Beating Ned is not really an accomplishment. Ned was a mediocre swordmans at best. Ned’s true strength is his tactical prowess.

True. And other than that we have Rob Stark who claims he didn't think he could defeat Jaime. Another person who wasn't some awesome fighter lol.

His service in the King's Guard.
He was considered one of the best swordman in the realm. Due to this he was quicky made Kingsguard. In fact if am not wrong, Jaime was the youngest person to become a Kingsguard.
Becomig a Kingsguard requires ample training and knowledge. Jaime clearly was smart enough to quicky achieve the title of King's protector.
Jaime is clearly a smartass!
Gregor relies entirely on his strength. Jaime knows this and will know how to punish him.
Besides, Sandor was able to withstand and counter the Mountain. Jaime is faster and a better swordsman than Sandor.
Jaime wins.

So, nothing we actually saw him do on screen.
Gregor stomps rahter easily. He is a zombie. The Viper used posion, Jaime has nothing like this. Yes he is faster and skilled, he stalemated Ned in Season 1 but needed his man to interfer to get the "win". He will hit Gregor and if he is luck to find a spot in the armor he might even do some little damage but he will tier and he will get hit and all it needs is one hit for Gregor.
