I think it's fairly accurate after reading a good chunk of both characters material
Well... you're mistaken.
Faster? Slade? I don't think so. His best speed feat is jumping between the blade of a spinning industrial fan. Impressive... but not quite up to snuff with Cap's best, and Captain America has never been blitzed by Nightwing, Slade has.
More durable? Because of armor? You are aware that Slade's armor is routinely destroyed? That it has been penetrated by stiletto blades and small arms fire? Slade's armor obviously has also been shown to no sell artillery fire on occasion as well but Cap's armor is far more consistent than Slade's. Sans armor? Slade's been taken down by machine gun fire even while wearing his armor, Cap's taken machine gun fire to the chest in his civies, and kept fighting. You can disregard that from durability if you believe it's a healing feat if you'd like, but he also had Gambit charge his armor, and tanked the explosion like it was nothing. He's also stayed in the pocket and gone shot for shot with Iron Man.
Better fighter? Even? That's laughable. Captain America doesn't get tooled by guys like Nightwing or Arsenal in melee combat. Captain America is more skilled than Deathstroke. Much more skilled. Punisher is much more skilled than Deathstroke. Slade just isn't that good of a fighter. He gets buy on low level super human attributes, not combat skill.
Striking? Slade sans shield? Captain America has two shoted the Hulk. He's smashed through re-inforced SHIELD windows designed to stand up to ballistic missiles. He has much better striking feats than Slade does.
