When Shatterstar casually one-shots Wolverine in an entirely canon book, and when he knocks out one of Wolverine's nastiest enemies such as Gorgon -who is pretty much untouchable- with a single kick, maybe then we can start talking about Shatterstar giving Matt some troubles.
But seriously, DD has showings on his side.

Shatterstar is about as fast and as good a fighter as DD, in addition to being superhuman in strength and endurance, by a sizeable amount. If anyones losing steam as this fight goes on, it sure aint gonna be Shatterstar. DD is good, but hes just out of his power league in reliably beating SS.

Exactly. Recently he looked like he CASUALLY stopped a weapon attack by the Thing that was about to pummel Guido. Thing is Cl100 now no? That was a damn impressive showing by Shatterstar.
That happens in comics all the time, Daken stopped Skaar's sword strike with Wolverine's skull...

Do you have a scan of the Daken/Skaar incident?
In the Shatterstar/Thing fight; Shatterstar not only stopped a strike from a Cl100 character barreling downward on his teammate, he was casually swinging a weight around like a baton, tearing bits of flesh off Thing's face with his strikes, then hitting Thing (who weighs hundreds of pounds) with enough force to knock him through a wall.
Did Daken do that to Skaar?
If Shatterstar had his swords, THing would have been destroyed.

I'm not. It was a one-time showing, nothing more.
I don't, but I can get it... it happened in Incredible Hulk #603.
Thing's hide gets cracked all the time. Wolverine managed to bust him through the wall, too.
No, but he did have Skaar on his knees and dead to rights...
You don't even know if Shatterstar's swords would be able to pierce Grimm.

Stark and Murdock badly need revamping their threads. Seriously, a low meta gets one good showing (even though he gets owned later in the same arc) and people support him vs. The Man Without Fear?

Even though I think DD stomps, that still doesn't take away from what happened. That is a ft for Shatterstar.
No, it's just a bad showing for Juggernaut. And he aimed for his eyes, which are the vulnerable spots (still should be protected by his invulnerability enchantment/forcefield, but apparently weren't). Like I said, Feral pierced his skin in the same arc - you really think she could do the same to the Thing...? That's just poor writing.

There are countless other examples like this:
*Elektra blocking Class 10 Silver Samurai's strikes
*Wolverine blocking Crusader's sword swipe
*Daredevil stopping Warpath's knives with his billy club
*etc.

He wasn't parrying a horizontal attack which can be written off as deflecting it's momentum, he was blocking a downward strike.
Shatterstar was tearing bits of Thing's flesh off with each strike too, using nothing more than a common weight. Not adamantium claws, mystic hammers, magic swords, or whatever.

With the exception of the Daken/Scar incident (need to see scan), NONE of those examples are a street leveler literally blocking a heavy weight wielded by a Cl100 barreling down on their teammate ,apparently, effortlessly.He wasn't parrying a horizontal attack which can be written off as deflecting it's momentum, he was blocking a downward strike.
Thing is not class 100 and I really, really doubt he was going all out anyway.
You're just sugar-coating that showing.

It's happening to Ben quite often...
