Though it depends on the variant, the thrust to weight ratio of the MiG-29 is about 1.05:1, while it is at about 1.2:1 for the F-16, therefore the F-16 is more powerful. People like to compare the fulcrum with the hornet and falcon, based on their somewhat similar size and lightweight philosophy, bu in truth they aren't really designed for the same roles, with both the Hornet and Falcon more of true multi-role jets and the Fulcrum really a fighter with some secondary air to ground capability.
