Nah. Kurse threw that boulder of solid rock the size of several houses on Thor and he was still conscous and trying to fight back. And Kurse strength > Thor strength.
It's not about the strength of the attacker in this case, it's about the strength of the substance. Caps shield is way more dangerous than a boulder. Caps shield tanked the Mjolnir, and that is when Cap DIDN'T have Thor strength.
You're right that cap doesn't have as much experience. But I have to disagree with the first part of your comment. There is no proof Thor has faced opponents who wield anything even close to as strong and durable as caps shield.
Just hitting Cap's shield caused Thor to fly backwards

Remember when you said strength doesn't matter? It still does. Like I stated earlier, Kurse was going all out on Thor and kicking his ass, and Thor was never KO'd, though has was hurtin for certain when Kurse was punching his head thru the ground. So even if Cap has equalized strength and durability it wont give him an edge over thor anyway. If I had the body of Anderson Silva, equal in every way and we fought, I'd still get raped.
No, the force of Thor's strike being rebounded cause Thor to fly backwards.
There is little difference between being hit by caps shield or a normal shield. Cap's shield being more durable doesn't suddenly increase the force unless it is also much more dense (Which it probably isn't, considering how light it apparently is).
This is ignoring that Thor isn't just strong or durable, he still has command of the weather that Cap has no answer to.
Even if strength and durability are equal, Thor still has an advantage of weather manipulation and flight. And even if you remove Thor's other powers, Mjolnir is just a more devastating weapon than Cap's shield. So bloodlusted fight, Thor wins.
Now if you made it pure h2h, then that would be intersting. And I could make an argument for both parties.
Actually the force of the shield depends on it's weight and acceleration (when cap throws it) , obviously this shield is very heavy and cap is strong enough to handle it So it definitely does more damage than normal shields.
As far as I know, the entire point of the shield (In like every interpretation ever) has always been that it's very light weight, perfectly balanced, and yet basically indestructible and able to reflect nearly any amount of force.
IIRC, we even see normal characters lifting it up in his first movie.
I'd agree with faster, but far more skilled? I don't think so. Just because Cap can do fancier kicks doesn't mean he's better skilled. Thor has better h2h feats against better opposition.
