Not really, humans are hardy creatures of terrifying durability, ferocity, and cunning. Adverse conditions that would kill many strong animals, humans can endure. Humans can run as far and as fast as horses over long periods of time, and farther and faster than almost any animal that hasn't been specially bred for racing. Humans recover faster from injuries than most animals, generating scar tissue much faster than most creatures. Humans can also persevere through extreme injuries that would debilitate an animal, such as traumatic amputation. Sure you can always engineer a situation where an unprotected human is at a disadvantage compared to a natural predator, but that's an unfair situation which removes most of what a human would rely on (distance, terrain, opportunities for cunning).
When humans co-operate they become super apex predators, but even alone, unarmed, they are formidable.
