While I would give the edge to Cap, mainly because he's just stronger and faster, I do have to question this whole notion of his vast experience.

Before Operation Rebirth in 1940, Steve Rogers had no previous military service or fighting skills, be it armed or unarmed. So, following the super soldier serum process he must have undergone a period of intensive training before being deployed. He remained active until 1945, when he was thrown into suspended animation, where he remained until found by the Avengers.

Now, calculating the passage of time accurately from comics is next to impossible, but the formation of the Avengers can't be more than 10 years ago (in Earth 616 years). So Cap's been fighting the good fight for a maximum 15 years. Is this really so much more than Daredevil? It certainly is far less than Wolverine, Nick Fury or the Black Widow.

Now if we were talking about experience being trapped in ice... Cap's king.

Cap would win, hands down. There was a storyline in Captain America in issues 372-378 where Cap has accidentally inhaled the drug Ice and went on a rampage from its effects. Daredevil tries to stop Cap and totally gets destroyed by Cap. It was really cool.

But even without Ice in his system I still think Cap would win easily. Well, maybe if they were fighting in total darkness I can see Daredevil possibly winning.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Cap would win, not easily but he would win. I always tought Daredevil against an experienced Nightwing would be a good fight.

Cap is one of the elite hand to hand fighters of the M.U., couple with the strenght (brawn) and speed he should win over DD.

Something to mention about the classic "Born Again" Miller arch, Daredevil was coming off being completely ass whupped by Kingpin when he met Cap and Nuke. I have to think that Cap had the jump on him considering what he had just went through.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who questioned this.

Captain America would clean DD's clock. I'd kill to see a current tussle with these 2 bad@$$es written by Ed Bru and drawn by LEE WEEKS. Weeks's DD is in my top 3 DD artists right after Wally Wood and Frank Miller. Hell, Weeks is an AMAZING artist in no matter what character/s he draws! His Hulk run (TOO SHORT!) was insane. His DD run with the character going head-to-gun with the Punisher back in the #290s was spectacular. Conclusion: Lee Weeks draws some of the BEST action scenes in the comics field.
