I'll make this short. In long-range, Carver wins. No questions, no doubts, Carver just wins. A bow will always be better at range than throwing daggers. As for close range, I beleive Boromir will win. Boromir's a very skilled swordsman, whereas Carver's maul is just really too slow and heavy to match the speed of Boromir's sword. As far as armor goes. The Gray Warden armor is, of course, going to be slower and heavier. But it will protect more. Boromir's coming in with little plate armor, and chainmail, which is going to be his worst nightmare against that bow, just saying. I gotta go even here, because all that heavy armor and that maul will not help Carver use his weapons effectively. Not enough speed when using the maul and not enough mobility when using the bow. But where Boromir's allows speed, it lacks in protection. As for X-Factors, Boromir wins. Boromir is Gondor royalty, and has gotten the best of the best in training. The Gray Wardens don't really offer that level of training. As for experience, Boromir also wins. The endeavors of the Fellowship are not his first foray into battle. He has training, and experience, to back himself up, more than Carver anyways. Boromir also has determination, as shown in his death scene in LOTR. If it means the safety of Gondor, he will fight to his very last breath defending it. I think Boromir wins personally.
