Arrow gets slaughtered. Either Silvia or Tyson have the potential one shot him, considering a lot of their fights end in kos. Both Ali and Silvia are incredibly fast in their prime; the only way Arrow is tagging them is with kicks. Mike Tyson is just straight up out of Oliver's weight class.
@thehunter: Who did Meryln fodderize? Did any of them hit Oliver in the head? Were they holding back?
From what I've seen of Arrow, he's very unimpressive in h2h. Prove me wrong, I'd love to see some feats for Arrow, but the clips that I've personally watch generally show Arrow fighting with weapons.
Oliver's striking power is underwhelming. He only seems to kick when he has objects to jump off of. I've never seen him win a close quarters fight without a weapon of some sort.
Proof? Ok. Taking on peak human guys like Bronze Tiger, Malcom Merlyn, Guillermo Barrera aka Brutale, the members of the League of Assassin's and the expy for Onomatopoeia, Mr. Blank. He also has bested superhuman's like Grundy and Flash.
Oh and taking on multiple guys of various levels of skill at a time, some of them armed and generally coming out of it with no to cosmetic injury.

He takes them on, but he almost never wins against them in an h2h fight alone. He does not eat these guys for lunch and dominate. More like, he eats their fists every time he meets them.
@llehdevil: These guys would also eat the foes in the thread for lunch. Merlyn would likely solo them all as would have Mr. Blank and Grundy. Flash too if he wasn't jobbing. Tiger could probably take one right after the other and win.
Peak humans in Arrow>>>>>>>>>real life peak human athletes.
@risingbean: Although I agree to a degree with what you said, it does not necessarily mean Ollie can take all on all of these peak human athletes by himself, so that ABC logic shouldn't apply here. And anyways, I also don't believe Ollie's reached his peak level in the show either.
@llehdevil: When these athletes can beat up multiple foes at the same time, then I'll consider them more peak then Ollie. Olli ehas taken out better and he's taken on more. Hell he isn't even an archer so much as a martial artist with a proclivity to shoot a bow in between maneuvers.
