It's in the comic, I can't argue that. But that is just insane. Don't get me wrong, I love Cap. But he just can't hang with Spidey. Iron Spidey, Normal Spidey, Naked Spidey. They all win relatively easy. Even with someone as skilled as Cap.
First of all, it was once. Secondly, it shouldn't have happened. Look at the facts: Spidey's speed/reaction time is so far above Cap's that Mr. America should be like a slug to Peter.
of course there was one occasion where an angry spiderman went after captain america cause he thought he wasn't getting due respect and cap respected him with a punch that sent him airborne and knocked him on his ass...
in civil war issue 3 spiderman goes after cap again! and cap is winning the fight before iron man interjects...
and then here.. where spiderman admits that up close cap has his number.. and they said that batman couldn't take him in a strict hand to hand.. pfffft.

Exactly. This is three times that Captain America has managed to not only TAG spider man, but prove to be his superior in close quarters combat.
What can we infer? That cap can, at the VERY least, hang with Spider-man. There is NO way, based on these three showings, that Spider-man wins ten, nine, or even eight times out of ten.
EDIT: Oh, and let me apologize about the "twice" thing. It was my mistake, I was merely confusing the punch that Spider-man manged to block with one that connected. Regardless of this fact, as both Jinzin and I have mentioned, Cap and Spiderman have tangled three times, and Cap has came out on top each and every time.

Normal Spidey, Capt gets 1 win, There is no answer against spidermans webbing. H2H doesnt matter, Spiderman isnt the grestest H2H combatant and he knows it, so why would he fight someone up close who he knows is better then him, come on, we all know spiderman is smarter then that.
Against Iron Spidey, man cap gets lucky to pull of 1/2 a win, now he has to deal with his webbing, 3 stringers, 2 arms, and two legs, plus peters massive speed agility and strength advantage.
whao. who said "cap wins" I'm just pointin shit out here.. stop jumping the gun.

Cap has shown a little more then peak human durability to be honest. His chainmail suit helps him slighty also, but it wont matter even still.
I say he could take 2, maybe 3 or spideys full strength punches at the most.
But I hold my point I keep eairler, spiderman webs him up, there is no way for capt to break free, then he spins him around into say, a pole, a dumbster, a car, through a store window, through a building, into the street, swings around town, then drops him from a 70 story building in downtown New York.
you mean like when he fights hyde? no you must mean when he fights namor? no i got it! when he's fighting the wrecking crew?!?! no that can't be it... no how about when he fights scorpion? hmmmm wait... you mean like when he fights cosmic cube induced red skull right? wait..... okay.... what DO you mean?
what happens when he gets hit with a 15 ton punch? probably the same thing that always happens.. he rolls with it... or uses it to expose his enemy to an attack.. or spiderman holds it back so it doesn't matter anyway.
cap does have some degree of superhuman durability though. I mean hell the guy's head as been used as a wrecking ball to drop an apartment building on his noggin.
