In a sword fight you are going to block, parry and dodge your opponents sword while trying to force an opening and land an blow. Wolverine can potentially end the fight with blow and with out the means to block or parry with out lossing a limb he is only left with dodging for an option. He has to avoid every slash coming at him. Wolverine's claws wont be repelled by Ben's hide if they catch him, even just a little, Wolverine's own body weight and momentum will force his claws in much further. The fact of the matter is that Ben will need to over exert himself to avoid Wolverine's attacks and seeing how Wolverine is lithe, nimble and extremely skilled it would be a simple task to set Grimm up to dodge an attack and the fallow up with an attack that would impossible to avoid form his current position. Wolverine is a much smaller target then Ben, even when standing at full height and then out top of that he will be crouching to more the half of that making him very hard to hit when by comparison Ben is as big as a house even if Ben was as skilled as Wolverine in martial combat Wolverine's smaller frame would allow him to slip through Ben's guard.
