In one of Tolkiens letters he said that few could withstand Sauron, no of the mortal race. He said Aragorn had no hope of doing it, he only won the battle through the palantiri because it was his! If Aragorn could withstand him face to face how come Elendil mortally wounded Sauron and Isildur cut the ring off?
