Beast can press 2 tons in his current form as per the latest handbook. Someone a few months ago lied or misinterpreted the new(ish) marvel rating system forgetting that each number of the system encompasses quite a wide range of values. Therefore in terms of strength Sabretooth is on par with Beast at least then you need to factor in Sabres far superior fighting skills, his greater combat experience, better healing factor and better senses. Sabretooth wins. He is the only other fighter on the planet that wolverine considers his equal
That's funny, I always remember Wolverine telling ST that he was a "poor man's Wolverine". Hell, other people in the comics even said that. It was just fact to them. Yea, ST could hold his own, but I don't believe that Wolvie EVER considered him his equal.
Anyway.
You're right, there has been a misunderstanding when it comes to Beast's strength. It's not 40 tons, but it's not 2 either. If I remember correctly, he's about as strong as Spiderman, in the 10-15 ton range if he really pushes himself. There is just hardly a time in the comics when his strength is really necessary. He relies more on his speed, agility, and dexterity anyway.
Also, I would say their senses are on par with each other. Beast is called "Beast" for a reason, ya know. Beast also has some high quality claws that he can show off, because they're pretty good ones at that. I'm not saying they're better than adamantium. But as someone basically posted earlier: (Summary) What's the difference between being cut with adamantium or bone? It still freakin cuts and does the same thing.
Not to mention that ST is galaxies away from Beast in intelligence. Both book smarts and street smarts. It's almost not even funny. But it kinda is. Beast would definitely be the smarter fighter. Hell, Beast has been fighting all his life, even when he was young and his father used to beat him, then he started to fight back.
Beast also has some mad endurance, something he's been known for since the beginning. Another reason why he was so great at football while in college. He's also got heart, much more than Sabretooth has. Beast could keep on fighting as long as the fight lasted.
I don't believe for one second that someone of ST speed will ever hit Beast, who is basically a blue, furry Spiderman. You also make it sound like all Beast does is read Shakespeare all day. The furry one trains his butt off as well, and has been since, oh, I dunno, he was one of the FIVE ORIGINAL X-MEN and all. I'd say Beast has plenty of experience. Wouldn't you?
In this fight, I would EASILY give it to Beast.
