Iron Fist is superhuman. He can use his chi in a variety of applications, from increasing the power of his blows to healing. He's also an exceptionally gifted martial artist. Nightwing's main advantage is his gear, and I can't think of anything in his standard kit that would turn the tide in this battle.

Bump instead of making a new thread. Iron Fist is not used often on these boards. I'd like to start getting some general census on where he is power wise compared to others.
Nightwing has mastered many conventional martial arts styles, combined with his natural acrobatic ability make him a very formidable fighter. Iron Fist however has mastered practically all earth's martial arts but more importantly, all of K'un-Luns, a heavenly place absolutely loaded with insanely skilled martial artists. In a straight fist fight I'd pick Iron Fist every time, but add to it the fact that Danny controls the power of the Iron Fist. This pushes his already peak physical attributes well into superhuman levels and gives him the ability to become immune to pain and enhance healing using chi manipulation.
The only thing Dick might have over Danny is gadgets and prep time. For prep time, he isn't Batman but he does have a strategic mind. If he knows who he's going up against he might take along some knockout gas or similar to avoid a physical confrontation. I don't personally know if that type of thing would work on Danny or whether he could use his impressive control over his body to simply hold his breath and get out of the way. Iron Fist is much to fast to be hit by a tranquilizer or wing-ding at any rate.
NW can put up one hell of a fight if he knows the extent of IF power. NW can go in with a Blitzkrieg using his agility and tossing bombs grenades and use of his Suit. but not having the knowledge and limitation of IF it be too out of character for nightwing to go all out with tech.
IF going straight for train lvl chi amping would destroy NW all day everyday.
only using casual lvl of chi the normal non PIS lvl. IF would still beat nightwing for the slight majority.
Well it takes some thinking. Personally I hate DC, well hate is to strong but DC is dissapointing to me. But I have to be fair. So in a fight maybe JUST MAYBE Nightwing could win. Im not TOTALY sure but thats just from lil peeks at my mom's comic box.
