It is. General Grievous is literally miles ahead of HK-47 in pretty much all combat-related aspects. The general has speed and agility that is comparable [actually, it is superior] to that of most Jedi Knights and Masters, not to mention the disparity in their physical strength and performance. Grievous is specifically trained in the standard forms of lightsaber combat -- compliments of the legendary Count Dooku -- and the tactical analysis computers present in his mind allow him to analyze and partially mimic Vaapad, the greatest of the seven lightsaber forms that is known for its wild unpredictability. And, finally, Grievous was capable of amping up the speed of his attacks to twenty strikes per second, which may very well be faster than shots HK-47 can think to make from any blaster he is armed with (I'm not an expert on SW technology).
This is besides the fact that Grievous is a tactical genius and his armor (save for the joints) is resistant to lightsabers and blaster bolts.

ummm.... the HK is just a stupid assassin droid, programmed with a target...
Grievious would just parry all HK's shot until he got close enough to slice him in half with his lightsabers...

A self-sentient killing machine, HK-47 was far more than an ordinary combat droid. Created four thousand years ago, he came equipped with a devastating arsenal of high-powered weaponry, a ruthless and single-minded pursuit of his termination targets, and a pre-programmed disregard for all organic life. This Hunter-Killer model is one of the most dangerous assassins in the galaxy.
Judging from this canon information, I don't think that HK-47 was such an easy thing to deal with as some people here would like to think.
@ Shin_Nikkolas
HK-47 was kept armed with devastating weaponry.
@ OMG-Toothpaste
HK-47 was one of the deadliest assassin droids in the history of the SW Universe. It was not a stupid assassin droid as you claim.
Also read this information:
Units such as these were quite capable of laying waste to an entire building in an effort to dispose of a single target. This wanton carnage, combined with the tendency of the droid's previous owners to come to rather gruesome ends, has led most civilized planets to issue explicit bans on all HK-model assassin droids.
Grievous wins. HK-47 killed many jedi but Grievous is much better than the average jedi. He has 4 sabers to deflect blaster bolts and enhanced reflexes. He defeats HK-47 fairly easily.
Please tell me legend you aren't suggesting that HK-47 can beat Grievous. The droid is deadly no one is arguing that but Grievious can just run over him all the same.
