I can see how the comparison of Sonic vs Knuckles being roughly even works out for this hypthetical brawl between Shadow and Knuckles, but again personality wise shadow is nothing like Sonic. Shadow is much more serious than Sonic, plus Shadow relies on abilities that can trump Knuckles basic abilities such as gliding.

Shadow will not take the fight lightly like Sonic would and if Knuckles glide ability does proove a hassle to Shadoe, Chaos Control will allow Shadow to defy gravity as well as time, as well as Shadow having ranged Chaos powers like Chaos Sphere and Chaos Blast.

Knuckles can still perhaps use the environment to his advantage such as digging or weaponizing the battle field but again Shadow has speed and energy projectiles to help him.

If a stroct no-Chaos rule in the fight then yeah, Shadow would be hindered. But his speed, stradegy and determination is still perhaps more refined than Knuckles.
