LOTR: Could Gandalf The White Have Easily Defeated The Balrog?

There are dozens of epic battles throughout The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, but one of the most epic is the standoff between Gandalf The Grey and the Balrog that lived deep within the depths of the Mines of Moria. It was the first time fans of the series were able to witness just how powerful of a being Gandalf was while also seeing just how real the threat of Sauron’s dark forces could be. Luckily, Gandalf was there to handle that fearsome foe.
