Judge's are supposed to be pretty enhanced themselves.
Comic wise, I believe the crossover's with Batman count on Dredd's end, in which case he pretty much toyed with Bruce. (Was specifically trying to keep him from getting killed, so not really fighting to win, while Batman WAS.)
Then there's the Dark Judge's. They're pretty out there.
Dredd's got a lot of history with vampires and the like, I don't think Blade would offer too much he hasn't beaten the crap out of many times before.
There are certainly some high-end portrayals of Blade where his enhanced stats are played up which would be a bit above Dredd's typical batting range in pure h2h, but there are others where he comes across as far less impressive. I'd back Dredd to at least break even overall, although admittedly I've read a shit-ton more Dredd than Blade.
Cheers.

where would you put dredd as far as strength?
They aren't superhuman. Most of them are just regular dudes, although they are taken for intensive training at a very early age and clock about 15 years of it before they have their first day on the street.
Dredd is a bit different as he is a clone from as perfect a genetic stock as exists. There's been a few implications down the years that he is something approaching "peak human", although I don't believe that the term carries the same implications as it does in Marvel. He's definitely not as strong or fast as Cap, but he's right up there with every other top unenhanced guy across the board IMHO.
Cheers.
Originally posted by Flyattractoryou're going to have to explain how that's impressive. Blade has staked dracula and wolverine with ease, beaten on a vampire that was overpowering spider-man, beaten a demon lord, casually walked off getting eviscerated, and stomped on deadpool.
[b]Dredd's punched Actual Dracula in the nose.He can take this.

Blades also hard to gauge because he's not a guy that routinely runs around doing team ups or bothers when big bads come knocking. Theyre about even and dont surpass each other dramatically in any particular area. So in rd 1 slight edge to dredd in rd 2 slight edge to blade. I wouldnt be upset to any variation of the outcome. Jus so long as noone says either stomps

^ Dredd didn't 'beat' the Predator -- it got right back up afterward, and their fight was interrupted before anything else could happen.That said, Dredd certainly looked like he got the better of it... Which is still a HUGE feat, tbh.
they were exchanging blows and then dredd beat him to the point he was on top of him. basically out pumle him preety good. it was clearly a feat of dredd overpowering a predator in a fist fight. just to make a predator feel your punch takes some real power not to mention out punch one. i think by that feat he was clearly enhanced level.
Originally posted by Dareangelit isn't as cut and dry as that. Dredd was bloodlusted and pissed off that the predator killed one of his fellow judges. He didn't even know that it was a mercy kill. The predator knew that they were on the same side but dredd didn't.

It's worth pointing out that the first time Dredd went head-to-head with a Predator (in a far more extended battle) he looked competitive but certainly not equal, never mind superior, physically.
As an aside, *that* was a good crossover - so much better than the ongoing Dredd/Pred (and Aliens) story. IDW do a lot of good things these days but they just don't "get" Dredd unfortunately.
Cheers.
