The answer to this dillema is that Gerson is talking about two different kinds of "hero" here.

He fought during the war. Gerson, the Hammer of Justice. But.. How many humans did he kill? How many humans did.. ANYONE kill, for that matter?

He was brave, and fought viligantly, like a "hero" would.. But, at the same time.. He didn't suceed in capturing even ONE human SOUL. He was only able to stall the battle for quite a while.

He doesm't want to fight Chara, because he knows he'd lose. He never actually won against a human. He's not a hero in that regard, and never was. But, he was a brave soldier.. Enough to inspire Undyne.

Besides, the real reason why he did so well is his knolwedge. He explains that to you if you threaten him in the Genocide Route. He knows the game's mechanics too...
