the biggest thing about fighters that makes them under powered is that they are reliant on gear, and require more wealth be invested in them than other classes
in campaigns where your PCs are all selfish jerks, playing a fighter is very difficult because not only will you not have good gear, but your wizard cares more about shooting fireballs everywhere and stealing your kills than throwing you a buff, and as fa as he's concerned, you never earn your share of the loot anyway because he kills all the things anyway, making it even more difficult to play a fighter in that kind of setting
So a wizard without his gear (spellbook) is awesome? Take away a fighters weapon he has like 4 others. Take away a spellbook for a wizard and it aint pretty. Thats if u have a dm diabolical enuff to steal someones spellbook AND the player dont ward it against theft
