Well, even with Wendy and Lucy, the group had a difficult time against Jackal. He could take down Natsu, the only way they could have won against him is that Jackal was cocky and assumed Natsu was dead and that did one of his sadistic games which gave Wendy enough time to heal Natsu. I don't doubt his strength, just his personality.
