This seems like a clear illustration

It's certainly got the combat part but nothing's really saying "champion" to me.

I'd suggest something like this: 1. One of the most famous Combat by Champion situations of all time.

Or, for a historical one: 2.

What situation is that?

(Rhetorical. Not good IMO. A page image is judged more by what it looks like than what it is.)

I think it's pretty evident it looks like two warriors from two opposing armies battling one another while their armies wait by the wayside, i.e the textbook description of a Combat by Champion.

Smaller but shows the other army. There's the Robert the Bruce one as well.

I think "but shows the other army" makes a big difference.

3.1 works for me...the other version is a little too low-quality.

5.1 is still a better illustration though.

5.1 is acceptable.

How about this comic, first and third panel?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I prefer 5.1, though I'd like to see a better quality version.

[up]That's not even depicting the trope at all. [tdown]

Add one more vote for 5.1. Showing both armies staying back makes it clear that it's more than just an ordinary contest.

Well, with that, 5.1 is up and tagged pending a possible better quality form; caption or no?

Well, apparently no caption it is. I've put in ^ as a quality improvement; otherwise, requesting closure.
