The last time Billy and Teth fought was in the pages of JSA. Adam and Isis had prep, smashed Lord Marvel into a pillar said to have power enough to crush the gods themselves (an homage to the same pillar which fell on Shazam himself in the original comics), and then stole his power. Considering Lord Marvel had the sum power of both his original Captain Marvel powers and those of the Wizard's, I'd chalk that up to PIS, imo, prep time and plot device pillar notwithstanding.
Without preparation time or amps, Cap and Black Adam are definitively equals, with Adam being more ruthless and Cap displaying more versatility/ingenuity with his powers.
