I could have sworn this battle was done before on this forum, but...
Captain America could probably take Wolverine, but I don't think it would be an easy fight. If Wolverine behaved strategically on a regular basis as he did with Hulk during his first encounter posing as Patch, then I'd give this to him, but Wolverine more often than not acts irrationally.
I remember one encounter when Wolverine and Captain America fought each other and Captain America was giving Wolverine a thrashing, but couldn't stop him. The fight ended when Wolverine gave him a head butt and another character gave him a knock out injection. But in that comic, Wolverine was put in a spell and wasn't himself.
They are very equal. Maybe Cap America is the better fighter (not so sure though) but Wolverine can certainly take much more than Cap can give him.
I can see Captain America win this fight, but I can also see Wolverine slicing up Captain America. Like most fights, it depends on the writer - again.

So this may be the Ultimate thread...cause, if Captain America can beat Wolverine then it's fair to say that HE can beat anyone else. Now the same rule doesn't apply to anyone who can beat Wolverine but I think Cap's the one. And what I really love about the Captain that is nearly never mentioned is the Impression of Calm he give when he is really quite the conversationalist. He could stand down any of the greats like Spidy or Deadpool and Iceman too.
They ought to make ethnic smilies!

The fighting ability on both fighters are equal, and ironically enough both are projects of the same supersoldier project (as revealed by Grant Morrison's X-men.) I think this fight is much closer than ya'll are saying and quite personally i don't know who to give it to at this time.
actually captain america is considered the best hand to hand combatant on the planet. so i'd say he has if nothing else....... a small lead over wolverine in fighting ability. i think it would be a very close fight, but i'm still leaning towards cap.

Have you considered that both the training and experience is simular. Both men have seen wars and are much older than they appear (cap due to his freezing though.) And everyone keeps saying that Wolvie's just some crazy berserker but this isn't true. His samurai training was specifically meant to help him control his rage and use it perfectly to his advantage. Yes cap is considered the absolute best at fighting but Wolvie is right on up there too. Any differences in my opinion would be too minute to matter (is that how you spell *mynoot*?.)
just because 30 people know karate doesnt mean they will stale-mate each other in a sparring match either. this is totally irrelavant. it still doesnt change the fact that cap is the best hand to hand combatant on the planet........
mynoot...... lol...... thats a good one. but i do think that fighting ability would be the factor considering almost everything else is equal between the 2. i think cap would outfight wolverine.

I think that would be the least determining factor. People can have the same training but few can be as promising as Wolvie. I seriously think you are underestimating Wolvie's fighting ability.
I think instead one should weigh, Cap's resourcefulness vs. Wolvie's controlled rage. After all, Cap has found himself somewhat cowering behind his sheild when the going gets tough (i hate to say cowering when talking about Cap but i couldn't think of another word.)
but that doesnt mean caps afraid......... and i'm not underestimating wolverines fighting abilities. i think you are overestimating. its just a matter of opinion is all.
cap to me is the better fighter, he has proven so against alot of people.
