You do realize that any wound sustained to Logan from someone in her strength class with a bladed object will damage him enough to make it so he's practically out of the fight (whether he'll heal again or not). Having a healing factor doesn't mean Logan can straight up no sell attacks, especially not from someone with Class 100 + strength.
did she defeat Beowulf in that sword fight? was it a stalemate? was it one sided in Beowulf's favor? without specific outcomes & context this is too vague and general to grant any validity to WW being anywhere near logan's level. I'm not even slightly impressed with the Claw the unconquered reference. Next.
and I only have one other thread with logan against WW. get over it.
not zero feats...but a handful is pretty close to zero. to wound logan she will have to strike his flesh; that would be dependent upon being a better swordsman, which she is not. even if she strikes a mortal blow, he would continue to heal while any wound she sustained would not. she would eventually fall due to sustained damage. basically, she may win scenario 1. she loses scenario 2.

she was winning but didn't win; and she did "fine" against claw. why don't those two feats impress me when stacked against decades of logan's feats with a sword?
X-23 could beat the original donna troy WG imho btw.
As well as generally shown to have the martial arts skills to fight top-tiers with pretty much any weapon and hold her own. Unarmed, staff, spear, whatever.
Nope. With her strength, Logan'll be thrown around by her blows, hard. She doesn't need to outfight him with the strength advantage. A nice hit to his ribcage won't do anything mortal thanks to his skeleton, but he'll sure as heck feel the shock and be knocked down.
Don't forget he holds the way to end the fight quickly- once a class 100 strike knocks the sword from his hand, she can use it too.
Because you're oddly focused on the weird idea that Logan stands a chance against her?
If you hold the advantage against two legendary figures, the fact that you don't have the quantity of feats doesn't change that the feats she does have portray her as someone very much able to match swords against Logan.
WW is the most skilled combatant on DC Earth. She and the Amazonians train forever in all forms of combat, including a multitude of weapons. I see know reason why she would not be on Logan's skill level.
Shaving electrons off an atom is ridiculous. There's no logical reason why a sword that could do that wouldn't cut right through adamantium, seeing as how it's composed of atoms itself.

In terms of the various art of war, tactics, multiple weapon disciplines, and her style of hand to hand fighting and using her powers/gear effectively, it stands to reason labeling her the world's best combatant on DC Earth is pretty accurate.
As far as Current Diana goes, I'd say she's lower end class 100 instead of middle tier like Classic.
In a completely depowered setting, I'd take Cassandra Cain over Diana.
Doesn't really change the fact that WW is one of the most skilled fighters in DCU, though. Not Bronze Tiger/Karate Kid level, but still among the best, IMO.
EDIT: Since Cogito and Jake made more nuanced arguments, completely disregard this post.
I not saying WW does not win, but people are very much sadly mistaken if they think WW is a match for Wolverine in swordmenship skill. He is with out a doubt the superior swordsmen.
