Point being Wolverine consistently struggles against superior combatants. As I have pointed out before, he did not TOUCH Elektra - actually he did, but she LET him slash her thigh to lure him in when she punched two holes through his chest.
For comparative purposes:
Wolverine cannot even beat SABRETOOTH. They stalemate most of the time. Sabretooth HAS beaten Wolverine. It HAS been said that Sabretooth is BIGGER, STRONGER, and FASTER.
Daredevil, for example, beat the SHIT out of Sabretooth. Daredevil #228 was it? With Sabretooth on the cover. Part of the Mutant Massacre crossover. The ONLY reason Sabretooth got a few slashes in is because Daredevil was initially trying to protect some innocent bystanders. After the area cleared, Sabretooth did not land ANOTHER punch. Daredevil beat his ass until he ran and jumped into the sewers.
Daredevil will best Batman in hand 2 hand combat and with no weapons. With weapons, it is generally accepted that Batman defeats Daredevil.
Daredevil would beat the shit out of Wolverine, claws or otherwise. He is THAT GOOD. He defeated Iron Fist who is considered to be one of the VERY BEST martial artists in the entire Marvel Universe, along with Shang Chi. He was trained by Stick, THE BEST martial artist/mystic in the Marvel Universe. He is below Elektra, and not by much. Elektra was, of course, trained by Stick, Stone, Star, and Shaft. Logical, considering he is above Batman, and Batman is below both Daredevil AND Elektra.
Wolverine could not touch Captain America WITHOUT his claws and WITHOUT Cap's shield. WITH his shield? LoL, forget about it. Cap stomps Wolverine.
"Captain America is one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known."
Captain America and Batman are considered to be EQUALS. Cap lifts ~1,000 lbs. Batman, if I am not mistaken, lifts the same.
Wolverine is below EVERYONE in this list. Figure the rest out for yourselves.
Wolverine lifts ~800lbs, period. End of that story.
