Only he's not Cap equal, Cap is a step above, and decidedly so at that. That was the logic being used being used in this thread, and it falls very short. He's not equal to Cap, and that has been conclusively shown time and time again. This is what we are left with:
Ozy is faster
Ozy is more skilled
Ozy has better reactions
Ozy has comparable striking power
Those are the reason this is a fight, and further, the feats in question show that it is. In fact, it's Ozy's to lose. Let's examine further.
BP was able to visibly affect WS and Cap, but mostly WS. This is important because it shows somebody who isn't on SS can hurt him, and in some cases send him flying. We don't know the specifics of BP (could be a result of the heart like in comics), however at this point nothing has been said. It seems they are portraying him as just being a super highly skilled guy. If that's the case, well Ozy is the pinnacle of human training. That is his whole deal. Through training he's become Super Human in many ways based on feats. Well then, he can certainly fight with Bucky, since we know Bucky hasn't blown through mere humans. BP got the better of most of their fights. Well, Hawkeye had a good showing one v one with BP in h2h only.
The above further illustrates that humans, especially skiled ones can compete with WS and BP types. Well, Ozy is above people like Widow or Haweye. I doubt they'd even land a single blow on him, and he'd be doing a monologue in the process of beating them. It's a non fight. Ozy didn't have a single blow landed on him by the most skilled people of that verse. They were highly skilled guys with beyond human stats in some areas. Ozy didn't have a blow landed on him by peak human skill types (BW, Hawkeye), not a blow landed on him. He casually and without effort dealt with them. He's probably two levels above Bucky in skill, who knows maybe more. Point is, Ozy is the more skilled guy, and has the better track record against solidly skilled human types, and easily so.
He's faster than Bucky, so not only is he more skilled, decidedly faster than Bucky. See the bullet catching feat and knife catch. Notice RO and Niteowl against tough guy types. They were markedly faster than him, and were sending them flying all over. They weren't touched. Then imagine those same guys never even being to landed blows, even two v one, even when he has his back turned talking. All of the above illustrates Ozy superior speed, and it's frankly not all that close.
Lastly, we have striking power. Notice how he's sending guys flying with his blows. Sometimes 10 feet, sometimes 20 feet. He's easily picking up grown men and sending them flying 15 casually. His blows woiuld certainly have an affect on WS, and being more skilled, he'll land them. But added to all that is his intelligence. He's exponentially smarter than Bucky in every way. He's the smartest guy on the planet. You don't think he'd immediately come up with a plan to deal with Bucky from the jump? Your kidding yourself. That is exactly what he'd do
