(Ya know Black Bolt from Marvel? That's a fraction of the Thuum's power)

Dovahkiin would win lorewise unless he lets say went to fight Sauron pre ring (when Sauron didn't stupidly put his power into the ring.) Sauron put his power in the One Ring for a good reason - to control the elven lords, human kings and dwarven kings by giving them their own powered rings (which were not that strong as his own ring, obviously ) and then, through these 'lesser' rings, control them.

Although, unfortunately for him, he could only enslave the human kings because they were greedy, and they turned into the Ring Wraiths - or the black cloaked badasses from the first movie.

The Elves luckily found out and evaded having to be controlled by Sauron.

The Dwarves weren't enslaved, but influenced, and their greed for gold just increased.

If he could have enslaved the Elven lords, his forces would've been waaaaay more powerful. It was a good plan to put his power into the One Ring, but it just didn't work as he expected.
