Nightwing: "Let's be friends and fight evil on the streets."
Nighthawk: "Go f**k yourself, snowflake."
Nightwing: "Huh? My costume is dark blue, what's snowfl..."
(Nighthawk kicks him in the nuts. Nightwing groans and keels over.)
Nighthawk: "You motherf**king honkeys love to talk. You don't win by talking. Stay home and polish your teeth, cracker. I got some lilly-white scum to punish."
Nightwing: "You're...very...hostile."
Nighthawk: "Kiss my black ass. And get a different name, s**thead. Night is taken."

We've only got handbook stuff on him. Supposedly he's an expert martial artist. He's strong enough to rip a man's ears off with ease.
Ripping off a man's (or woman's for that matter LOL) ears off ('with ease'😉 is actually very simple.
In Krav Maga it is one of the self defense techniques taught, and as long as you know the angle it is very easy.
And that is in the real world.
In comics Nightwing has done things that make 'peak human' seem like an inside joke(and honestly I think it is some inside joke in DC when it comes to the 'Bat family' .....all the members, even Oracle, do things that are simply NOT peak human but much much more), thus ripping ears is a simple task for him.
Anyways, with that said, ON PAPER (meaning pure stats) I actually think NightHawk SHOULD win.
However based on feats and examples Nightwing should win (particularly due to the fact that there is not that much out there on NightHawk).

Don't you know - Nighthawk is practically a black racist, who only helps black people when they are attacked by white people. He's slowly growing and becoming more accepting, but he's an angry man. Even looked down on the Blur, calling Stan a "house negro, pandering to the master."
Nighthawk is hateful, intolerant and a bigot, perhaps. But he's incapable of being racist. Racism refers to beliefs, practices, and institutions that discriminate against people based on their race. "Racism" as a term is applied only to the dominant group in a society, because it is that group which has the means to oppress others. And yes, he hates whites because it was a HATE crime that initiated the death of his parents. It was a racially motivated crime. Not just some one picking another out by chance.
Nighthawk would hold his own. 😉

Yes, being bigoted is closer than being racist, for him. He has white people in his company, but we see he doesn't like to associate with them. The hate crime from his younger days has scarred him, and it will be an evolution for him to accept others better.
