What あらそう does mean?


I would like to know if someone can help me with the word あらそう. Dictionaries
online translate it like "to compete" or "to oppose", but in the context of
the whole sentence, this definition makes no sense at all.

The whole sentence is this:

> 今のアイオリアは  
>  教皇に洗脳された  
>  たんなる戦闘マシーン  
>  黄金聖闘士の中でも  
>  一二をあらそう  
>  アイオリアが  
>  悪鬼のごとくせめれば  
>  青銅聖闘士など  
>  ひとたまりもない  
>  今頃ズタズタにされた  
>  星矢の死体が  
>  ころがっているはずだ

If I'm not wrong, the translation should be something like this: "Aiolia, now
that he was brainwashed by the Pope, is nothing but a fight machine. Aiolia
"あらそう" among the 12 Gold Saints, if he attacks like a demon, a Bronze Saint
has no chances, the corpse of Seiya should be lying in the floor by now...".

But as I said, I can't find a decent translation for "あらそう". Does anyone have
any idea?

Thanks in advance.

commonly aim for being #1, but settle with being #2 at worst. This too is [in
