@newecho: Just about every fight has context. And I said that Cap HAS beaten Logan, not that he's won more. And I also pointed out that many of Logan's wins over Cap are because he has a powerset (healing, superhuman physicals in the high-street area, and adamantium durability) counter Cap perfectly. He's not winning on skill, unless you count the one AvX showing (one showing in how many?).
In the 80s Fist wasn't nearly as impressive. It's like saying Namor fought Hulk evenly in the 60s and 70s so he could do it now, when Hulk has far outgrown that. That's a dated reference, hell back than Fist was the typical 'glass cannon' and using too much chi exhausted him. Also beating someone doesn't make you skilled. Spider-Man has beaten Iron Fist and Wolverine, Flash Thompson one-shot Captain America. Does that make Peter and Flash top tier fighters now? No.
Unless you can show me Logan beating T'Challa using skill (since again, that's what this is about) I'm not convinced.
Look at it like this: you can be a well trained martial artist, and lose a fight to a guy in the street who has no training. Skilled training is not the same as skilled in combat. Logan also has skill, but doesn't rely on it as a mainstay. He usually relies on healing and cutting power. Bruce has no such luxuries, and must rely on skill. So in the grand scheme of who's more skilled (in comic book land), Batman is more skilled because he consistently uses it more and has the mindset to use it more. Logan does not demonstrate, apply, or use skill often enough to be on Bruce's level. Wolverine is good enough to fight skilled fighters, but his skill isn't winning him the day against them.
