They have fought a couple of times. But Taskmaster is smart enough and always retreats. Taskmaster can handle himself for a while but Spider-man would win in a real fight.
And another time SM was dominating the whole fight and Taskmaster barely managed to escape.

Hmm? I mean I think Taskmaster is one of the cooler villains out there but would "knowing all his moves" matter in the long run? I mean Spider-man would probably improvise if the enemy knew how he moved (like when he fought the beetle in his first "proper IMO" suit"). Also Spideys spider-sense allows him to evade attacks and just go by reflexes . That combined with his other powers and stamina he would beat Taskmaster... Wouldn't he?
Here's the thing. Taskmaster can only copy anyone's moves so far as his body, strength, agility, etc. can comply. He simply can't bend in some of the ways Spidey can, nor can he replicate Spidey's speed and strength. I'm sure that in a comic it could go both ways and would be a decent fight. But logically, there's no way SM loses this.
Well when Taskmaster KO'd Spidey it was total bullshit. Spider-Man had him in a bearhug, and Taskmaster threw his billyclub at the wall and it came back and hit Spider-Man in the back of the head. Spidey should've known it was coming, because of his spider-sense, not to mention the Taskmaster was SAYING WHAT HE WAS DOING. Also, when has a single blow from a billy club been enough to knock Spider-Man out?
Taskmaster is a cool character, but he isn't strong or fast enough to take out Spider-Man. His only hope is to trick him or just run away.
As good as TM is, no person with human level strength should be able to beat Spidey in h2h. Spidey wins 99/100 including those odd days when Spidey is half asleep/stupid, otherwise it's Spidey 10/10.
