What were the best stretch duels of all time?

Of course, he took one in the chest just inches from his heart, but apparently he was a good handicapper and won the photo.

i think he dueled with someone over his wife rachel....or maybe not. my main beef with the hero of new orleans was the defiance of the supreme court when he forced the native americans out of florida. but altho hamilton lost the duel, he was also a war hero. was one hell of a guy, self-made...oh, and would probably have made even bill clinton blush with his exploits.
