Strength has nothing to do with a sword and shield fight. To add cap lacks the sword and usually tosses his shield at the first sign of trouble.
Now who's lowballing? Once Cap got serious he put Batroc down in moments.
And Achilles didn't even really fight the champion. He took advantage of his speed, got a critical hit, and he died. He didn't even move.
Strength has a lot to do with a sword and shield fight, especially when the strongest guy is also highly skilled and fast as hell.
And we all know Cap would never toss his shield if he was going up against 2 guys with swords.
