Orion says Kalibak is his equal in strength, but not his equal as a fighter. And you can see it.

Starts the fight without his skills, not even a warrior nature, against Valkyra, who is pretty hyped up in fighting skills. He starts winning when his old self is back, until the fight is interrupted.

Darkseid is MUCH stronger than Orion.

Even when, technically Orion should have been stronger than normal.

But Orion's fighting skills have compensated against Darkseid.

Let's assume Ares should get similar credit for fighting skills as Orion. Ares is what? At least a tier below Hercules/Thor/Bill in strength? Where Orion is stronger than them in addition to his fighting skills, making this an unintentionally faulty comparison at best, dishonest strawman at worst.
