Sabretooth has no feats that put him above Cap, other than his healing. And a straight hit to the face, once Logan got adamantium, was enough to KO him. And how would his "skills" make him more so? What has he done to suggest he is more skillful than either Cap or Bucky?

Wolverine Weapon X and was holding his own. Somebody that again, is more powerful than either Cap or Bucky. . His array of abilities makes him vastly more formidable. He's also more skilled than Cap or Bucky and a better Regen.
He was totally outclassed and getting his ass kicked. He was just about to lose his head when Creed interfered. Let's not pretend like Logan had a snowball's chance in hell of beating Weapon X on his own.

Wolverine went head on with the S.S. who I'd say is likely stronger than either Cap or Bucky. Not as fast obviously but thanks to his Adamantium he's more durable. Plus he had a weapon that could cut Adamantium.. Something Steve could only dream of doing.
Again, Wolverine was losing and even getting his regen drained when someone interfered and stuck a blade (think it was still one of Logan's lopped off claws) in S.S.'s head. So again, another fight Logan was losing before someone interfered.

He's battled Sentinels before, who again, are more formidable than either Cap or Bucky and he's beaten them. They can also get VASTLY stronger than Cap or Bucky and are more durable. They are just plain better overall in formidability.
The past Sentinels? More formidable than Cap or Bucky? Based on what exactly? Firing a minigun into a crowd of innocent people? Cap's easily taken out a faster, more agile flying thing, with a mounted minigun before too. And Logan is never shown battling future Sentinels (first fight he isn't even there, second one he is unconscious on a table), so we have no idea how he'd perform against them. Also, during the encounter in the past, Beast ended up taking over fighting the one sentinel while Logan went after Magneto, and in the Danger Room training he needed Colossus' assistance with the toss to decap the fake one.

he also fought another formidable foe with adamantium in Origins. It was his female counterpart.. claws.. adamantium... very skilled and thus formidable. He beat her as well.
He was outclassed and getting his ass kicked again throughout that entire fight, and needed to inject her with liquid adamantium to win. Which is not a factor in this match.

Point is, Wolverine has a long and decorated history of beating people far more formidable than Cap or Bucky. Which is the point I was making.
The only being on this list Logan beat purely by his own combat abilities was Sabretooth, and that was after he got adamantium. All the others he had help or exploited something in the environment.
Don't get me wrong. Wolverine is tough and will make Cap work for it. But the fact remains that Cap with his shield should have enough strength to knock Logan out. And he is also faster, more agile, and displays more skill. That being said, Steve would need to go for the quick KO. If this match drags on and Logan starts scoring hits, it's going to tip decidedly in his favour.
