Captain America has has fought the same opponents and had the same results.Where are you getting that Cap has far superior showings? I could agree with you saying Captain America is the better fighter because Marvel has been pushing that for years, that Captain America is supposed to be a top level martial artist on Earth..but when you say silly things like DD isn't getting through his shield and Cap has far better showings against other fighters it makes me wonder what you're actually reading.The only characters Captain America has defeated on a higher scale than Daredevil are superhumans and that has nothing to do with fighting skill only Cap's physical ability which is barely above Daredevil's. Lastly (and this is most important) alot of writers favor Captain America so alot of these wins vs. superhumans have been forced and written carelessly.Spider-Man couldn't beat Rhino with a jumpkick..so how could Captain America? See what I mean?
Cap beat the Hulk with Spider-Man's help..and it's PIS on top of that.
Those extremely hard blows that Cap has used to cut through metal and hurt metahumans are attacks that Cap won't be able to pull off.Daredevil has already proven that throwing a shield at him as a bad idea and the amount of force he would have to swing to duplicate attacks like that...he would have to swing his hardest which will give Daredevil more time to dodge then it would if he is just dodging punches.Daredevil can fight dirty if he wants to.The last person he fought with morals off will never walk again.
Cap has not only never "effortlessly" taken down Daredevil he's never beaten him in a fair fight either.
To be perfectly honest I think at this point that Captain America and Daredevil may be on the same level of combat skill.Cap has never proven to be better than DD in their fights but he's also never done it away from their fights either.They've fought the same people with virtually the same result accept DD actually beat Taskmaster,Cap hasn't and Cap has had more encounters with him.I think that may be due to the fact that Taskmaster is more of an Avengers related villain.Cap's only advantage is physical ability-SLIGHTLY.
Cap has never proven to be more skillful than DD in their fights, and he would easily dodge Cap's shield, and waiting opening for nerve strikes.
I respect both these guys for everything they achieved, and although my fanboyism would vote for Cap more than DD (at least in this moment), when you have their fights which were never clean fights (getting drugged, holding back, being delirious or not being concentrated on the fight and etc...) and against the same opponents, the most objective and the most fair view I can really say is 5/10, not to mention these 2 are not willing to stop holding back since they are allies and/or friends. That's all.
