Sure, I'll give Joker credit where credit is due, but Nick Fury's part of the old guard, he's been around; he'd wreck him in hand to hand, Joker could probably outprep him if they had equal resources.
Which, now that I remember he's not actually of head of SHIELD anymore, Joker might take it with prep.
Shield's exploits seem to be on a different level than Joker's. Really depends on if it is current Nick Fury or when he led Shield.
Nick w/o prep.
With prep it is creative unpredictability vs. true tactical strategy. Good battle. I'll give it to Joker because his M.O. involves more traps for taking out powerful individuals with no superpowers.

Joker is a super-genius on par with Batman&Ra's Al Ghul. He's one of only two people to beat Ra's in chess.
His joker venom has no permanent cure. Batman has to create new antidotes periodically because Joker remixes and changes the formula.
He has made traps to take out Super powered beings. Granted, some meta humans are out of his range, but he's one of the most dangerous people in the DCU.
Regarding H2H, Cassie Cain was unable to read his movements, so he's got some skill. But I'm certainly not giving him the win over Fury in H2H. 😛
By "individuals with no superpowers" that was a sly way of saying Batman and Robin, but of course Joker has gone up against many others in DC. I didn't know that about the venom. But his genius is mitigated a bit by insanity. Somehow I feel that gives him the edge here though, but (I thinking less likely) it could also plant the seed for Joker's defeat.
