Are the dwarves of Thorins company each as skilled as Gimli?

Question

I can’t remember if this is just a movie line, but thorin says that each of them are fighters… which I shrugged off at first, but Gimli probably learned from Gloin and kings are usually considered more skilled in Tolkien, whcih means that thorin and killi and filly were likely stronger than Gloin. My bs instincts went off for a moment, because Gimli is the greatest? But he’s the greatest because he was an elf friend, not because he’s the greatest warrior ya?

Point being, I have a lot more belief in the dwarves company fighting a whole horde of goblins once I realized that each of them were Gimli powered.
