Honestly, I doubt Eto is just a bad fighter.

She grew up in the 24th Ward, cannibalizing other Ghouls. Only the strongest Ghouls survive down there, and she would have grown up fighting her own kind for survival. The Kakuja and incredible Kagune would have only developed over time, as she fought and killed other Ghouls.

So she had to have started out with a major base, but would have still required skill to survive. Remember what she did during the Kanou Lab arc, the precision and speed she demonstrated then. She moved so fast she looked like she was teleporting, and tore Banjou's ribs so fast that he didn't even have time to recognize what had happened until she pointed it out.

I don't buy that she is nothing but a bull in a china shop, relying on brute strength. She has been shown to be very, very intelligent and good at reading people. I find her actions suspicious, because she really didn't do anything but taunt him a bunch and chase him around. She doesn't take multiple chances to kill him, leaves herself completely open even after he proves capable of slicing her Kakuja, and makes no efforts to fight him in an effective fashion.

All evidence struggles she's faster than him, and a powerful Ukaku can overwhelm the best regeneration. But she makes no efforts to use either of these traits, just bulldozes around and then praises him when he tears her up. She's spent the entire series basically watching him, poking and prodding, and TESTING him.

Kaneki just passed the test, I think.
