Funny. I've never seen this fight before. I'll go with Achilles.

"One of the maddening but beautiful things about comics is that you have to give characters a sense of change without changing them so much that they violate the essence of who they are." ~ Ann Nocenti, Chris Claremont's X-Men.
Leonidas was a freak of nature fighter, but Achilles was a TOTAL monster. Like, not just a fantastic fighter, but blatantly superhuman at points and casually superior to other top notch opponents of his period. He can cut the head off of a solid bronze statue as an example and one shot the best soldiers that enemy armies can muster.
He cant one shot Leonidas, but he wears him down after a prolonged confrontation like he did with Hector.

After dispatching King Leonidas, Achilles barked a challenge to the Spartan army, "Who's next?!"
299 Spartans stepped forward.
Achilles cracked a grin. Fighting battles was their profession, but winning wars was his.
Achilles. He at least wore more than just a helmet. What's more, his only weak spot was his heel (hence the term, "Achilles Heel"). Leaving the rest of him invulnerable.
Leonidas would yell, "Beware our short-shorts!"
Achilles would respond, by stabbing Leonidas through with a spear.
