Deadpool's feats are really inconsistent. From my reading of Deadpool Classic 1-9, he can defeat characters who are vastly superior to him like Taskmaster, but he's a terrible hitman. In fact, he botches most of his assassination attempts against normal human beings.
Take into account that he plans these assassinations and he routinely fails them, so I honestly don't see how he even finds work, and that also says a lot about his tactics or lack thereof.
It doesn't make sense to me that Deadpool can defeat Taskmaster without any prep, but with prep, he has difficulty assassinating normal human beings. Because of this, the fact that he's defeated Sabretooth or Juggernaut means nothing.
Furthermore, you have to take into consideration that a lot of Deadpool's humor is derived from the fact that he's a loser both on and off the battlefield. In other words, the reason he's a terrible hitman is because the writer wants to make you laugh.
On the other hand, Punisher excels at killing people, and his tactics are a lot more effective. No one said that this was a fight to the death - all Punisher has to do is win. If Punisher has prep, there's no doubt in my mind that he'll get the victory.
Also, can we please stop comparing Deadpool to Deathstroke? It's an insult to Deathstroke.
