I've never seen an episode of 24, I am aware of Bauer's listed background, Delta Force, CIA and whatnot.
Watch the video ^

Having said that, it means nothing much here, as McClane on paper is just a cop, yet cops definitely don't do the shit he did that we actually see. AS Farrell said unbelievably, "you're a cop!?" We all agree that screen feats are > than titles?
Actually it does matter since most of McClane's successes all come from luck or circumstances in the plot. He is more skilled than the average cop, but in a fight vs any highly trained operative whether it is Jack Bauer, James Bond, or Jason Bourne he'll get destroyed since he doesn't have his luck to lean on. All the elite have been shown on film to win by simply outclassing their opponents in skill and tactics.
This is not the main point though, Jack Bauer's feats speaks for himself.
Is Jack Bauer more badass than McClane? Well, it sounds like a rhetorical question.

As for damage soak and toughness? Jack absolutely shits on McClane. Just going by the most recent season, Jack gets stabbed in the abdomen, then he lets himself get captured and tortured just so he can find out where the bad guys were hiding, he then escapes and takes out the whole Russain mob. This was only like the early part of the season, he continues for the rest of the season with those injuries like nothing happened. This is just one instance, there are countless many others.
