*stifling laughter* Legolas would probably win, because all the Legolas groupies would surround Glorfindel with flaming whips and beat him to a pulp :D

I am only joking here and mean no offense to any of the Legolas fans out there. The whole question is moot, anyhow, because in only rare instances have Elves ever gone against Elves.
 
I say Legolas and what the heck r u guys talking about he didn't drop his bow when he saw the Balrog in Moria and how would you know that Glorfindel is stronger if they barely even talk about him. Also Glorfindel never rode against the NAzgul. The second he heard themhe sent Frodo on his hourse and Frodo rode from them by himself!!!!
 
1. Glorfindel is one of the most powerful of all the Noldor. He held the flanks when Trugons and Fingons Noldorin army were escaping from the Nirnaeth.

2. He is lord of the Golden Flower and he kicked butt in Fall of Gondolin.

3. He slew a Balrog. He didn't wail, unlike an elf I know.



Also Glorfindel never rode against the NAzgul.

Wrong.

October 11; 3018 He (Glorfindel) drives the riders off the bridge of Mietheitel
-Appendix; Tale of Years; LoTR
Plus:

Then the Witch-King laughed...But Glorfidnel rode up then on his white horse, and in the midst of his laughter the witc king turned to flight...
Appendix; A; LoTR

Even the Lord of the Nazgul was afraid of him.

Soem more quotes if you like:

He (Elrond) sends out scouts north, south and west. These scouts are Elves of power.
HoME 7-Gandalf's delay.

This suppostion would indeed explain the air of sancity that surronds Glorfindel
HoME 12-Last Writings

We can thus understand why he seems so powerful a figure and almost angelic.
HoME 12-Last Writings

It is evident that he was a Elda of high and noble spirit.

If Glorfindel is so great why was his only role in FOTR taken by Arwen in the movie!!!!!!!!!!

I would say Elrond could take Glorfindel, hell, I'd guess his daughter could take him

This is only my opinion
 
Peter Jackson did not want the bother of casting and writing scenes for a character who had only a relatively small part. This way he would have one big character instead of two smaller ones. I can't say I was happy about it but I understand it.
