In unarmed combat between these two who would win? Cable can not use his mutant abilities only his fighting skills. Batman does not have his utility belt, or Batarangs.
Cable should win. Even without his TK, he's still an exceptional fighter and has his cybernetic arm (10-ton lifting capacity, defensive capability, ) a hell of a lot better than brass knuckles).
I don't know what you were seeing, but from what I saw.... Cable hit Wolverine with an unexpected right cross that left him flat. Cable may not be able to beat Wolverine in the long run without TK, but in a fight he was/is the more graceful fighter. Besides this is really not a fight versus Wolverine, I used Wolverine and Bishop as an example to show that Cable could go the distance if not win against Batman.
You may want to re read the issue. cable tried to run. Logan tackle cable and could have stabb him,but he wanted to talk. cable attempts to shoot wolverine. wolverine dodge the piont blank shot and cuts the gun in haft. Cable punch Logan once in that entier fight in no way showed to be more graceful.
