Jinzin and Phantom-you are making my arguement for me. I have already said thet Spidey shouldn't beat Firelord-that fight was PIS. But he shouldn't lose to street levellers either.
Hmmmm... Not really. The difference between Spiderman and high end street levels is minimal. They're in the same league when it comes to what kinds of feats they have, what kind of enemies they take down, and what it takes to bring them down.
The difference between Spiderman and a friggin Herald of Galactus is absurdly and vastly monumental in comparison.
It's like the difference between two olympic runner; Gold and Silver place medal winners, one might be marginally better than the other but neither are as fast as a turbo jet which is what the difference between FL and SM is when you consider outright power.
Firelord shouldn't lose to Spiderman because he regularly competes at another level completely it's not even logical to compare him to streetwalking metahumans. Spiderman on the other hand has been in street level contests since his incarnation.

You state correctly that in the Firelord fight Firelord was written down. Spiderman is written down in a lot of stories, including ones where he faced off against Captain America.
How is that even remotely the same?
The only advantage Spiderman brings to a street level fight at Cap's level is strength... that's the only thing he has over any 1st class streeter in h2h...
The advantages that Firelord has over Spiderman range from a strength and durability hundreds of times greater, to reaction times that can compensate for lightspeed intersteller travel, to power that can bring down planets...
It's like comparing a baseball to a golfball, and then comparing the same baseball to a Hummer II and calling the comparative differences between them to be in the same range.. they aren't and are far from it.

As for Spiderman's own comments about Captain America, regarding his H2H skill, if you know anything about Spiderman, it is he reveres Cap and he tends to play down his own abilites
Sure he reveres Cap, but his abilities have never shown to have a good use of h2h combat knowledge especially up against high class streeters not including Cap.
