Spider-Man is stronger (as far as I now) and faster.
He'll have a hard time, and occasionally he'll come
close to being tagged by Sabertooth's claws, but in
the end he'll knock Sabertooth down, and web him
up.
Spider-man is just one of those characters who is
very hard to pin down or defeat. The guy's just too
good, is all.
He webbed Sabretooth in the face. Sabretooth tried to rip it off,
but instead ripped the skin off his face. Fight over.
There's so many ways Spidey can whoop Sabretooth......
of course Wolvie fanboys will never accept this since it would
imply that Spidey can also beat Wolverine.....
oh dear.....not Wolvie.....
