Well, there could be a chance that one of the Elf Lords living in Aman could have defeated Sauron, but none of those living in Middle-earth probably could. It seems like the strength of the Elves and Men diminished from the First Age onwards, but Sauron's strength might have done the same. I mean, if Luthien defeated him with a song in the First Age, couldn't a combined force of Galadriel, Elrond, etc. cause him a great deal of damage? After all, look what the Last Alliance did, although with severe casualties.
