Really, when you consider a question like this it's pretty much not a factor of who would just all out win.
Wolverine has had more experience in killing and fighting than cyclops could ever hope to encounter, and even though his memory has been wiped more times than his rear end after a potty session. It would boil down to a few factors in the fight.
~Place~
~what they were fighting over~
~how commited they were~
And by those i mean; Place regards more along the lines of forests or outdoors as opposed to the concrete jungle. Wolverine has the upperhand outdoors and in close quarters. Where as cyclops would have the upper hand in a longer battle field, and cities.
What they were fighting for really puts each in his own element, wolverine in almost every battle with cyclops has held back, going for either "flesh wounds" or not even popping his claws, give him a reason to kill and i'd bet money it would end with cyclops in a pine box 6 feet under really.
Again with the killing part, nothing is more dangerous than a man who not only believes in what he is doing but doesnt think about it, just whole heartedly goes for it. like when you start out in an argument and the side you take is one you deducted from your own logic, once you get into it more it stops being about "the reason" and more about the fight. give wolverine a reason to kill and go all out and he will.
