And if Ra's wasn't immortal he'd be in a retirement home suffering from senility and a bad hip. They both need their abilities so what's your point?
I am not vicious against Cap. I was trying to state that the disparity between skill is massive so Cap needs the boost of his stats to fight this guy. Remember at the beggining of WS. Cap fought that guy on the boat and had some trouble. Ra's would give Cap the arrow treatment if Cap wasn't super human. But since Cap is super human it could go either way
Loki isn't a super crazy martial artist and Cap threw like 2 punches before it was interrupted by iron man. Sw is impressive but he hasn't trashed a well established martial artist like Ra's did. And Cap had trouble taking the guys in the elevator. He simply isn't as skilled as Ra's. Not even close. But he has the physical stats to close the gap
Every time you bring up Cap's stats. I'm gonna bring up the fact that Ra's is 78 years old and is according to a direct interview functionally immortal. If not for his immortality he'd be in a nursing home.
Also Bucky at the time Cap fought him was pretty much one of if not the top assassin in the world. And shown by their fight, they're both pretty damned skilled and capable of moving at speeds faster than Ra's and Ollie. Hitting harder, etc...
Even against Batroc like SM pointed out, as soon as he realized he wasn't a pushover and got serious, he ended the fight instantly.
So let's not act like he fought a featless wonder.

King. The fact that he is 78 doesn't matter because he is in a much younger body. Unless he is going to age 20 years in the span of a fist fight then his actual age shouldn't matter. He could be 1000 years old but as long as he isn't in the body of a 1000/year old it has no bearing on the fight
You guys keep saying, "If Cap didn't have the SSS, he wouldn't even last in this fight." Over and over.
I'm pointing out how "If Ra's wasn't immortal(as it directly stated by his actor Matt Nable), he'd be a 78 year old man in a 78 year old man's body. (78 is the youngest possible age. He could actually be older)
You see what I'm getting at?
It doesn't matter because that's what their characters are. Cap is Cap because of the Serum. Ra's is Ra's because his immortality let him gain all those skills. But the Ra's side keeps bringing up how Cap can only hang because of the serum, so I'm gonna keep bringing up how Ra's can only hang because he's immortal.
Cap still wins by the way. Highly skilled and physical stats far beyond Ra's make it Cap's fight to lose.

Caps ability to fight is completely dependent on his SSS.
Your comparison kind of falls flat because of that.
That said, I agree. Why are people bringing up cap pre-SSS?

It factors into his ability to fight. A 78 year old man or older in an appropriately aged body will not be in anything near fighting shape. He'll be lucky to be able to walk normal speed at that age.
