Achilles, fictitious or not, he is known throughout history as the greatest warrior.
EDIT: My fault, I thought you asked for the best warrior, not the best leader. The best leader in history is Alexander the Great. Being a great leader does not automatically equate to being a great warrior, though.

THe Greeks lost at Thermopylae, they did take care of to delay the Persians for 2 finished days. The Arabs took Spain and parts of Southern France and it purely took the Franks and Spanish 500 years to force them out. The forces of Genghis Khan created an empire the reached from the Pacific to the Volga in below 15 years. as far because the Spanish, Portuguese and British they were scuffling with with better guns and technologies. The Italians defeated the Ethiopians interior the 1930's pitting plane and tanks adversarial to those with swords and muskets. It purely took them 5 years.

open question:
1. Robert E. Lee for tactical prowess over long odds
2. Genghis Khan expanded Mongolian Empire immensely (the fact that they were nomadic horsemen helped a lot)
3. Julius Caesar for dismantling the last of Gallic resistance agaist Rome, putting himself in the thick of fighting, and sacking Rome itself.
4. Hannibal for invading Rome and showing Rome could be beaten in the field.
5. Ketchaweyu for his gallant stand against British incursion into Zulu lands
6. Alexander the Great for being lucky, more than enough times to count to include assassination attempts by his own generals.
7. Pancho Villa because the bastard was never caught (was referred to as a general by own troops)
8. William the Conqueror, for his part in liberating Scotland
9. General Patton...hes my hero
10. Napoleon...lets face it...he kicked *** until arrogance brought him down.

Alexander the great made his conquest as a teenager. He had Julius Ceaser thinking he was a failure because he was much older when he ruled Rome.

I side with Alexander--he was the original, emulated by men like Caesar, Napoleon and all the royal houses.
