Well who knows... Eren is a really strong hand to hand combatant too. When he faced Annie he didn;t actually know to control his titan form as good as Annie did. His experience has grown however and this was shown when he faced Reiner, who might as well be more of a threat than Annie, because of his enchanced skin. But anyway, Annie is really strong too and no one can doubt that fact. What i can't forget though, is that Eren had the second best hand to hand combat score in his training corpses, only down to Mikasa. It is said in the 3rd chapter actually by Reiner. Which means that either Reiner was wrong or Eren is in fact a better hand to hand combatant than Annie. Yes, in the beginning and in all the fight scenes we have seen so far is that Eren, before their graduation, was not quite as capable fighter as Annie and neither Mikasa was. But after having been taught by Annie, Eren who is stronger than her might as well be more capable right now. And ok Mikasa is just so damn op, no one matches her.
