Actually, no. Batman beat him with reason, he was the only one with a sane mind there. He just said that CA COULD beat him (which is not wrong since the chances are 50-50) but it would take him a very long time (because Batman knows more techniques and fought stronger foes he could predict the possible outcomes of this battle). He never said "You are more skilled" that's BS.If two peers fight, each one of them knows the other one could beat them, though if they are evently matched it would be a very long fight. CA being stronger and faster, Batman knowing more MA techs, being a LOT smarter and having the better agility, is what makes them equals. CA with his Shield and Batman with his Belt would be a different story, where I'm leaning towards Bats.
Batman is more skilled, may be even by a considerable margin. Since he's shown higher mastery and higher level martian arts techniques. Dick stated that Bruce knows every pressure point [Cap doesn't] Batman is also the only person I've seen in either Marvel or DC who can reverse pressure points like he did with Damian and Green Arrow.
Cap has mad skills too though, don't get me wrong, but a vast majority of the human fighters he combats, he physically outclasses. Daredevil, Crossbones, Batroc, Taskmaster, Winter Soldier, Zemo, Red Skull, etc etc of course that isn't to say he doesn't fight characters that physically outclass him, he did beat U.S. Agent who's stronger and is decently skilled himself.
But Bruce consistently fights characters like Bane, Shiva, Deathstroke, Prometheus, Wrath, Ziess, Sensei, characters that can have superior or at least comparable physical stats on top of skill.
It's a split IMO. Batman's skill and intellect advantage would balance out Cap's physical advantage. Epic fight indeed.
