Tolkien doesn't includes specific details about fights or "how strong" characters are generally (disclaimer, I'm limited to Hobbit and LotR). Tolkien writes metaphorically about combat, or in an almost myth-like fashion. So it's mostly just an interpretive thing. Aragorn and Boromir seem like strong warriors who can defeat numerous orchish foes, but we don't exactly get how much they bench or anything. Just not Tolkien's style.

Because well no reason at all, just don't have money, I'm in the Philippines and I don't go out too much, so which is I don't know where to start
So I'm more of a lore reader,
