Neither Seven Shackles nor Daredevil, said that Iron Fist would win. They inquired about the relevancy of the early Creed vs Iron Fist fights, where Creed had no powers and Iron Fist beat him. Buster was wondering if Danny's bullet training punching feat was the norm, and it was explained to him that it wasn't and Danny was amping himself from an outside source at the time. Starscream flip flopped.

Buster flat out said he wins.........wtf is wrong with you!!!! Screw you I done with you for real this time. Maybe later you can join the Weapon X program.
That's how things work. Subsequent character development contradict those early appearances, so we know they couldn't have transpired as they were originally depicted. We don't just assume that Sabretooth was retroactively operating at his standard levels just so you can have a leg to stand on.

After he asked about what level Iron Fist operated at, meaning his endorsement was conditional on whether or not his impression of Iron Fist's power level was right... which it wasn't. Reading comprehension. Google it, fan boy.

Really, that's how things work? Something wasn't fully fleshed out at the time so we completely ignore it?
Good to know.
I'd say something about retcons... but it wasn't even that, it was just them explaining his powers later... even if, that's not how retcons work either. Unless they retcon the actual fight away
Marvel Comics Presents. Sabretooth toyed with Danny, beating him down pretty effortlessly until he was punched into a dues ex machina electrical box which overloaded, exploded and collapsed a tunnel on top of him.

To be fair I wasn't "serious" when I said IF wins here, normally I take you and BH seriously because you've read Logan books, which is more than we can say about most people discussing here
Is this case I disagree when you say feats are retroactively affected by later developments. Korvac one-shotted the Collector back when he was presented as an old guy with tech, later on we learned he had powers that dwarfed those of herald level heroes, but that only made Korvac's showing incredibly impressive. Unless stated otherwise by a retcon, past showings aren't altered by new developments.
They didn't "explain his powers later," they added powers later. Which is different. Sabretooth wasn't a mutant when he first appeared in Iron Fist, he was just a strong, fast brawler. It was almost 10 years after he fist appeared in Iron Fist that someone decided Creed should be a Wolverine villain and he was given enhanced stats and a healing factor. He wasn't an "under developed" character, he was essentially a completely different character.

Sounds like explained to me. They expanded on the character, they explained why he's strong and fast.
Also, lol at him being a completely different character... He went from a strong fast brawler to a strong fast brawler... with a healing factor and enhanced senses!
Judomaster didn't have an "aversion aura" when she first showed up in Birds of Prey. If someone beat her before she was given that power, then they retroactively are able to counter her power?

He went from a strong and fast (but not abnormally so) human smuggler, to a super humanly strong and fast mutant merc and assassin with a healing factor.

Oh right, I was thinking of the other time out of the three times that Iron Fist beat him...
He couldn't call upon the powers of the Fist and admitted that he was doing the worst fighting of his career...
I bet him turning from a 'smuggler' to a 'merc' and 'assassin' really upped his game and vastly affected his powers... the guy also was tossing around Luke Cage back then... what a weakling.
Looks like the only real difference was them explaining a healing factor. Which makes sense because he was able to survive a couple fights with Fist back then.
