Hmmm...I'll give it to Wolverine 6-7/10.
That's assuming Conan has the nigh-unbreakable blade, if he doesn't Wolverine wins 9/10.
His healing factor is the key. Conan can hack him up, but he'll heal. Conan's only hope is decapitation/dismemberment, and he's going up against someone with whome he's evenly matched so he'd have to get pretty lucky.
Bottome line: Logan can afford to make some mistakes in this fight, but Conan can't.

Conan had a nigh-unbreakable blade and when he swung at Wolverine's neck, after out-maneuvering (sp?) him, it dislogded one of his vertebre...viola a broken neck. It took Wolverine quite a while to recover from it and in the meantime he suffered quite a bit of brain damage.
That sword had to be magic in order to break Adamantium. . . and for the adamantium to not be able to cut it.

In Wolverine: Snikt! his right arm was burned so badly only his adamantium bones remained; guess what? They were still linked together. Wolverine was still able to use his arm (even though he had to hold it with his left hand). If there is cartilage between his bones that can be severed, than it can also be burned away, and obviously thats not the case.What about New X-Men, E is for Extinction? Nova burned off all the flesh on his right arm, and guess what? the arm bones were still linked together. They didn't collapse or fall off, which is what they would have done had there been connecting ligaments and cartilage.
How about Miller's Wolverine? When Shingen and Logan fight, Shingen aims a sword stroke at Logans' neck; I've been informed that it was later explained (whether by Miller or Claremont, I don't know) that it was an attack that was meant to sever Wolverine's head, by cutting inbetween the connecting bones; but since Wolverine's adamantium reinforces and links those bones, it couldn't cut through.
And lets not forget Blood Hungry.
Or in days of the future past when the Sentinal blasted wolverine leaving behind an adamantium skeleton that was in one piece.

Since the 'What If' is still referenced...the sword didn't damage any of Wolverine's bones in any way. It just dislocated one of them.
Good point about the skeleton holding together. Perhaps there are adamantium filaments? The linking material is how Scott blew his hand off in AOA, since that's going through its anniversary currently.
What can be said? Comic book physics! 馃槢
Well I think it's because of the obvious crap that comes out in some. Like Punisher killing everyone, and Aunt May saving the world. But I've always liked what If's, I think some of them give a very fair comparison of characters. To allow them, we'd have to have widespread knowledge of them so we knew which to dismiss and which to count.
that's what I'm saying, it's on an issue by issue basis. Like Wolvie vs. Weap X was good. Conan vs. Wolvie was good. Conan's fight with Cap was great. And then there's some serious crap like Jane foster being Thor and What If monkey flew out of Prof. X's ass. I thought the Watcher was suppose to be intellegent, but he's come up with some serious crap.

Nah, see, he's got such an advanced mind, that he's suppose to be able to accuratley ponder countless possibilities. But then some crap wrtier gets on the job, doesn't realize that he's writing from the point of view of the watcher (even though he surely has to) and then goes off and thinks what he's writing is actually funny or intellegent.
You really think he's bored? He's got 24 hour ultra digital satelite feed or some crap, he gets to watch absolultley anything he wants (the perv) and has no restricted channels whatsoever. He's the ultimate coach patato.
