I mean, there's a reason why people only ever compare Battletech against Early OYW tech. You can at least try to form a decent argument about Modern Battlemechs mogging early mobile suit fodder, but you're not convincing anyone that Battletech is still comparable to post late OYW/post OYW tech, let alone tech later in the UC timeline.
Even then, I can't really say most Battlemechs would be able to compete with the original RX-78-2 Gundam.
