Honestly, I can see either of them winning, depending on the setting and the goal.
Setting: WWE Ring
Goal: H2H fight to the death
Setting: Empty 42nd St. Subway Station
Goal: Gunfight
Setting: Initech Office Building
Goal: Melee
And before making your decision regarding any of those categories, just consider this about Bauer and McClane:

H2H Bauer kills him effortlessly. Bauer massively outclasses him in fighting skills (snaps necks with ease, both with his hands and feet, and even snapped man's neck by running up all wall). McClane had to struggle and fall down a flight to stairs to accomplish the same. McClane struggles horribly in all of his H2H fights.Also disagree about Damage soak. Bauer has a way higher pain tolerance than McClane. The Chinese tortured him for 20 months with the intent of getting info out of him:

Bauer didn't say a single wordout of sheer willpower and then proceeded to kill 50 people in the 24 hours period of his return, without any rest.
In another proof of Bauer's superior durability to McClane, in LFODH, McClane was shot in the torso and fell to the ground immediately. He was only able to shoot Gabriel because Gabriel, like a dumbass, decided to carry him.
Bauer received a gunshot to roughly the same area and two knife wounds to the abdomen, and was still able to tackle a Delta Force soldier to the ground while tied up and then walk away from the scene
And of course, the face that Bauer rips out people's throats with his teeth 🙂
Gunfight Bauer has shown pinpoint precision in his shots, to where he can shoot the guns out of peoples hands, shoot the locks off doors (while wearing a heavy mask), and even shoot down assault helicopters. And not that pussy "shoot-the-wire" stuff either....Alright fine, that shot McClane made was impressive, but still, doesn't change the main point. Bauer and McClane are about equal in accuracy and given that Bauer is a former black ops soldier, I believe he has the edge
MeleeJust look at LFoDH, when he tries to employ melee against Mai Lihn and gets near-instantly disarmed. McClane is only good in melee if his opponent is distracted. Bauer on the other hand has genuine melee feats of using everything in his vicinity from chains, to axes, to screwdrivers, to syringes, to backhoes, to his opponents tie, to even biting. Given how easily McClane got disarmed, I'm certain Bauer would maul him, and given that McClane doesn't get to retaliate with a vehicle after getting BFRed, I'm not seeing him win this

This is the conclusion I came up with after examining all of their feats. Maybe there's some variables I'm not looking at, or some feats of McClane's I'm not remembering, but I'm 98% sure that after considering the aggregate sum of both Bauer's and McClane's feats, this is the logical outcome. If there is something I'm not seeing, could you please explain it to me?
