The reality of the situation is that Matt will be a legitimate threat for all off three minutes before he starts to tire, while Captain America is still operating at peak levels. Even if Daredevil and Cap were equal in every way save for stamina (and don't kid yourself because they aren't), this fight would still lean heavily in Steve's favour. Captain America is already faster, stronger, more durable and more skilled than Matt, and the gap in their attributes will only increase the longer the fight lasts.
Daredevil would need to take Cap down at the start of the fight to have any shot at winning, and that isn't something that is likely to happen without the aid of a plot device.

Yeah I would agree with that. If DD goes dodge mode, 100% defense he will extend the length of the fight, but the down side is he lowers his chance of an actual victory even more.

i doubt it would make that much difference, i mean, isnt the whole point of a fight to 'be hit less than the other guy', he'd be using his agility anyway. Also lets not forget dodging bullets is one thing, but they move straite and can be anticipated, they don't think and adapt the way an opponent does, not that that need explaining, im just saying DD going 'god mode dodging' isnt that much a far cry from how he fights normally, minimal damage received, mnimal brawling, maximized one shots when applicable.
Nothing that Cap hasnt faced, and cannot counter.

He might get some lucky shots, 2/10?

Dodge mode is more tactical. I'm sure it would help.

Never said that. I believe DD's martial arts skill to be superior, while Cap is arguably the better FIGHTER all-around, considering his physical advantages. Arguably.
Then of course there's DD's radar sense. Throw that in the mix and you have a 50/50 matchup.

I really don't think you can prove that at all.

Isn't this becoming a semantic debate though? There are lots of showings that suggest that Cap is better at martial arts, are we going to automatically lable some of these as fighting feats instead of MA ones?
Apart from stamina the SSS doesn't make that much difference.

Which doesn't really give him that much of an advantage.
