The Juubi or anything around that power wouldn't just beat Melkor by feats.
They'd probably stomp him, considering it's apparently a moon buster.
Also, Melkor is powerful in that he can reshape landscapes with his will.
In h2h combat he's a big b!tch. Oh sure he's really strong and durable, but Melkor is by canon a cowardly little girl with micropenis syndrome.
Tulkas is not as powerful as Melkor, but he is strong enough and skilled enough a warrior to beat him in martial combat.
What feats does he have beside that?
The moon is a boat driven by the Maia Tilion, last I checked. The sun is also a boat.
Melkor is very powerful, the greatest of the Valar, sure.
But in martial combat he might be the single biggest pussy of their number. Melkor being a huge bleeding vagina isn't just an interpretation of the work, it is an integral concept of Tolkien's mythos. That evil is never admirable, and always mad ghey.
Which is why I said "in some of the later (and cosmologically accurate) versions of the Silmarillion". The Published Silmarillion is actually based on earlier but more complete versions.
Nor did I imply that Melkor isn't a coward. He is. However, in his prime, he is still the greatest at combat as evident by him single handily battling all the Valar by his lonesome.
Edit: BTW, I'm not saying this is the "canon" version of the creation of the moon; Tolkien himself deliberately rejected it. I simply brought it up to show what level Tolkien intended that Prime Melkor operated at.
