That was true for Kuno too. In one of the first subplots Ranma pointed out that he was holding back every time he "challenged" her.
Akane lost fights to more talented girls like Shampoo all the time, although she never got beaten down like the guys.
anybody who has actually read the manga or even watched the anime knows that one of the central plot points is that Akane isn't actually that good, and is probably the weakest of the main cast. It's an important plot point because her father wants a strong martial artists to inherit the school, thus the arranged marriage. She spends the whole show looking to improve enough to overcome Ranma and others but is never really able to.
Wanna make a bet in a remake she will be the god-queen of martial arts?
