Good thing that's not my logic because I'm using his feats of defeating tons of characters, hand to hand and some superior to Khan, to state why his lossless hand to hand streak actually means something.

Don't forget superhuman strength (enough that it endangers Data's person as stated by the holodec when he tried to amp the strength up to "real borg" levels), and superhuman durability.

Based off of feats, temperament, what's in character, abilities, etc. you are taking one part of the equation and making it the entire equation. Feel free to debate in such a manner. That's not me. I debate why said character wins by fighting in character. My way if different than yours.Watching the scene against the Klingons it's easy to see why I feel Khan stomps.
In character, Data still wins with ease as he has always stepped up when danger, to his person or others, strikes. He just holds back as to not frighten people and rarely has he "amped it up" in the show.

Replacing all of the control chips in engineering was stated to take a human between 2 and 3 hours, Data did it in 10 minutes.
You sure it was 10 minutes?
As I recall from episode commentary, the feat was not necessarily about speed more than it was about carefully placing them into their slots because those chips were very fragile/sensitive. Data is really fast, of course, but his "speed feat" here has more to do with his precision and care WHILE moving super fast rather than just pure speed. A human takes that long because we are not as precise as a robot...it is assumed that a super-genius like Geordi La Forge has the precise chip configuration memorized so he spends no time looking at a configuration display while doing it. A less than super genius level human would take far longer than 2-3 hours. Keep in mind, the engineers on the Enterprise D are supposed to be the best of the best: this is the Federation's flagship. So comparing the "normal" 2 to 3 hour requirement to the engineers on the Enterprise D is like comparing engineering graduates from MIT to a 2-year state school in Alabama.
