@DonaldDuck:

round 1) Strength contest

Equal, although others at the time were less strong and have received upgrades whereas he has not.

round 2) Endurance contest

Better now.

round 3) Speed contest

Equal.

round 4) Awareness contest

Better then due to spider sense (although there were times when he ignored his spider sense)

round 5) Intelligence

Far better now. Not even close. Current Parker is a top mind in Marvel.

round 6) Fighting ability

Far better now due to formal training and experience. Classic Parker struggled in H2H against Kingpin and such. Current Parker manhandles people.

round 7) Tactical and Strategical prowess

Better now due to his enhanced intellect and scientific acumen. Easily takes down foes like Hydroman he has struggled against in the past.

round 8) Focusing mentality

Well, he doesn't spend his time moping over girl troubles like classic Parker did, but when it really matters I'd say about the same.

Isn't classic Spiderman 1962-2000 right after the Ben/Peter crisis was over, the writers had to rewrite a retcon of the character. So technically, the classic Parker is older and more experience and the new Peter is not even 5 years old due to him being retconned multiple times during the time span of 2000 up until this day. I would say Classic from the 1970's to mid 1990's could out wit and out power the current Spiderman. People now are saying current Spiderman is more intelligent than the older more experience Spiderman when the old Spiderman was actually one of Reed Richard's  rivals during the time of the 60's up until the 90's? One thing is for certain, that back in the old days, Spiderman was actually far more intelligent than Tony Stark. Classic Parker was in between leagues of Reed and Doom ingenuity. Doom & Reed both acknowledged this. I will find the scans to prove this.

I've read the first 220 or so issues of Amazing Spider-man and the most recent 100 or so (still reading the in between, newer to comics) but the classic Parker I am familiar with was an intelligent kid who pretty much always went to Curt Connors whenever there was advanced science to be done.

Classic imo. Especially if we're talking current Spidey, sans spider sense.

Classic Spiderman could easily pick up tanks. Tanks hits and absorb them easier. His webs have the strength and elastictivity to dead stop sky scrapers (high rising buildings) from falling (100,000s of tons). Classic Spider-Man had the strength & durability to once support a column of a collapsing building and this building was similar in size the World Trade Center buildings (300,000 tons). Since Classic Spider-Man's webs can support over 100,000 tons, his webs can hold down 100 toners for some period. Thing, Hulk, Thor etc. Reason Venom, Carnage and Back Tarantula are due to CIS. Venom and Carnage has a familiarity in their anatomy that desolves Spiderman's webs. Black Taratuala has some mystic 700 year inheritance of spider arachnid that also allows him to easily rip through Spiderman's web so posting up Spiderman vs Venom or Black Tarachuala is pretty much a moot counter argument. People saying current Spiderman is smarter than Classic. Does Current Spiderman rival Reed Richards or Dr. Doom?
 
Classic Spiderman wins.

This would be a better answered after Spider-Island ends. And if "classic" Spider-man was better defined. Current Spider-Man received traing from Shang-Chi. But he would also fall off building while swinging due to spider-sense loss.

Spider-Island showed Peter Parker manhandling all other spiders when he applies his training.

With this I'd go with current Spider-Man. He loses round 4, but compensates in round 6, barely.

If anything, current Spiderman might have better focusing mentality than 90's Classic Spiderman. 90's classic Spiderman was really tripping balls.
