The setting would prove to be a huge factor. If it allows The Boss to effectively conceal herself and constantly sneak up on Volgin and catch him off guard with attacks, she alone could win this. Otherwise, both her and Liquid lack the brute force to contend with the Colonel in an open setting.

You mean he briefly fought Volgin in a fight where we don't know what happened? And then later after "getting his ass kicked" he still took on Naked Snake who was armed with an RPG-7 and Snake still couldn't finish him. It took The Sorrow (speculation) throwing down a lightning bolt and the rounds on his chest exploding to finish off the Colonel.

Volgin was coughing up blood from fighting Snake, implying possible internal injuries. With all this and a bullet hole in his head, he still powered up the Shagohod and took RPG-7 rounds from Snake. And Snake STILL couldn't beat him.

Well, people have contested the Volgin tanking RPG-7 rounds. I just thought I’d present the facts.
Fact 1:
Before the second part of the Shagohod battle, we see Volgin’s face. (please log in to view the image)
Fact 2:
Before the second part of the Shagohod battle, we see what weapon Snake is aiming at him: (please log in to view the image)
Fact 3:
The only way to win this boss fight is to attack Volgin himself.
Fact 4:
We see what weapon Snake is holding after the battle. (please log in to view the image)
Fact 5:
Volgin’s face after the battle. (please log in to view the image)
Fact 6:
In newer versions of Snake Eater, an extra scene was added with Snake clearly blasting Volgin with an RPG round.
So there you go. We know what weapon Snake was using. We know Volgin was damaged during the fight. We have an added scene clearly showing it.
Volgin can take blasts from an RPG-7.
Proven.

I don't doubt it. Volgin is durable as hell but it doesn't mean he can't be beaten by the two. Snake did beat Volgin fairly badly to the point he was asking for help. He did have time to recover in the shagohod but it's hard to determine how much he could've taken since as soon as he got hit with that RPG it was like lightning bolt and WTFPWNAGEH4X0RZ!!!

He didn't seem that hurt. He grunted and got up, kinda like all the other times he was knocked down.
He's like a bisexual Russian Jason Voorhees with electrical powers.
Even after the RPG shot he was ready to keep fighting.
I can't se Liquid or The Boss doing that. *shrug*

It's true. Snake is not even peak human in strength, may be in speed, and slightly superhuman in durability, not enough to say he beats 7' tall, tank punching, electricity shooting, RPG tanking rapists.
Snake beating Volgin is being used as an argument, and Snake beating Volgin is PIS and shouldn't be used as a quantifiable feat. So I'll say it all I want.
Snake knocked Volgin down and made him bleed some.
Before this Volgin did the same to Snake.
1 win, 1 loss.
Then Volgin went and survived everything Snake threw at him and it wasn't enough. It took irony to kill Volgin.
