I know we all like to s%#$ on Meryn--but even if we assume that he did not kill Syrio offscreen, Meryn grabbed and broke Syrio's sword onscreen even though Syrio had just stomped five Lannister soldiers in a few seconds. The only reason to think Meryn is below fodder is by Sandor's statement but that was obviously trash talk. Jaime said he couldn't beat a stable boy with his left hand but we all know that wasn't true.
@foxerdes: Beating Maelys the Monstrous, a guy stronger than the Mountain--and this was immediately after Barristan cut through the Golden Company, the finest army in the world; beating an armed and armored Mero while Barristan himself was unarmored and wielding only a walking stick; stomping Khrazz, an veteran pit fighter.
