Chief has been fighting with the same odds (except alone a lot of the time) as Fenix for the latter part of his soldier life. Delta was an ordinary COG squad (albeit a very, very accomplished one), the Spartans were the elite soldiers of the UNSC and for very good reason.
While I respect Fenix's experience in combat and warfare, I still have to give this one to MC. He's been in and out of major combat situations since the age of 10 and has been a professional soldier since the age of six.
MC is also much faster, both mentally and physically, and much more durable. He could probably just sprint right through Fenix's rounds and launch an uppercut that separates the mans' head from his shoulders. Remember, this guy can lift/flip f***ing vehicles.
Sorry Marcus, you're awesome and all, but Chief outclasses you pretty hard.

I think a fairer fight would be to give Darth Maul's double edged lightsaber instead of his chainsaw staff. The Energy Sword would just slice right through.
For the sake of argument, both are pretty tough and experienced. Arbiter has more of an edge on experience, he has right at home in close combat situations as he is on the bridge of a ship, and is an accomplished swordsman, having attained the rank of Zealot.
Skorge's actions speak for himself.

Anya was always the hotter one though.

Sargeant Johnson vs. Cole Train
They're both quite capable soldiers and draw fairly even with each other. Johnson's just an ordinary human but his experience and ability in combat is on par with the Master Chief's. Ditto the Cole Train.
Cole Train is obviously stronger and much more durable, but Johnson is more versed in close combat and is wiser and more experienced.
Heck, if the competition was stand-up comedy instead of combat then it'd still be a draw.

They would stalemate in a melee fight.
I'm giving this to the hunter because they have Fuel Rod Guns that they can just use to blast her away, sort of like a forward mounted Hammer of Dawn.

They were acknowledged canon-wise to pack enough strength to rip a Hunter apart (epilogue chapter from Halo: First Strike) and enough durability so that a full clip from an assault rifle doesn't even slow it down (First Strike). Fred (Spartan-104) even put a few bursts point blank into one's face - it 'snarled at him with a mouth full of broken teeth'.

Sires might give you more of a scare, but the Flood combat form packs enough of a punch to send Chief flying into the wall and has incredible leaping power.

Scarab tank vs. Brumak
"It blew right through us - 50 cal, rockets....didn't do a thing."
-UNSC Marine, "Ladies like Armor Plating" cinematic - Halo 2
And judging from that one segment in GoW2, the only weapons available to you as you control the Brumak are heavy machine guns and rockets.
As for the Wraith:
"The UNSC called these tanks 'Wraiths' because you usually only got one look at them before they made you one. They were extremely stable and fired the Covenant's most powerful ground weapon: The Energy Mortar. Fred had seen them in action; they fired an encapsulated blob of plasma that obliterated everything within 20m of impact. Titanium battle plate, concrete, flesh - it all vaporised."
-Excerpt from Halo: First Strike
Considering that the Brumak can't even take two normal mortars or more than a few blasts from a Hammer of Dawn, one plasma mortar would melt its chest open and flash vaporise its innards.
Scarab is also bigger.
