Hasn't got the guts.
Hello,
Is the idiom 'Haven't got the guts' used correctly in these examples?
1.He can't do it. He just hasn't got the guts(to do it)(to complete with us)
2.He can't do it. He doesn't have what it takes.
3.He can't do it. He doesn't have the guts(to do it)(to complete with us)
4He can't do it. He has no guts( to complete with us)(to do it)
5.He can't do it. He isn't up to it.
6.He can't do it. He hasn't got the guts(to do it)(to complete with us)
Another word is lightweight, but I don't know how to use it in this context.
Thanks

To compete, of course. Thanks. So these statements can be used without additional context?
