Have we met? Okay, I'm going to expand on my vote, and I have video clips from Youtube to show these hunters respective battles. I just hope said Videos work.

Let's start off with the minions -

Gaston's Villagers Versus the Beast's Castle's Cursed Servants -

Gaston's villagers get inside the castle easily - fifty Frenchmen with an oak tree will do that when no one is guarding the door. However, things seem a little quiet, until Lumiere gives the signal for the servants to attack. The villagers just get steamrolled, and it's not like the Beast is even in the fight. Of course, this is in part because the servants saw the villagers approaching the castle, and came up with a plan to ambush them.

Now, let's look as Clayton's Hunters capture Tarzan's Family, and the Ape man comes to the Rescue -

Clayton's hunters are initially successful, capturing the gorillas, including Kerchak, the alpha male. It isn't until Tarzan shows up, with help, that things turn around for the Hunters.

Now, for the Fighters themselves -

Gaston Fights the Beast -

Gaston shows that he's a good show with his longbow, getting a depressed Beast in the shoulder, but this doesn't really hinder the Beast that much, especially once he starts fighting back. However, he does demonstrate his fitness, when he tackles/shoves the Beast through a window, and then kicks him, before picking up a club of sorts. However, the Beast sees Bella, and gains the will to fight back. The two engage in a battle of strength, wit, and cunning, to a certain extent, before the Beast grabs Gaston, and hold him over and edge, causing Gaston to beg for his life. The Beast decides to let the man live, turning his back, and go to Bella. Gaston however, attacks with his knife, stabbing the Beast in the back. However, the beast reacts, knocking Gaston off balance, causing him to fall to his death.

Clayton fights Tarzan -

Clayton fires a shot at Tarzan, injuring the ape-man's right arm, which hampers him through the rest of the fight. Kerchak attempts to defend Tarzan, Jane, and Kala, Tarzan's stepmother, only to be shot in the chest, mortally wounded. Apparently demonstrating quick reloading skills, Clayton fires at Tarzan several more times, before knocking out Jane who had tried to attack him. Clayton then shows his own fitness by climbing a vine after a wounded Tarzan. After getting on top of a branch, Clayton gets attacked by Tarzan, causing him to lose his shotgun. The two engage in some unarmed combat, before Clayton is knocked within reach of his shotgun. However, before he can get it, Tarzan picks it up, turning it on Clayton. Clayton dares Tarzan to use it, to 'be a man'. Tarzan makes the sound of a gunshot, and smashes the weapon, claiming he's not a man like Clayton. Clayton then attacks Tarzan with a machete, but Tarzan uses a vine to get to a safer place. Clayton follows, using his machete, but Tarzan uses several vines to trap the hunter. Angered, Clayton starts cutting the vines, not noticing one around his neck, and cutting the one he was holding onto, causing him to fall, and hang himself.

So, basically when you look at the two, side by side, Clayton has, overall, better minions, and has shown plenty of skill with his weapons, being fairly quick at reloading his shotgun, and is fairly swift with the machete as well. Hopefully, he doesn't get as angry as Gaston does, as the first one to lose his cool will most likely die.

Winner - I've stated this already, but I'll say it again - Clayton
