Cole is relatively protected from lesser arms such as handguns and the type of rifles that Sam Fisher uses, but Sam has the advantage of surprise and he is by no means bad at strategy. He will get a briefing on what Cole is capable of, though, which is another advantage. Cole is very dangerous if he finds out where Sam is, so its best if he does not.
Sam is a skilled user of explosives, though, among other things. The question would be if Cole is good enough to survive Sam once he engage in combat.
