OP, pawns aren't handicapped at all, so there's no reason they should automatically do less damage than you, especially if they have a more offensive oriented build. My pawn can easily 1-shot me if she gets possessed. When she hits Daimon with Brain Splitter she can take almost 3/4 of a health bar from him, I can't.

You can stagger him with bowfire, so that can make the fight fairly easy (and a little boring, maybe), but I always like to climb and Dire Gouge/100 Kisses him. He'll usually knock me off a few times, then I'll get on and once I can tell he won't blast me off I'll pop 4 Conqueror's Periapts and it's all over.
