I started a similar thread when i first got here (equal bodies, canary cry/lasso). WW was said to be the better at h2h, which was my first exposure to her being more than a gladiator style fighter.
Well, pre-reboot, they were actual sparing partners. In a match with sticks when Canary won, she accused Diana of holding back (and I mean, not in the powers sense, because obviously Dinah notes that if she used her powers than Diana would too and it'd be over so they weren't using powers in the fight, but in the skill sense).
So, pre-reboot, Canary thinks Diana is better but they're close and Dinah can get wins.
This is a real 'both sides can present solid arguments' fight.
Let us decide in the usual manner then. Proceed to the name calling!
On the real though, i always thought BC was better, but then i thought WW was trained in some sort of hybrid greco roman style, with sword/shield/bow/spear thrown in.
However, she has a passion for fighting, and trains for fun.
Heck, there was an excellent comic (Welcome to the Working Week) that showed that she brought some villains- including Lady Shiva- to the Watchtower for sparing in exchange for time off their sentences (partially as a way to nudge them towards rehabilitation, of course, but still).
Batman and her have been seen exchanging feedback while sparring as well.
^^^while not commenting on the ratings you've given (nothing wrong with them), i cant recall what rating system you're using, though i'm sure i've seen it before. Is it an in universe thing?
Anyone?
It's from Countdown to infinite Crisis. When Batman faught Karate Kid (who has lost his memories) he commented on Clark rating KK as a 15 level MA while rating Bruce as a 12 ^^.

Okay, i have read that. Now i just need a Superman fan to explain where Supes got that rating system/what makes him so qualified to judge top tier MAs.
See, thats my question (thanks for scan). Is Supes using a system established by some other source, or is he the source if the system?
Not meaning to derail, though, i'm asking the question elsewhere. You just made my curiosity tingle.
They were pretty even. Both landed a few hits and that's it. Sure, KK was acting all cocky and listing Bruce's injuries, but he wasn't doing any better with a beaten up face like Rihanna...
Seems to be based on the Coluan rating system, just applied to other stats.
If true, would make KK the MA equivelent to what Brainiac is to intelligence.
Where as Brainiac's lineage are 12th, like Vril or Querl.
Just like Batman's MA level.
The highest we've seen claimed is 16, which is what Brainiac claims every time Lex outsmarts him.
But Lex wastes away his potential trying to rival Superman.
