Yeah GRRM thinks too much of his characters, he wrote a match between Jaime Lannister and Rand Al'thor, and Jaime won. Absolutely ridiculous a guy who can wield magic that can burn people out of time vs a guy with a sword.
Also a guy who reality shapes itself around and therefore doesn't really lose.
Also he has the memories of hundreds of years of training in the sword.
Sometimes things just work out that way
Also when he lost a hand he didn't become a little bitch.
He turned an entire army into aerosol at the Battle of Dumai's Wells. I'm pretty sure he can handle little Jamie Lanister.

For real, even without channeling Rand was a basically peerless swordsman.
Don't bother of them lose their dominant hands?
Yeah. Rand was still inhumanly badass afterwards tho
Being Magic Jesus does that. I think Martin's comments probably refer to pure swordplay, with The Grand Sister Banger being a contender for the most skilled swordsman on the continent he might be able to take Rand if you stripped his subconscious reality bending and channeling.
Rand broke and reformed existence itself. I don't think he'd be threatened by a little sister fucker.
