In my opinion, a fighter is Conan. Read the Conan stories and comics. That's what I want to see a fighter do.
The fighter is resourceful and clever. He's a predator on the battlefield. Outside of combat, he's probably a broken individual seeing the world as a new battle every day.
The fighter should dominate combat, with very few exception. Perhaps a barbarian would be one of those exceptions. Other classes should be able to shine in combat still, but under certain circumstances. For example, a rogue would shine in a surprise situation.
If characters are balanced in between combat, skill and social spheres, fighter should look a little bit like this:
Fighter
Combat - 80%
Exploration - 10%
Social - 10%
As opposed to say...
Wizard
Combat - 60
Exploration - 30
Social - 10
