Sure I can agree with you on that but you could also say the same about GA you take away his bow and arrows and he's gonna be towards the bottom of the list of fighters who use martial arts/hand to hand combat as seen by him getting beat by Deathstroke, prometheus, Cheshire, hell even the electrocutioner when he didn't have his bow.
Which there is nothing wrong with that especially because hand to hand combat isn't his main style and I would say like i said earlier that he's still an amazing marksmen and for sure up there in the top ten but I think over all out of all the villains/heros in the DCU Floyd Lawton is still the greatest atlest for now (:
