As a fan of FNAF, but not a rabid one, I'll try and look, in an unbiased way, at Freddy (not including FNAF World, since I doubt he has the power to summon giant pizza in the normal games)

Strengths:

Physically strong enough to restrain and assault a fully-grown human male.

As shown by Fredbear, the jaw is powerful enough to crush a human skull.

Much faster than he naturally should be. Capable of darting several yards within the span of a few seconds

Has some sort of thinking ability. Capable of utilizing stealth and plotting against an opponent.

Weaknesses:

Joints and limbs capable of locking, if not given enough stimulus.

Will succumb to rust, aging, and malfunction if not properly maintained.

Strong, but not durable. As made apparent with the Mangle, even toddlers are capable of damaging and dismembering an animatronic that cannot properly defend itself.

Despite being possessed by a spirit, the shutdown or hacking of it's operating system will still cripple it.

Said spirit possessing the robot is a child. It has shown to be single-minded, easily distracted, and incapable of always fully utilizing the benefits of it's robot body.

Despite being very intelligent for both a child and a robot, Freddy's analytical approach would be detrimental in a Death Battle-style conflict. It doesn't have the benefit of being left alone for several hours to watch and learn from it's foe.

No reason to believe it has any battle experience. It's only potential feats come from overwhelming a much weaker and mentally traumatized foe. It's never had to deal with somebody or something who could physically fight back.
