I know there is already a bunch of these but I will be most likely making another one of these once Wind and Truth has been out for awhile and will be interesting to see how opinions have changed. I'm a big Words of Radiance fan so expect me to forget to include a couple of your favorite fights that are not  from that book. I'll try to update the poll with new options if there is something obvious I missed.

This isn't an option and it makes me sad... I realize it is less of a fight scene and more a friendly or not so friendly sparring session... 

Kal vs Vasher

It wins automatically because I get to read about how hectic it is to fight against an awakener not knowing about the magic system.

PoV seeing magic for the first time not knowing it is magic is epic and underrated. That fight is the winner hands down.

That was awesome! I completely forgot about it. I'm not sure I can add new options to the poll but Zahel/Vasher is a badass.

By editing the first post.

Also missing:
- Kaladin vs Heleran (WoK)
- Adolin vs Elit (WoR)
- Szeth vs Adolin, Dalinar and Kaladin (at palace - WoR)
- Lift vs Darkness (Edgedancer)
- Kaladin vs Shanay-im atop the Kholinar Wall (OB)
- Battle of Kholinar Palace (OB)
- Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin vs Shanay-im in Shadesmar (OB)
- Lopen and Huio vs the Greatshell (Dawnshard)
- Bridge 4 vs Shanay-im over Hearthstone (RoW)
- Wit and Jasnah vs Ruthar (RoW)
- Navani vs Moash (RoW)
 

Also suggest you make it a "choose three" post (or seperate into two polls, pre and post Everstorm) because too many options with only one choice means you will not have significant amounts of votes for comparison across the board.

Finally, I think you should define what you mean by "epic" - because, by definition (epic is "grand in scale" which precludes 1 vs 1 fights), the only options on the list that could be "Epic" are Battle for Narak, Battle of Thaylenah Field, and Ralthalas (though shown as 1 person, an army was actually present).

I'm not including some fights as while they might be good I'm not sure they are anyone's favorite. Epic could mean grand in scale but I also think it could mean very good combat. I should have probably broken this down per book as there are a ton of great fights but I'll do that later. I'll also look up how to make it a choose 3 poll so you can pick one from each book (close to each).

Kaladin fighting betrayal, cruelty, and despair almost always beats out actual combat for me.

By which I mean WoK charging the Tower. The fight itself is awesome because it's not really the Parshendi that he is fighting, but a world and society that lets things like Sadeas' betrayal slide. Same with going against Moash at the end of WoR, pitiful fight though it was of a badly injured spearman against a Shardbearer - where the Shardbearer lost.
