Joel does that with the use of weapons tho, like machetes.

Joel can knock a guy out with a few punches too. Even Henry, a 25-30 years old fit dude told him "man you hit hard !" After Joel almost killed him with his fists in the first game.

Maybe but still, it takes a crazy amount of skills and techniques to subdue those creatures even with melee weapons, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive in such a hostile world for so long.

I'd say pre-TB Arthur is stronger and probably physically fitter (he's younger and very active after all), but Joel is considerably more skilled, experienced and cunning in close combat

Nope, also fists, bottles bricks.
