Well, it's more the level of ease. If Cap can beat Spidey via XP, Bucky, who is possibly even more experienced than Cap (seeing as he was doing Hydra missions for decades, and helping train the other Hydra Super Soldiers, while Cap was frozen), and having similar overall stats, should have at least given him some problems.

Honestly I have no issue with Cap putting up a fight in a tight environment. The tighter the environment the more of a threat Cap's combat abilities and Shield becomes. Important thing was they still showed IM > Cap.What was more PIS was at the airport scene when both IM and WM decide to go toe to toe against Cap. I get that they were trying to restrain him, but surely they must have stun blasts or other forms of long range weapons designed to KO.
Well, I meant more in the literal sense that his suit was less formidable. The Mark 3 took a tank shell, crash landing, impact with a jet, Vulcan cannon fire etc. without any real harm. And got smashed through walls, run over, hit with rockets, crushed by Iron Monger (who is WAY stronger than Cap), and still fought on, even though he only had like 20% power at the start of the fight. Or, in Age of Ultron, his suit had enough thrust that it could help support one of the helicarrier lifeboats, but Cap could halt him mid flight using only one arm in CW. And then cripple his flight with two shield bashes to the boot, when his Avengers 1 armour was still capable of flight after getting stuck in the helicarrier turbines. Literally the only armours that have performed worse were his untested IM3 armours, which he built while suffering from insomnia and PTSD.
IMO, if he had worn his CW suit during his Avengers fight against Thor, he would have died.
