But Sentry isn't exactly skilled in using his powers, and as I said in the post you quoted, was there not a time when Hal still had the weakness, but was able to somewhat deal with it in his classic incarnation?
He doesn't have to be skilled in his powers. Everything he does is yellow.
Of course he can fight the yellow... but then you have to factor in Sentry's durability, strength, etc. Sentry won't be hindered by anything, Hal basically has to fight two things for this battle.
Yea, but Sentry would not start off with energy attacks, and without the yellow hindrance Hal would beat him handedly. Add in Hal's proficiency with his ring and fighting in general, compared to Sentry's and I see a pretty even fight.
Hal during 'Emerald Twilight' was stomped on by Mongul. The yellow weakness was giving him an extraordinarily hard time in fighting him because of his yellow skin. He finally used Steel's hammer and a strength enhancing exoskeleton GL construct to beat Mongul.
It's not a curbstomp, since Hal has beaten tough foes who were yellow. But it certainly wouldn't be easy. Sentry has insane durability. All those WWH punches he took? Those punches one-shotted Ares, She-Hulk, Thing, crushed Invisible Woman's shields in 3 hits, nearly murdered Hercules in 3 hits and dented classic Juggernaut's armor. And Sentry didn't even try to roll with any of those punches!

Juggernaut's helmet has been crushed and destroyed before. Doesn't hurt Juggs in the slightest. Different writers have different takes on the helmet's durability. While I think it's BS, it's a far cry from hurting the Juggernaut.

of course, this doesnt speak of the fact that Hal was kicking the crap outta Mongul by channelling the energy thru his body, and only started to lose due to him being distracted with the knowledge that destruction of the various machinery would kill Superman fighting in the next chamber by releasing k-rock gas into it.
granted, he ended up resorting to making that exosuit & Steels hammer, but lets note that he KTFO'd Mongul with that single hit using it.
Sentry didnt try to role w/any of those punches becuz he was just there to slug it out; "rolling with it" isnt something that gets done in a slugfest.
and granted he has a high durability, but Im not convinced his durability is beyond Supermans, and I give Hal *good odds* at beating him (even w/o using k-rays).
