you're going to have to explain how that's impressive. Blade has staked dracula and wolverine with ease, beaten on a vampire that was overpowering spider-man, beaten a demon lord, casually walked off getting eviscerated, and stomped on deadpool.
Dredd's got high-end combat feats coming out of his ears. He's beaten the literal biblical Satan in one-on-one combat on two separate occasions; killed at least two planetary-level sorcerers/reality warpers; marched into a hell dimension, killed all of the higher demons (who were described as being the psionic templates for all sin on Earth) and forced the whole dimension into a unconditional surrender etc etc.
Of more relevance to this kind of fight is how the two tend to compare against A-list street level types. Dredd's got an exemplary record on that front, including of course the well-known Batman fight (which, for the record, I don't consider to be Dredd's best h2h showing). As I said earlier, there are some showings for Blade I've seen where his stats are played up that I think are a bit beyond Dredd (the Deadpool one springs to mind). But is Blade - on average - portrayed as a guy who would equal the goddamn Batman in straight h2h? I'm not so sure.
Cheers.

Recently dredd beat a predator with his bare fists in a H2H fight. i think that scene at least put him as enhanced level of strength. enhanced as in above peak human. somewhere around the levels of wolverine and captain america.
I don't think any one high-end showing can be considered as elevating a character like that. Dredd is very explicitly not superhuman or enhanced in any way (apart from his eyes which are bionic). He's about as strong as an unenhanced comic human gets, and like all guys in that sort of ballpark (Batman, Daredevil etc) he has feats which would by any real world measure be blatantly superhuman.
At a basic, conceptual level however - and, equally importantly, in terms of average performance levels - he's definitely not as strong as Cap or Wolverine IMHO. He could give either a hell of a fight mind you.
Cheers.

it isn't as cut and dry as that. Dredd was bloodlusted and pissed off that the predator killed one of his fellow judges. He didn't even know that it was a mercy kill. The predator knew that they were on the same side but dredd didn't.
when people fight they are usually pissed. secondly we can see the predator fighting back which means he wasnt just standing and recieving the beating its not in their character and not in the scan.
