I guess I'll start this off. I have no clue who would win this. In a random encounter I think Taskmaster might win because he can copy moves and Moon Knight wouldn't expect that, but with prep it might be different.
I'd go with Taskmaster.
But Moon Knight did make Taskmaster poop his pants lol.

@cf12793: good point.
"Taskmaster has said that he finds Moon Knight's style of fighting annoying, as Moon Knight would rather take a punch than avoid it."
I would love to see this fight.
ROUND 1: Taskmaster 'cause of his copying feat.
ROUND 2: Probably Moon Knight as THIS time he has prep and he knows all about Tasky's feats. If MK is able to successfully ambush TM in this round with surprise, he'll secure the win.
ANYWAYS, great fight!
Tony stomps both rounds
Moon Knight already beat him. Tasky has some mad skillz but Moon Knight has something that scares the crap out of him, we are not really sure what it is, maybe it's that Moon Knight is channeling the supernatural force of a god that Tasky can't replicate? One thing that is consistent with Moon Knight's victories is that Khonshu's influence can be felt in the circumstances of the battle, where they are tipped in Marc's favor, maybe that was the fear that Tasky felt when the situation of the battle turned...
Whatever the case, Moonie easily takes a majority here... He beat Deadpool, Daken and traded blows with alot of other ridiculously heavy hitters like Shadowland Daredevil, Count Nefaria, Doctor Doom and the Thunderbolts on his own so he definitely has the credentials.

Moon Knight beating Taskmaster was straight up PIS, and I'm not someone that uses that term very often. In their fight Taskmaster was for some reason afraid because Moon Knight doesn't try to avoid punches and actually likes getting hit, and because Taskmaster didn't want to copy his style he somehow forgot every other style he knew, forgot how to predict attacks, and got scared. It's straight up shit writing, and this is coming from a huge Moon Knight fan.
He never traded blows with Doom. He was wearing his adamantium armour and tanked a few shots from Doom. Definitely an impressive durability feat in that armour, but it's far from trading blows. Doom could have flicked him to mars if he felt like it. Anyway, Taskmaster has already done the same Moon Knight has and more. I think Marc has the better physicals, but Tony has better tech, way better skill, can predict Moon Knight's moves, and can punch faster than he can react.
In light of what @pipxeroth has said. I am going to go with Taskmaster.
Taskmaster for the stomp.
Definitely not a stomp
Taskmaster takes round one 8/10 & round 2 he wins with ease

no it's a stomp, with his skill set Tony build to not lose to any street level character. Tony murders him.
Taskmaster humiliates him.
The experts agree.

Moon Knight rolling over Taskmaster is totally not PIS, it's cannon. You don't have to like it, but it does make sense...
Because at that point Tony saw there was no stopping him after driving two arrows into his chest and Moon Knight actually inviting Tony to kill him, there was no moves Tony could replicate there. Why didn't Tony break out some fancy moves to fight back? Well at that point he probably thought that even if he did that it would just piss off this crazy psycho even more, and best case Moonie would just come back to life and cut his face off anyway, as was Moon Knight's reputation in that series of killing and mutilating named supervillians.
Also, Moon Knight has squarely defeated Deadpool, and in turn, Wade routinely beats Taskmaster...Largely for the same reasons; they are both so unpredictable and crazy Tasky can't cope with them... Truth is, Taskmaster refuses to replicate their styles because it puts him in harms way and he doesn't have the crazy healing factor of Wade or damage soak or the confidence he'll be resurrected like Marc.
If this was a HTH fight there would certainly be a case for Tasky, but this is a RANDOM encounter, and one with prep... So both would have their crazy gear. Moon Knight is no fool, he's not going fight Tasky in a conventional way to give Tony the advantage of his abilities.... Bottom line is Moonie already knows the recipe for taking down Tasky, he's done so before he can do it again.
Why didn't Tony break out some fancy moves to fight back?
And this question is PRECISELY the question everybody asks themselves about the instance. It was poor writing, specially since Taskmaster humiliated him previously. On top of that Taskmaster has never been afraid of no one and he has taken on entire teams of super powered avengers without any fear whatsoever. Moreover, as far as individual feats go, Moon Knight is fodder to Taskmaster.

Pretty much this.

Taskmaster may have humiliated him but it was because Marc was in a wheelchair with two broken legs and already contemplating suicide, even then he still fought back and Taskmaster was still driven off.
He has never been afraid because he usually knows what he's contending with he can defeat, and avengers don't kill villians.
Moon Knight is not fodder for Tony, clearly.
@rag_man: You know nothing Jon Snow.

Driven off by something completely independent of Moon Knight.
He has never been afraid because he usually knows what he's contending with he can defeat, and avengers don't kill villians.
OR maybe because Taskmaster is a War Hero and Nick Fury's best agent that fought against his odds more times than not and even in random encounters he fights fluidly instead of cowering into fetal position because someone is willing to die. Hell, Taskmaster takes advantage of people like that. Regardless, Taskmaster has also killed villains who are willing to kill, what the hell man?

Your whole argument comes from a shared issue that Taskmaster was portrayed completely off his character by the end of the story arc. Taskmaster feats are MUCH greater than anything Moon Knight has shown.

It being canon does not mean it can't be PIS. Spiderman beating Firelord is canon, but universally agreed to be PIS.

Because it was bad writing and PIS. Tony has mastered the fighting styles of Captain America, Ironfist, Daredevil, etc. all people who can beat Moon Knight. Taskmaster should not have lost that fight at all, end of discussion. He is far too skilled for MK. The only people that honestly can really stand against him are people like T'Challa because of how smart he is and how good his gear is. Skill wise he outclasses every other street leveler.

Deadpool does not routinely beat Taskmaster, and most of the times he does win is bad writing anyway. Deadpool essentially nullifies Tony's powers of being able to read his fighting style, but the fact he then ends up fighting like complete shit is just bad writing. It's not like he automatically forgets every other fighting style he's spent years mastering (when he can master it in minutes anyway). The truth is its bad writing because Tony is not a very well known character. This is a guy who stomps The Cat, Captain America, Daken, has one shotted Jessica Drew, fights Spiderman, and even dances around Ironman. Moon Knight has nothingon him, and again this is coming from a huge Moon Knight fan.

If that recipe is PIS, sure thing.
Taskmaster wins.
Round 1 definitely goes to Tony, but I'd back Marc for round 2, honestly.
Really? What do you think he's going to do, if you don't mind me asking

Marc has a wide variety of gear from over the years. His arsenal would be quite ridiculous with prep.

I can't think of any game-changing equipment, probably because I don't know what he's done 'over the years'. But what's he going to do if Tony just copies all his moves, Tony has equipment too... Since UDON gear is still part of 616 universe he can bring that gear and GG..

He has pure carbodium armor, which gives him absolutely ridiculous durability, a powerful helicopter equipped with massive canons, sonic weapons that could temporarily throw Hulk into a daze, has bombs that were able to bother Sentry, and more. UDON gear wouldn't save Tony in a prep battle.
@beaconofstrength: Tony has a nitric acid arrow to deal with the armor or electric arrow. He also has a disruptive arrow that managed to neutralize Iron Man's suit temporarily which he can use on the helicopter... I don't see why the other equipment mentioned is a game changer. UDON Gear is overrated... His standard gear is much better.
@beaconofstrength: Sound's good, make's sense.
@beaconofstrength: Thanks for clarifying.
@ghostravage: UDON Gear looks cooler
Looks > Functionality
