Actually, during Blackwater, Lancel is struggling against a single soldier, while Tyrion has already killed one.
He also beat up that one guy while chained up.
Also, Lancel appears to be a coward.
I feel like, if Tyrion trained, and dedicated himself to brawn as much as his wits, he could be a decent fighter.
Sounds like I need to review Season 2, Episode 9. No complaints here
Also, can't remember if ol' Lancel had any combat feats after coming back as a Sparrow? I don't believe so, but could be mistaken. If that's the case, while he has physically-matured, he does not have any fighting/combat feats to show what difference that makes. And with your comment about his previous struggle in combat plus his cowardice, I'll be happy to go with Tyrion.
