He could hit him with his wings...a goose can break a mans hand with it's wings, what would happen to Wolverine if Archangel would hit him? He actually holds his power because he could kill a normal human with flap of his wings. Archangel is basically faster then any bird. Needletail swifts can fly with speeds of 219 mph, Archangel can fly away, gain speed and then swoop at Wolverine.
He could still knock the air out of Wolverine's lungs if he could aim the hit right. And then swoop/attack him with his sword.
Archangel's primary power is that of flight. His wings have superhuman strength and can create enough lift to enable him to carry at least twice his own weight. They have a very flexible skeletal structure, enabling him to press them to the back of his torso and legs with only the slightest bulge visible under his clothing. His bones are hollow, he processes food more efficiently than normal humans and does not store any fat, he possesses a greater proportionate muscle mass than normal, and his superhumanly sharp eyes can withstand high-speed winds which would damage the average human eye. His lungs can extract oxygen from the air at high velocities or altitudes.While he generally flies below the height of clouds, Archangel can reach almost twice this height with little effort. At his absolute maximum, he can reach the highest recorded altitude of a bird in flight - about the height above sea level of Mount Everest - but he can only remain that high for several minutes. He can fly nonstop under his own power for around half a day.
As the result of a secondary mutation, Archangel also developed a "healing factor" and can heal others by mixing his blood with theirs, although this mutation varies in potency - at times, he cannot aid the terminally wounded, at others he can actually raise the newly dead. Also, in the story which revealed that Nightcrawler is the son of the mutant which is the source of all Satan legends, Archangel attempted to heal Nightcrawler with his blood, which actually harmed Nightcrawler, indicating that Archangel may actually be an angel.
Is the only difference with the current Archangel to the former is regaining his natural wings and a souped up healing factor? I give Wolverine the advantage.
Flight speedblitzing Wolverine who is capable of removing with great precision the cape off a speeding Storm without injury to her person has a good chance of doing servere damage to Archangel. Also, when he faced the former Archangel when his wings were behaving "wild" on his own and the fact that his healing factor was neutralized, he still put up a good fight (albeit eventually a losing one).

I'm kind of leaning towards archangle.. he can just go in the air and "drop bombs".... on poor ol logan... pretty simple if you ask me...
Is bombs part of his arsenal?
This actually would be an interesting fight. Angel could easily fly around, but I don't think he'd be able to take Wolverine out with anything from the air. If he swoops down, I'm pretty sure Wolverine is quick enough to get some good slashes in or just grab Archangel. Since archangel can't stay in the air all day, he'll have to land eventually. Wolverine will still be in perfect condition and would kill him on the ground.
I think Wolverine has an edge here.
Wolverine 8/10.

oh also when they foguht besides the fact wolverines healing factor was gone he was almost dead. jean had said a comic befor that he was very close to dead. also wolverine could of killed archangle but he was only aiming at his wings which wolverine commented on would be far harder then killing archangle.
