Fiction vs Non fiction

If we were to put up a non fictional character, such as Floyd Mayweather, up against a fictional character, such as Ethan hunt in a fight, Floyd Mayweather would win because he's actually real and Ethan hunt isn't, and that the actor playing as Ethan Hunt would get beaten by Floyd. Does that make sense? Personally, I don't think so.

This seems like a dumb question but I'm curious, and I can't seem to find anyone else talking about this. This seems like a really common argument.
 
Asking the right questions bruh.

I Mean like why are humans beneath their fictional creations. It don't make sense
 
On this site Verse Equalization dictates Floyd being a real-life person doesn't mean anything and they can fight each other.

The version of Floyd Mayweather that were to be put into a theoretical battle would be considered a character with equivalent tiering to what he can do in our universe. Thus, a human level character. Not be treated like a real world person with qualitative existential superiority to any fictional work.
