Well Paul was small and scrawny in comparison to Feyd's massive size as teh book suggests. And he didn't appear to be using any kind of weirding way.

Feyd was brought up as the champion of one of the most opulent and martial Houses Major. He would therefore have been trained to a very high standard, as well as his health being very well cared for.

In the desert, Paul would not have such luxury. Moreover, the mental strain of seeing the futute and acting as a mentat with the data would have affected him physically as well.

Quite apart from the fact that in a one on one fight, you wish to take as few chances as possible - especially given the high level of agility involved - attacking will leave you open...

Also, remember that Feyd isn't a low-class DNA type, he's one of the possibilities to become a wkisatz haderach! That's why the emperor's right arm refused to combat Paul, because he believed the two should combat each other so that the best one survive.

The fremen warrior wasn't a kwisatz haderach... So Feyd is like one of the worst adversaries Paul could get in the universe. Clash of DNA-titans.

Feyd's arragance was a factor he knew he would defeat Paul as in contrast Paul understood that he could lose to Feyd by his many possible visions of the future. Paul simply out thought Feyd in their combat by knowing the possible out come(s) of their meeting.

I base my opinion on more than just Paul winning the fight that he was better trained. Feyd was not as well trained as Paul because Feyd lacked the self-discipline that Paul had recieved from his mentors (IMO).

As Nema said, Feyd had the poisoned slip-tip. Paul had a similar ability, though. (DUNE spoiler)

[hide]Paul could have used a voice command - "Uroshnor" - to activate a subconscious command in Feyd's mind (placed there by Thufir, I believe), which would immobilize him. Paul, however, never used this ability.[/hide]

Paul could have used that advantage (that Vanguard3000 mentioned) but chose not to instead he beat Feyd by using his own treachery against him. Mano a la mano.

The command was placed there by Lady Margot Fenring, I believe, on her visit to Giedi Prime to approve of Feyd's titling as na-Baron.

Paul actually won, however, by twisting himself away from the slip-tip, and then killing Feyd, who was close enough to be vulnerable.
