This. There is no way in HELL that femshep won't be fighting Vega. She'll beat the tar out of him, too. You remember what happened with a certain Yahg who got to big for his britches.

Bah, I hope she doesn't beat him up! I know she's enhanced, but I think it would actually be better to see Shep (
female AND male) to not be the best at something, for once. I say give the edge to Vega in this instance - if only a little. Making Shep a Mary Sue is a baaad idea, imo.
And while Shep's brave enough to take on the SB and get a few good hits, s/he never really beats him down or even ends up in a sustained boxing match with him, let alone even coming close to knocking him out. Shep makes him stagger a couple times, whilst wearing powered armor, in between bouts of shooting at him... but the SB shrugs Shep off pretty easily.
However... I think an enhanced Shep might be on par with the heavily muscled Vega, and therefore a sustained fight with him might not be implausable, but I think it would be better for the story to make it so that it gives a glimpse of Shep's physical limit and that others or sometimes better in certain areas.
