Shadow is stronger than he looks but Knuckles is perhaps even more stronger than Shadow.

But being a "Speed Type" character, what Shadow lacks in strength he makes up for it in Speed. Think of it like that Meet the Scout video where Scout overcomes the big, burly Heavy with agility and trickery.

I imagine a fight between Shadow and Knuckles, the two will butt-heads at first and if Shadow realises Knuckles can over-come him directly in melee, he will switch to defence manuvers until Knuckles is confused or worn out.
