I saw your message on Kumagai's Abilities page, and I don't know if you'll ever read it, but the reason her being praised by males is mentioned is that it's a direct quotation from the author. Sometimes he can be a little insensitive about these matters, but I think what he means is that even male Attackers, who should be naturally endowed with greater physical strength (just because they're males), acknowledge she is a truly fearsome opponent thanks to her skills.

This may seem offensive at first, but keep in mind the author wanted to create a sports manga originally, and men are generally physically stronger than women; by saying that, he's praising her, even though that may not be the impression you get due to how it's worded. That, or he simply assumed, not erroneously, that men would usually be too proud to admit a woman could cut them up. If you ask me, recognizing the existence of these differences (whether we're talking about biological or social ones) between sexes and going beyond them is better than pretending they're not there.
