Not to mention, Matt has a great disadvantage fighting against Cap. He can't read his moves, due to the Super Soldier Serum, so he doesn't know when or where Cap is going to throw a punch until he throws it.
but thats not completely true There was one instance when DD couldn't read Cap's heart. But DD has other ways to read an opponent. And unless I'm mistaken, DD was quite tired at the time. Though, it wasn't mentioned as the reason he had trouble reading Cap.
In another instance, DD could read Cap just fine.
The two have fought multiple times.
One was a nearly issue long classic fight in DD's fight. Cap was even using his shield while DD was unarmed and it was a stalemate.
The next fight was in DD's title again. DD turns off the lights at Avengers Mansion and engages the Avengers (Cap, Hercules, Beast, Black Widow). He casually defeats most of them including Cap. And that's while DD was weakened and delirious.
And there was another fight where Cap was off the deep end and became bad. DD engaged him in a warehouse and Cap seemed to get the better of DD. Though, it should be noted that Cap was basically "bad" so not holding back, while DD obviously was.
And there's the Streets of Poison fight where Cap (mentally unstable, agressive, not holding back, but not in top shape) beats down DD (who was seriously weakened and just went through hell, literally).
Also, DD defeated Infomorph, a being who had absorbed DD's and Cap's skills, possibly among others. Though, that's not representative at all IMHO.
Not a bad track record for DD, I'd say (I'm not too sure, but IIRC, in the first fight I mentioned, DD himself was somewhat mentally unstable).
Still, Cap takes the majority IMHO. Physically superior, has a shield and a better fighter, even if not by much.
