Here goes something...

I gotta give this to Corvo. Not only is he smarter, but he's a better tactician. He'll be able to sneak around and find the Dragonborn's weak spot, as well as best the Dovahkiin up close. His assassin's sword is fast and designed for very close ranged combat. Dovahkiin's hammer and sword are designed for medium ranged combat. He needs space to wield them. If Corvo can get up close with blink, he'll be able to end the fight easily. His spells are also very effective in combat, devouring swarm for example, can kill Dovahkiin before the great hero of Skyrim can even reach or see Corvo. He's an assassin, he'll kill Dovahkiin without the brute even noticing he's there.
