That would be totally subjective. If a tribe was fighting for their families, they would be unbelievably fierce. The Pequots were known to be fierce fighters. So were the Cheyenne, the Apache and the Commanches. There were thousands of tribes that, given the right time and circumstances, would have been called the fiercest fighters.

The Cheyenne. Pound for pound man for man they were the bravest and the toughest. Though the Pawnee gave them a hard time the Pawnee outnumbered them 3-1 or more. And the Cheyenne gave the Pawnee all they could handle. Of 21 engagements with the US Military where the army lost 10 men or more the Cheyenne figured in 9 of those engaegments.

Even the Lakota, the bully boys of the plains gave the Cheyenne first place of honor ewhen they travelled together; and they were the ONLY allies the Sioux would deign to have. Cheyenne "DOG SOLDIERS" are the stuff of legends. The Spartans of the plains they were called.Even the mighty Sioux[Lakota] asked and were granted membership in the fierce DOG SOLDIERS of the Cheyenne. In fact the Masikota tribe were a sub-division that was actually half Sioux/half Cheyenne!

For the most part Oglala were the branch of Lakota that were friendliest w/ the Cheyenne, but even Brule and Mineconjou and SanArc travlled w/ the Mighty Cheyenne

The compelled the Comanche/Kiowa alliance to sue for peace even though they outnumbered the Cheyenne 5-1...We're talking only the SOUTHERN branch of the Cheyenne. True they had the Southern Arapahoe as allies, still ......Read John Moores "The Cheyenne"and anything by GRINNELL

The Comanche. They not only forced other tribes from the best buffalo hunting areas, they held the territory and slowed the expansion of first Spain, Mexico and finally the United States.
