Agreed. Going by feats Shazam is massively stronger and faster.
On a side note when Dr. Sivana makes Shazam bleed, he tells him no man made weapons could make him bleed, only magic. Not relevant here of course, but will be interesting to see if they stick with that rule in a sequel.

Yeah. If Cap gets Thor's strength and durability then he should at least be able to take a bunch of Shazam's hits while he uses his far superior skill to find a way around Shazam's speed advantage.
But if he doesn't have enhanced strength and durability, it will only take one good shot from Shazam to take him out. And as much as a noob Shazam is, his greater speed almost guarantees that he'd land a hit sooner or later.

Yes sir, this right here. Shazam is way too fast and way too strong if this is just Cap with super soldier stats and Mjolnir. As massive a boost Cap got from First Avenger to Endgame, he won't stop Billy from knocking him out with a couple of superspeed punches to the dome. If he is Thor-level though with Mjolnir, Shazam still has a shot, but once Steve grows accustomed to his durability taking Shazam's hits and combos together some Mjolnir hits, Billy goes down eventually.
