Past Flash (season 1) couldn't beat Eobard Thawne, even though he lost most of his connection to the speed force by then. Future Flash (the one that saved Barry as a child) was said by Eobard Thawne to be equal to him (before he lost his connection to the speed force). Current Flash (season 2) kicked Eobard Thawne's teeth in when he saved his mom. Thus, Current Flash beat the same Eobard Thawne that was said to be equal to Future Flash before losing some of his ability to tap into the speed force.

Does that mean our Current Flash is faster than the Future Flash? I mean, he ended up being faster than Zoom but I don't get how he ends up being only equal in speed to the Reverse Flash since he could beat him up right now. As evidenced by the show, he has always gotten faster with practice and experience and since he looks exactly the same in the future, aging doesn't seem to be an issue.

Any explanations, guys and gals?
