Another good showing or two from Euron in the final season could swing my vote, but I have to back Daario for now. His fluidity in combat should prepare him for Euron's 'juggernaut' approach, and so long as he doesn't underestimate him (especially in terms of speed), he should net a good majority of wins.
@nfactor1995: Generally just all-around better. Daario hasn't done anything that's particularly wowed me, even though I think he's still pretty great. I don't think that Daario could replicate Euron's showing against the Sand Snakes.
Didn't Euron grab the sand snakes whip mid-crack? That's pretty impressive for reflex.
Strength, Euron definitely has the strength advantage. Considering Daario has zero feats.
Skill: feats>statements. So Euron wins.
Gear: one wares a breast plate and chainmail...the other doesn't.
And, consider this, the fact that Euron was outpacing Yara and the sand snakes (all of whom were wearing either light/no armor. Also says alot about his combat speed)
@captain_inverse: I've noticed that with Game of Thrones battles, most fans tend to side with statements over actual feats, especially if a character is top tier in the books, but way less impressive in the show; I'm looking at you show! Jaime. Jon has some of the best feats in the show, and straight up defeated a white walker; beings who are confirmed to be much stronger than the hound or Brianne, in head to head 1v1 combat, and he still gets low balled.
@thatduderox: I'm not trying to downplay statements; at least not much. Daario growing up in the fighting pits says alot, just like Drogo being undefeated amongst thousands of dothraki says volumes. But Euron isn't some Tyrell, he's a greyjoy and just as ruthless and experienced as Daario, if not more so.
