I was initially going to say Brixton, but I am honestly not so sure. The issue with him is he relies heavily on his superior physical attributes over actual skill. Or to put it another way, if you actually gave either Hobbs or Shaw equal stats to him across the board, I could see either actually solo'ing him. And Sunny himself is no slouch in the physical or skill department. He's one of the few live-action stars I have legitimately seen engage six opponents at the same actual time.
Usually in shows or films, groups of fodder still inevitably end up attacking in ones, twos, and maybe threes if the director is really feeling edgy.

Brixton is unhittable to either Hobbs or Shaw in a one on one scenario due to his computerized brain that processes information faster than a human and allows him to perceive things in slow motion while simultaneously calculating trajectories and other information.

Yeah, I know. That's my point. He relies heavily on his upgrades to fight. Not any real particular skill. The fact that two guys who were clearly his physical inferiors kicked his ass once they started working together speaks volumes. And if he does get tagged in the head, that combat AI can get momentarily scrambled (even seemingly affecting his vision), leaving him vulnerable.

It took a lot of hits for the AI to get scrambled though.
True, but Sunny is no slouch when it comes to throwing hands. And once it is knocked off kilter, Brixton is left seriously vulnerable. Not saying Sunny wins here. More like unsure if Brixton wins, which had been my initial gut response. It's a pretty solid fight.

Gonna side with Brixton. He lost to Hobbs and Shaw because they started attacking him at the same time which confused his computer brain. Sunny is alone, so his AI would have no trouble focusing.Sunny is definitely more skilled but I can't see how he lands hits on Brixton.
Yeah, after more thought, I am still leaning towards him myself. The more you tag Brixton, the easier it will get (even more so than with a regular person), but landing just that first hit is going to be a nightmare. My only thing is that, as mentioned, Sunny is much more skilled than he is and has shown to be very adaptable when confronted by physically superior opponents, like during his various fights with different Dark Ones, or when fighting massively numerically superior enemy forces. But it's a lot to ask, even from him. Because while Sunny is pretty damn tough, he isn't tough enough to take a lot of Brixton's hits in return before they start taking a serious toll. We've seen him get stunned by some of the stronger Badlands characters, like Quinn and a number of Dark One characters, on a few occasions.
