All the posts are about combat between some guy with a short sword vs. a spear. No one has considered Paul’s ability to predict future actions and using that to determine the best outcome. Much like fighting a Jedi (who presumably could anticipate the immediate future), how can you fight someone who already knows how you’ll move and the best counter?
It was made abundantly clear that Paul could not use his prescience that way.
However, Paul being hyper-observant would see your moves as they happened and would react before you’re even finished making them, just as in his first fight where he killed for the first time.

Paul would win, undoubtedly.
That’s called thinking. You can do it with a spear too.
