Wow, two guys I absolutely love going up against each other. I would side with Daredevil in a tough match.
First, the argument that BB wins because he's willing to kill is a lame and weak one. It should be blatantly obvious at this point that street leveled heroes that don't normally kill like Batman and Daredevil faced enemies that try to kill them at any chance they can get. Despite this, it does not in anyway hurt the hero's ability at taking them down. That applies here also.
Now, my take on this.. For starters I would give DD the definite edge in speed and agility while Big Boss in raw strength. @nickzambuto already gave a summary of some of Snake's feats so I don't need to repeat it. Pain tolerance and durability is actually pretty comparable, since both men have been beaten and injured to near death and kept going. One doesn't necessarily eclipse the other in my opinion, so it's not one sided.
As for the fight itself, I will say that the radar sense gives DD a significant edge here. With every breath BB makes, every heartbeat he makes, every muscle twitch, every reload of his gun, the smell of his sweat, he can't get the jump on Matt in combat...ever. BB best weapon, stealth, is gone here. Matt's enhanced senses allows him to accurately predict what his opponent will do next. He will know the type of weapons BB is packing and how well to adapt to it. And he will too know what type of strike or kick BB will make by the contraction of his muscles and will react accordingly to it, keeping on the defense will being offensive at the same time. DD has been tested and proven through his entire history as being a Tier 1 bullet timer. It's second nature of him to dodge gunfire and legit marksmen like Bullseye, Punisher and many others couldn't take him down. Even an amazing shot like BB would be hard pressed to actually hit Daredevil, especially when Snake will be doing the best he can to hold his own when Matt is maneuvering around him and bringing out the Billy Clubs on him.
That brings up my next point, H2H combat. Out of two, DD is the better H2H fighter in my eyes. His fighting style is composed of multiple martial arts he mastered and has managed to implement this in an extremely acrobatic and aerobic form of fighting. This, enhanced by his radar sense,makes him an extremely effective fighter. The most dangerous weapon DD has and is known for is his knowledge of pressure points. His radar can pinpoint weak spots on his opponent's body and let him strike it with absolute ease. Not only that, but his ability to make his Billy Club ricochet off of walls and wrap his opponent in wire makes him very flexible in combat. HOWEVER, this does NOT take away from Big Boss's own skill and ability. Big Boss is an amazing fighter, many might disagree but I honestly think BB is soundly better than Solid Snake in this area. The Punisher was able to put the hurting on DD multiple times and, since I think Snake could take Frank, I will say that BB is more than capable of hurting DD. Though I think Matt is the overall better fighter here, he would need to refrain from taking on the BB in a grappling match. Once Big Boss manages to grab DD, he can use his own momentum against him and throw him into a wall and pin him on the ground. DD can counter with a pressure point strike though, so Snake's best choice would be to restrict Matt's movement by grabbing both of his arms. BB will have to keep the distance between them by shooting and Matt strategically and will need to best he can to avoid a ricocheted hit from DD's billy club. BB best chance would be to break one of DD limbs to completely take him out of his groove and gain the upper advantage and he definitely could. Big Boss has the stamina to keep up and the adaptability to react to DD attempting to strike him down.
I might go on and on about this so I'll wrap it up. DD will take the win for me because of how well he use his abilities, speed, agility, skill and how amazingly they all blend together to give him the sound edge. I love BB but he isn't bringing anything new to the table that DD hasn't already experienced fighting Captain America, Punisher, Spider Man, Bulleye, Elektra, Crossbones, Deadpool, Wolverine, Taskmaster etc. Matt's skill, speed, and his ability to know BB's body and how to take it down with his radar, and the fact that HIS RADAR GIVES HIM COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS MAP AREA (on mobile so I have to use caps) is too much of an advantage. However, BB is capable of defeating Matt. His marksmanship skills will keep Matt on his toes throughout the entire fight and he will turn the tides of the fight upon reacting to DD'S close range fighting. He can pull the fight in his favor by using DD best assets against him and ultimately pull a close win. In this situation, where Big Boss is unaware of Matt's radar sense, I don't see it happening.
If you were to give BB knowledge of DD'S radar sense (please don't change the op like everybody else to making your favorite character win over the other) and give him some prep, I would be inclined to say that BB would take a win in a difficult fight through use of chaff grenades, pulse emmiter and flashbangs. I think the chaff grenades would royally screw up Matt's radar, leaving him vulnerable to Snakes shot in that case.
Anyway, DD in a difficult fight. :)
