Hoplomachi (greek style: spear, helmet, heavy armor) and mirmillones (roman style, gladius (50cm), large square shield, helmet and heavy armor) were the most successful gladiator types. Both were heavily armored. In latest times, the retiarii (light armor, helmet, trident and fishnet) were very difficult opponents to any type, because of the new and unusual fighting style and their weaponry. I would say either mirmillones or thraces (similar to mirmillones, heavy armor, curved blade and large, round shield) had the most victories because of their fighting style was relatively hard to counter, and they were well defended. Offensive types such as dimachaeri (light armor, double sword), essendari (heavy footmen with axe or other heavy weapon) and velites (light armor + spears) were very entertaining to watch (i suppose :D) but they fell quickly in the battle without armor.

How were slaves captured in ancient rome?
The Gladiator wasn't much like the Gladiators that you see on the television nowadays. A Roman Gladiator wore armour and carried a variety of weapons. As many of them were slaves and criminals they fought for one reason only: freedom, as famous gladiators could be freed from slavery. Because of this the Gladiator would fight extremely hard and often fights were to the death. This type of entertainment was very popular with the Romans and many captured soldiers were forced to fight as Gladiators in a bid to gain their freedom. They trained for the fights very hard and there were special Gladiator centre's where they would practice using the different weapons and try to work out ways of avoiding being hurt.

Was football helmets inspired by the roman gladiators helmets?
Probably not. Gladiator helmets came in many different styles, depending on the type of gladiator. Some had visors and a grill over the front of the face. They would be very impractical on a football field, as a football player has to see wide range, while a gladiator mainly only had to see what was directly in front of him.
