Barry cant defeat Eobard Thawne because Thawne alredy create a paradox and change the timeline beyond repair.

For Barry to exist he needs Eobard Thawne to travel back in time and kill his mother, if he kills him or stop him while he is traveling to kill his mother or find who he is, Barry destroy the timeline.

If Barry kills Thawne in the future then Eobard wont have traveled to the past, so he will be erasing and destroying the time line.

Barry and Eobard Thawne arent equals, Barry can defeat easily Thawne, Eobard Thawne is a pathetic guy, but the reality is that Eobard Thawne create a paradox and without him then Barry cant exist.

So i hope you understand the point. In the Future this series needs to put an episode with Barry telling his own self to dont save his mother that night and later finish the series with Barry and Eobard in the future traveling back in time and the two fighting that night, but after saving himself Barry dissapear and goes back in time.
