Somehow KP is superhumanly strong and durable. As well as at least near peak human athletically. I don't know why, but he is. And he's a great fighter, too. I'd say he wins.
Kingpin beat Red Skull. RS couldn't even hurt him by kicking his legs or stomping on his insteps... He often gives Spidey and Daredevil problems, and again, he held his own against Silvermane, who's what, a 15 tonner?
Bane's ripped a man's arm of and beaten him to death with it while not on Venom, which was pretty goddamn impressive. He's stalemated Batman while not on Venom once IIRC, he manhandled King snake, and he's done a bunch of other shit in Secret Six that's basically superhuman.
Oddly enough, KP'S ripped a guys arm off and beat him with it, too. Not to mention hanging with various superhumans. But I get you point. I think KP's a better fighter and just as fast, not to mention way better tacticion.
He's not a better tactician bro. While yes, Bane was portrayed as dumb muscle after his first couple of appearances, he has been definitively restored to the man who broke the bat as of late. That's a tie too. It's a close fight without Venom, with Venom though it's a stomp.
I've never seen him portrayed as anytimi but a brute, but I believe you. I'll agree, then, that he wins. But a stomp? It takes a high meta to stomp KP.
IIRC, when Bane first came out, he was damn intelligent. Literally had a photographic memory (he deduced Batman's true identity in about a year or so), and also came up with the plan of letting guys like Joker, Scarecrow, etc. out of prison so that he could tire Bats out as opposed to taking him on directly (it was how he got the upper hand against Bruce and broke his back, IIRC).
Don't know much about Bane now or more recent portrayals, but I know Bane was a damn good tactician at one point. If he's being restored back to that, then.....yeah.
Could be less impressive then it sounds, considering the strength never came with comparable durability. Or not that I've seen, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Now, if he tanked some attacks or matched his strength, that's another story...
