I feel that in the right circumstances, Gondo could kick even Remedios' ass...maybe right into a river of molten lava or something. I certainly feel that in terms of raw physical strength he'd be competitive with the average paladin.

Of course, strength isn't the whole story. Nor is combat ability, whether melee, ranged, support, or command. There are non-combat classes...but they yield benefits as well.

Still, I feel that there is a reason that difficulty ratings are assigned to monsters, rather than humanoids with highly developed professional abilities. Considered as an underground monster, Gondo might be rated at difficulty 15-25 rather than 33. Enough to end a careless/stupid paladin, not enough to really reflect his full abilities.
