Not necessarily. Fingolfin wounded a bit, but was no match at all for, a High 7-A (we think) being like Morgoth (pure physical ability), which would only require him to be "At Least 7-A." Feanor fought a large group of Balrogs (all 7-A, again we THINK) including most significantly their leader, Gothmog. He did so single-handedly, for a LONG period of time (implied to be many minutes if not something like an hour). This makes people strongly believe (rightly so) that if it was one-on-one, he could have beaten an opponent like Gothmog, which would place Feanor at High 7-A.
Of course, as many have pointed out, any actual "feats" in LOTR and the Silmarillion are for the most part very, very vague, so all of this is very difficult to determine with certainty.
"I remember somewhere in the LotR about every star being it's own galaxy or something similar, i'll have to recheck it. We know that there are at least 2 universes in LotR: The Prime and Behind the Doors of Night. We can safely assume that Eru or Melkor created the parallel dimension behind the Doors of Night."---I do not remember ANYTHING along these lines, and I have read LOTR, the Silmarillion, and the History of Middle Earth each at least three times. Also, there is no actual matter or energy behind the Doors of Night; it is just a vast empty void. Melkor never creates anything there, either, as the nature of it being a void renders him powerless (although there's a prophecy that he will somehow manage to eventually regain his power there and break through the Gates).
If you look at maps of the overall universe of Ea as diagrammed by Tolkien, the parts containing actual physical matter are very small and close-by the planet of Arda, itself. The stars are suspended in the region of "Ilmen," or "upper air," rather than in a true vacuum much further from the planet, and appear to actually be quite small. If folks want I could go hunt down again the link for such maps.
