Coming back with a fury I see...
 
I'm going with Nightwing. His acrobatics and agility will give Crossbones trouble.

@texasdeathmatch:

I was up late and the site was dead. So, I figured I'd spend some time over here as well.

Unless I'm not welcome. Then I'll pull a Bruce Banner and walk away on a long road with some sad, sad music playing.

Im not sure about this but didnt Bucky beat Crossbones in a fight after Crossbones shot him in the back 2-3 times? Bucky was groggy and hurt yet he still beat Crossbones.

As much as I like Crossbones and think he is overlooked and underrated. I don't see him beating Nightwing more times than getting beat. 

Nightwing 8/10

Nightwing wins.

Nightwing.  He's as close to Bucky as you can get without the technoprosthetic arm, and he's defeated Crossbones on numerous occasions now.

Not like I've given reasons as to why Bucky's victory was clearly downplaying Crossbones or anything.  But I guess that makes sense.  Have even fights with Rogers, but lose easily to Bucky.  Totally logical, right?

Nightwing kicks the ass of Crossbones

I think Nightwing takes a healthy 8/10 for this based on points already raised

I think this is pretty close to a stalemate. Because morals apply, Nightwing will try to not hurt Corssbones. Crossbones has no morals and will fight ruthlessly.  
 
I see Crossbones winning this. What is agility going to do for Greyson in a h2h fight with someone that is very skilled. Is he going to run away and do cartwheels as he does it? 
 
With morals Crossbones takes it 6/10 
Without morals Nightwing 6/10

Nightwing was trained by Batman and fought side by side with him for a long time so he has experience and training to be a highly effective fighter,i don't know to much about crossbones so i'll go read his respect page before i state who I think would win.

Nightwing.

They had 3 encounters in total.  The first one, they tackled each other from a helicopter.  They smashed through a billboard, and when they landed, Crossbones's head smashed into a brick/cement wall, suffering a fractured skull.  The second time Bucky one-shotted him, which I strongly disagree with.  The man takes hits from Rogers, so he's not getting one-shotted by Bucky's organic arm any time soon.  I'll accept it if it was an artist error and it was intended to be the (superhuman) bionic arm.

@progenitor: 

Taking scans out of context isn't a very nice thing to do.  Also, my statements on the other page:

I'm actually pulling for Crossbones here.  I mean, I think that Nightwing would win, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want Crossbones to win, but is there any reason or feat to suggest that Nightwing couldn't do so? What about the built-in taser in his suit? Shouldn't that handily take care of Crossbones? Or the gadgets in his gauntlets and boots?

The way this fight is set up, I say Crossbones takes it slightly. My final take. 
 
Strength: Crossbones slightly 
Durability: Crossbones 
Skill: Nightwing slightly 
Speed: About equal 
Agility: Greyson, but doesn't really matter. Not like they are fighting in a circus trapeze. 

@progenitor: Not once have I stated Bucky shouldn't be able to beat Crossbones.  I've disputed the factors in which their encounters have happened and that Crossbones does in fact perform well against Bucky's superior.  Grayson isn't in Slade's league, regardless of the Titans showing.  Unless of course we should also treat the showing with Killer Croc an issue earlier as legitimate, too....Which, well....We definitely shouldn't.
