Beasts agility and feet give Cap some trouble. While Cap tries to use real fighting style and tactics, Beast uses acrobats and both feet as well as hands.
Does Cap have his shield? And what's Beast' strength level these days?
Cap once defeated U.S. Agent - his onetime successor - who's in the 10-ton club, without his shield.

Yea because hes not as adept in h2h combat as Cap. Cap was always his superior there. U.S. Agent isnt even a better acrobat than Cap. Hes good, but not that good.
Why does everyone worship Cap America. I mean, sure he's a great character and all but some people (not saying you roughrider) seem to think it blasphemy to think of Cap losing.
And yet the people who do the same with Superman are looked down upon.
Beast is much faster, much stronger, much more agile, much more intelligent, has natural weaponry in his felinoid morphology and was an original X-Man so has ample experience.
Yet, everyone is convinced that Cap will win as long as he has his shield?
The shield makes the difference. Cap is ultimate at hand-to-hand, shield is indestructable and absorbs vibrations from hits. If Beast was in the Namor class, I would say Cap dodges and holds him off for awhile, but eventually gets it ripped from him and ultimately loses. If not danger room, maybe still different story, but there it is.

If Cap does use it defensively it will be kinda futile since Cap is likely not to land a single hit with Beast bouncing around the room like a rubber ball.
If anyone will find a vital spot it's gonna be Beast since he's faster, has faster reactions, and is much more intelligent.
If all he's doing is defending himself with the shield and he tries to get close enough to land any sort of blow, he has his shield holding arm snapped, his throat clawed open and half his skull bitten off. If he throws the shield, Beast catches it.
That would be funny: "In the matter per se which we are presently pursuing, it is incumbent upon my sets of wishes that I now, with speediness of forethought, plunge my incisors into your jugular and make a succulent repast of your grey matter, my dear Captain!"
Seriously, though - who has the Beast ever beaten one-on-one, without his fellow mutants backing him up?
He's really not. He can lift 2 tons. That was just a misinterpretation of the marvel ratings system which started lead to a misconception on this forum. Beast is in the class 4 rating which encompasses 800lbs to 25 tons. Beast lifts 2.
