Conversations like these are always so strange to me because fights in TG usually cover the full range of tactics and don't rely on brute strength.

Unless Arima turns out to be a half ghoul or something Kaneki has always been "stronger". Ghouls are inherently stonger than humans unless they're in that rare percentage like the Kuroiwa family. Arima's battle tactics rely on speed, efficiently, and flexibility. Kaneki's is a mix of brute strength, on the fly strategizing, enemy reading. Since he's more experienced, Arima is probably more skilled, but Kaneki has incredible observational skills and adaptability. Kaneki currently has the upper hand because he got it the same way he always has with opponents that are either stronger or more skillful: because he's intelligent. Generally speaking, winning a fight with someone doesn't necessarily make one stonger than that person, it very much depends on the circumstances. And I really, really wish that "strength" would stop being used synonymously with "skill"...
