These two have gone at it before. Daredevil kicked his ass.
Punisher cannot keep up hand-to-hand with Daredevil.
Obviously, Punisher doesn't stand a chance with Daredevil in a hand-to-hand fight. But, this isn't unarmed combat.
Zahit, if Punisher was spraying bullets with various sidearms with the intent to kill, don't you think the odds are a little bit more in favor of Frank?
I disagree.
Imo,daredevil takes it.
k, well, ignoring previous battles, let's look at it this way:
Daredevil:
1. mutagenically heightened senses
2. martial arts fighting skills
3. Daredevil's five sense are heightened to beyond that of even superhumanly enhanced sense. Although Murdock is blind, he can "see" by means of his "radar sense", which acts not unlike sonar. Daredevil is an Olympic level athlete and gymnast, possessing extraordinary agility, endurance, skill and balance. Daredevil's unique fighting style (a blend of ninjitsu, judo and American-style boxing) makes effective use of his Billy Club, which is used as both a baton and grappling hook.
Punisher:
The Punisher is a thoroughly seasoned combat veteran of exceptional skills. A former U.S. Marine Captain with a distinguished combat record who has undergone SEAL (Sea Air Land) training, UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) training, and LRPA (Long Range Patrol) training, Frank Castle is well versed in the arts of warfare and hand-to-hand combat.
Sounds a bit one-sided to me, the balance edging towards DD. What you have to remember though, is that Castle is still ONLY human while DD is above (enhanced senses, radar sense).
