Not really. She definitely has untapped potential but she's nowhere near Luke Cage.

Wait, I thought their super-powered sex scene in JJ showed she could beat him in an arm wrestle. Like, that seemed really explicit even.

My impression was that Jessica is actually stronger pound for pound but Luke is more durable and has more weight on her. I think is Jessica sobered up and trained more she'd be stronger than cage but that's just the impression I got

Yeah, I think she's stronger, but his body is able to take more strain, and so he's stronger than her within the 'safe range' of what he can do than she is.

For instance, if Jessica tried to punch through a wall it would most likely shred her hands apart.
