My comment:

O, "no me haría ni sombra" o "no me llegaría ni a los talones" (jerga juvenil). En español ya tenemos esta frase hecha, no hay necesidad de traducir palabra por palabra. Date cuenta como al traducir "for me" se convierte en "mi" a secas. Lo siento, pero estoy en desacuerdo con el resto de las compañeras que usan "para mi".

My comment:

Yes, I agree with your interpretation. From this context, the speaker believes his opponent is inferior to him. "No sería rival para mí" is a good translation.
