I know Logan is very durable but if he gets punches to Logan's head that is a tremendous amount of force. As I said earlier, the adamantium will prevent Logan's skull from being cracked but the concussive force still reaches his brain stem. And that's where knockouts come from.
With the claws taken into consideration, Logan's reach is much greater than Namor's so it would be difficult for Namor to actually get inside to where he could land some blows. But it's also dangerous for Logan to get close enough to do more than put shallow and/or superficial wounds on Namor. When he is close enough to actually run Namor through he is also in Namor's striking range. Logan would have to cut a vital spot, like a major artery, to drop Namor fast. It's conceivable that even if Namor were seriously wounded he would be able to KO Logan before losing too much blood pressure and passing out.
Unless Namor does something like fly over Logan and tear his head off, if that's even possible for him to do, he is at a greater risk of actually dying than Logan is. Of course this is if they're in an arena and in spontaneous combat.
