Even the Golden Wheel Monk, who had sufficient power to defeat her, made the tactical error of trying to compete speed (her forte, not his) with her rather than fighting from his own strength, which just might have enabled him to win. I don't see Gwok Jing, Chow Bak Tung, Wong Yerk See, or 1 Deng making that same mistake.
But we'll never know; Jin Yong avoided having them fight, both because it wasn't necessary for the plot, and possibly because he would be able to avoid answering that question.
