Which logical fallacy is set up by attacking an opposing argument that was never put forth?

Straw man

Explanation:

The strawman fallacy is usually exhibited in discussions between parties with conflicting views, political debates or group discussions. When arguments or points of discourse are put forth, an opponent rather than addressing or refuting the point made, tries to misrepresent the point of view which wasn't put forth.
