Agreed. Although I'm not sure if I consider the duel itself dishonorable. I mean sure, Ulfric had considerable power, but whats dishonorable about that? The Thu'um is a skill, just like swinging blades and axes, which can be learned by any Nord with the right training. Just because Torygg didn't have matching skills can hardly be blamed on Ulfric. Although you can say that he could have skipped using the Thu'um to make the duel more fair. But I doubt the outcome would have been any different. Ulfric is an experience war veteran while Torygg is a young nobleman, with only a little martial training. Thus why I won't complain over Ulfric using his Voice in the duel. If anything, he might have spared Torygg a lot of pain by killing him swiftly.
