Pound for pound or ounce for ounce.
I feel the humble gudgeon is a good scrapper, but its so relative. Due to weight and size a barbel around the 10lb has power weight, both its body mass and the water pressure.
As also commented, the tacke is a major role in how a fight turns out.
I guess this is a question with many answers, many of them right.
For my money, I have to say that river carp are pretty high up.

Common Eel!

They can swim backwards!

Grass carp I reckon. Having never caught a barbel I have yet to find out.

the barbel only feel as if its a good scrap because there in really fast swims so must of the time your reeling in a goodfish in fast waters.
