Why can't Wolverine beat Sabertooth pre adamantuim?

It is noted in the Movie and Video games that before the weapon x project, wolverine couldn't beat sabertooth. Why? Is Saber that much physically stronger? Is his healing powers stronger?

The difference in Wolverines and Sabertooths powers are negligible. Both have superhuman healing, although one would say Logan's was better as he was originally chosen for Weapon X. Both have heightened hearing, smell, ect. 

But pre-Weapon X, it comes down to pure fighting skill. Victor Creed is 275lbs at 6'6. Wolverine is 195 at 5'3. That size difference is almost impossible to recover from, and was most likely the determining factor in wolverines losses.
