Oh really? Id like to see those. Stick absolutely humiliated Wolverine. The Gamora fight was such a breif struggle its basically a glorified stalemate.
Stick whacked Wolverine a couple of times when Wolverine thought he was a crazy old, the moment Wolverine got feed up Stick was unable to lay a finger on him. According to some people on the forums (not me) Gamora is a top tier cosmic Martial Artist on par with Karate Kid (people who think that are crazy). Wolverine looked blades with her and dropped her with a gut check. She was "distracted"... but Wolverine had the same distraction as she did, and he didn't drop step. She is supposed to be a professional. Shigen and Ogun also transcend the street level MA top tier and he has beaten both of them.

yes I am aware of their fights. Wolverine wasn't particularly skilled in those fights. He relies on his skeleton and his HF.
Some of them, a lot of them are several panel ownages where he doesn't get hit.

So those guys have enhanced reflexes that allow them to see in slow motion?
No... but they don't get beat up by Catwoman. What's Ziess' best win? Travis? He sounds better on paper than he actually is. Batman destroyed quickly and effortlessly the last time they fought.

KG Beast and NKV Demon are peers of the Top 10. These guys have the stats to fight Aquaman evenly.
No they aren't. KGBeast had a good showing when he first appeared and almost beat Batman... but since then he has sucked and so have all his predecessors who took up the name. They've both been beaten by Nightwing. Effortlessly. KGBeast was killed by Harvey Dent in h2h... I think King Snake even beat him.

Who's Tommy Jagger? And Black Canary and Connor Hawke on the Top 10? That is ridiculous.
Personal favorite. He is unknown and underrated and it's a travesty. He did this to a Venomed up Bane:

Both Canary and Connor have held their own against both Shiva and Cass in melee combat. There spots on a top 10 list are undeniable. Outside of Tommy and Drakon, my list is essentially forum consensus (my list doesn't include Karate Kid because I make a point to separate him from the standard continuity characters, which gives me an extra free space).

Rais al Ghul (in his prime)
David Caine
Deathstroke
That's a terrible list (even ignoring the fact that there are eleven names on your supposed top 10 list). Nightwing has beat half of substitutions (Deathstroke and Ra's) on your list, Azrael got by on his superhuman stats, I believe Nightwing even said as much too him. The only one who could be argued for a top 10 position is Prometheus. You can make a better case for Nightwing, Wildcat and Catman for top ten then any of your subs... even Bane.

Wolverine has a win on Cap Shang and DD, and only one of those (Cap) has a winning record on.
Marvel's top ten Earth based MAs is something like: Mandarin, Temugin, Wolverine, Cap, Elektra, Iron Fist, Shang-Chi, Daredevil, Cat and there is some wiggle room for the last spot (Black Panther, Psylocke (post Ogun training) and Deadpool, among others... maybe Winder Soldier). Wolverine has a winning record over Cap, Shang-Chi, DD and Iron Fist, a No Contest against Elektra, he's had brief exchanges against Mandarin but nothing h2h or anything significant enough to call a fight, and he's never fought Cat or Temugin. He has wins over just about anyone you can pick for the last 10 spot.

What proof do have Shiva was hindered by the mind control?
Ignoring the fact that we've seen them fight twice before, where they competed evenly over prolonged engagements (which makes Batman one shotting her a completely nonsensical occurrence), mind control being a hindrance is a forum concurrences. It's a plot device that allows one character to beat another one with sullying that character's record.

So instead of talking they were fighting. So it was a fight then right?
They were fighting as talking... which is confusing... but requires a distinction.

When did Batman lose to her? Not only held his own but looked superior and got in more hits.
He didn't, I meant that he has one stalemate and zero wins, zero loses. Their only real fight was the stalemate in Batgirl 50.

Sensei is still above the Top End Streel Level.
True. He is the only DC old master we've seen actually do anything, where as the skill levels of Kirigi, I-Ching and O-Sensei are all hypothetical. But Batman didn't beat him because of his skill, he beat him via out lasting his terrible stamina.
Originally posted by Letters
yes they have 2 stalemates actually. Bruce is 0 1 2 with Ben. BT has also Stalemated Deathstroke.
You are counting the team fight in Suicide Squad (or was it JLI)? There isn't enough there for me personally to warrant it's inclusion, its like the Wolverine vs Cap in Children's Crusade, but maybe you are right and it should be mentioned.

The Dragon fight is not in continuity, but the BT fights still are.
I don't know man, Turners continuity is a mess. He has under gone several retcon's in the last decade thanks to Batgirl and Shiva, and those fights were Pre Crisis to begin with.
Originally posted by Letters
He still lost the fight. And that's a better example of a fight than Wolverine vs IF.
No its not. Wolverine and Iron Fist fought each other to show case their skill and to see who was better. Wolverine came to Shang-Chi for training to learn to control the Berserker. Completely different scenarios. How on earth is the Shang-Chi a better example of a fight? Because Wolverine lost? Get that tired bias out of here.

How was Wolverine weakened? What does his soul have to do with durability or fighting skill? Still counts as a loss.
His healing factor was barely functioning? Who knows how, the soul doesn't exist, it's metaphysical nonsense... but its real in comics and apparently missing apart of it in comics is detrimental to ones physical and mental well being.
How is it a loss? Wolverine's plan was to flood the ship and escape... which he did. Do all the times Batman was losing before one his plans kick in count as a loss? I don't think so. The fight is a No Contest.

it was a one on one fight bro. And Wolvie attacked DD first. And what proof do you have that its not in continuity?
No it wasn't, it was Spider-man and Daredevil vs Wolverine. That is two on one. That's really basic math. I never said it wasn't in continuity, I said it's an irrelevant piece of PIS, written by Garth Ennis... which it is.

Yea after he got his ass kicked with a group of hand ninjas as backup lol.
Got his ass kicked? He got tackled down the stairs... that's it. Prior to Matt knocking his mind control loss with the dumbbell Wolverine was winning the exchange. He kicked Matt across the room rolling out of the tackle I mentioned above, landed a knew when Matt tried to control his wrists, and slashed him on the exit. The fight stopped because Wolverine was free of his mind control and the reason for the fight was over... not to mention it's implied that Wolverine's job was just to keep Daredevil busy while the killed Elektra, and that he wasn't actually trying to take DD down.

Because you say so right? Sorry bro Wolvie is 1 2 1 with DD. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Because the context of the fights in connection with the forum rules say so. Daredevils one "win" (I'm using the term very loosely) is PIS and irrelevant.

good to know. Wolvie lost to X23 recently as well right? He is sooo skilled!!
No he didn't. He let her beat up on him so she could work some stuff out because he can take it. Do you read these comics, or just look at the art work? There is important text on the pages that gives you the context behind what you are looking at.

Was he? Or was it part of his test?
