How so?
Let us play the counting game...
How many punches would Spiderman need to land on Wolverine to put him down?
One... two... three... four.... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten... eleven... twelve.... thirteen....
Need I go on?
Now, on the alternate side, how many claw swipes/stabs will it take to pretty much take Spiderman out of commission?
One....
Err...
One.
Is Wolverine as fast as Spiderman? Of course not. Is he fast enough to fight Spiderman? Certainly. The gap between them exists, but it is not gargantuan. Wolverine's dodged bullets, lasers, he's speedblitzed groups of trained, armed men without taking a hit, he fought off TONS of ninjas, without them landing a single hit.
Spiderman's crazy fast. He's pretty much the fastest 'street' character there is. But he isn't so fast that the likes of Wolverine and Captain America would be entirely unable to react. They won't get speedblitzed. They'll be able to make it a fight - they'll be able to land some hits of their own.
And, in Wolverine's case, it'll only take one.
Now, let me amend this statement, because this only goes for Spiderman fighting Wolverine up-close. That neglects his biggest advantage; webbing.
With a smart utilization of webbing, Spiderman can win 10/10 against Wolverine.
However, if he goes and tries to make it a melee confrontation, he'll likely lose 10/10 to Wolverine. 😬.
The same can't be said for Sabretooth, who is faster than Wolverine, strong enough to break whatever he is webbed to, and has adamantium claws much more suited to cutting through webbing than Wolverine does. Webbing won't stop Sabretooth nearly as easily as it'd stop Wolverine.
