I believe Havelock comes from a noble family, as high officer positions like admiral are not given to people of lowly birth, even if they are gifted. This means he had way less difficulty to progress through the army, as opposed to Corvo who was gifted in sword fighting and was named Royal Protector through a combination of circumstances. While this doesn't inform us of their physical strength, this shows however that Corvo had a more difficult life than Havelock.
