Hercules wasn't going all out against Sentry, either, to be fair. He was treating the encounter, and Sentry, like a joke. If both men went all out, Sentry would probably end up gaining an advantage due to his speed and flight factor, but if he was going to slug it out on the ground with Herc, then yes, I do believe it's entirely possible the Prince of Power would have schooled him.
If Diana was far below Sentry's weight class, then yeah, I'd wager her skills wouldn't do much for her. But the thing is, she's consistantly shown to be in/around DC's top tier from strength, speed, and durabilty showings alone. Adding her level of skill and equipment simply make her more than a match for the Sentry we've seen the most of from Marvel: roughly mid to upper-middle herald class.
Sentry, love him or hate him, is just a character hard to debate for in these kind of VS. forums. He's all over the place, and one can easily display all of his low showings to discredit the guy or sell all of his high showings, completely disregarding the other ones. To me, after taking all of his showings and averaging them out so to speak (not taking into account DA#12 until I personally am more informed on the nature/specifics of his power), Sentry certainly has the raw stats to engage Diana, but his mental state (something that simply can't be ignored when dealing with Sentry as it's as much of his character as his "s" logo is) really hamper him here.
And when dealing with a top tier combatant with comparable stats and an even better set of skills/equipment such as Diana, it's not going to be as simple as Sentry just overpowering her.
In the end, I'd give Diana a 5.5-6/10 against a competent Sentry. Obviously, she doesn't fare too well against a "matter manipulating" Sentry, but until I see some more consistant feats of this magnitude, I'm not going to assume he'll be fighting at this level.
