Hayden Schlossberg Reveals His Top Five Fighters in ‘Cobra Kai’
Hayden Schlossberg, co-creator of Cobra Kai, recently shared his personal ranking of the top five teen fighters in the series.
In a social media post, he responded to a fan’s question about the best fighters, revealing his list, which includes Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), Axel (Patrick Luwis), Kwon (Brandon H. Lee), Robby (Tanner Buchanan), and Hawk (Jacob Bertrand). Diego (Justin Ortiz) also got a special mention.
Miguel, at the top of the list, has been a central character in the show, and his growth as a fighter mirrors the series’ focus on redemption. Robby, who had a complex relationship with his father Johnny, also stands out for his development both as a fighter and a person.
Schlossberg’s ranking highlights the importance of the show’s villains. Characters like Axel, Kwon, and Hawk played major roles in the story, with each showing different levels of skill and personal growth.
