Also, even Ezio was shown more effectively battling a small army when he was in his FIFTIES. Edward was killed by two to five guys in his forties. Really, I'd argue that if not for four firearms, Edward's probably the least likely to win this at all.
First things first... WHY DID YOU THROW IN THAT SPOILER??? I AM LITERALLY 3 SEQUENCES FROM THE LAST MISSION!!!
Next, Ezio did take on a small army in Revelations, but only killed a few (I will grant that it was still impressive, because he had an arrow in his shoulder) before one of his hidden blades was broken off and he was captured (but escaped).
I will say that Edward is better than is being let on here, as he was the only one to not be trained by the Assassins until after he was a damn good fighter (and after killing more than a few Templars in the process). He also has the blow darts, and rope darts (which he can hang people with) to go along with his already deadly arsenal of weaponry.
