"One word against the other" or "One's word against the other"
When we say an arguement is only based upon the words of two persons. Do we use
1 "One word against the other" or
2 "One's word against the other".
The second one seems more correct grammatically but i found both are used so much in the Internet.
Any help pls!
Thanks in advance!
