You're referring to a comic which had Cheetah blitz past Wonder Woman, Donna, and Supergirl undetected despite having committed mass murder at a super-max prison, easily toss Wonder Woman around and Wonder Woman took her out in 3 hits after she cut Cheetah's tail off and was bleeding out, which she couldn't do until Cheetah took her eyes off of Wonder Woman because she wanted to snack on some nearby guards...
Plus 3 hits to the head isn't minor when you swing in the same weight class.

It's possible that Diana didn't know the full extent of her powers at that point or they just weren't properly developed. Messner-Loebs later established that she couldn't use her powers growing up at Themyscira because of Hippolyta's enchantment, so they were relatively new to her.
As for the fight in Rucka’s run, something was up with Cheetah's powers (look at the left hand), so she probably wasn't at her full strength
And as far as her feats go:
Standing chill, holding the lasso with one hand
Breaking free from the lasso
"The perfect storm"
The first perez fight is undermined by WW not being able to lift a tree. That same WW had already lifted far heavier things before that fight.
The other 2 scans are some of the only few times where Cheetah got the upper hand. My point is. That WW writers need to focus on Cheetah's power more. If she is anywhere close to WW's stats. We need to actually see it more often. And then maybe Cheetah won't be such a jobber in most appearances outside of WW.
Cheetah's strength is 95% of the time relegated to fighting evenly with Diana. She isn't going to have a lot of lifting feats.

Most of the time, Cheetah is not shown as fighting evenly with WW. I would say that based on all we have heard about Cheetah. She should be faster than WW. Not as strong as WW but close enough to trade blows with her. Problem is that more often than not. Cheetah is not presented as a character capable of giving WW much of a fight. Which sucks because she is supposed to be powerful enough to do so. If WW writers don't start making the power of her villains feel like a big deal. Then there is even less hope outside WW comics. And for that we also need to see a Diana that feels like a powerhouse herself. Because she has been pathetically weak in most of her latest runs(and comics outside her title too)
I bet we wouldn't be able to make it to 2 pages in a thread about Cheetah's good performances. That is how badly she is treated from comics to movies.
I have no idea what power rankings you are talking about and I don't see why people care about them. This isn't fantasy football.
