Hood is definitley the better H2H combatant, but doesn't have the expierience or agility that Wing has... that being said, he'll be able to keep up well enough to take the win.
Red Hood imo is a better fighter. Thats it though. Dick still is more agile, has way more experience and isn't dwarfed enough by Jason in skills for it to be a curbstop. In an all out match Dick's combination of his skills (agility, quick mind, etc) will score him the win.
He doesnt have better agility no. What i said was that Jason nowadays its more versatible on working on a wider range of abilities than Grayson is. He has good agility and great prep ability and great ability to improvise and...blah blah.
Grayson is in the top 3 of DC`s acrobats but his range of abilities in later years hasent been as wider. Thats why i see Hood bring "more to the table".
I dont agree with Grayson being the # 1 DC acrobat, tho. Always had the feeling that it was Deadman.
I dont chalk that showing higher than it should either, because its clear that Grayson was caugh off guard with the whole situation. However the last two drops on Grayson in the streeth alley were impressive for a rookie Jason, one has to admit.

Yeah it was a good showing for Jason, I just don't like people saying he owned Nightwing there or that Jason was better than Nightwing at that point. But Jason managing to escape and get away (temporarily) was a decent showing for him, Nightwing did have to save his life a couple of times right after that and it was clear Nightwing was way more skilled then.
Well,No-one with a hint of sanity would say Jason was better,I just say it like that because it pisses of Entity.
Still,the one fight were Nightwing did get the advantage,Jason said he didn't want to fight,so Nightwings wins aren't written in stone either.His agility isn't that much better,since Batman thought Jason was Clayface mimicking Nightwing.Jason has jus been performing at a higher level then NW since his return IMO.
But that Nightwing recuperating thing is wrong....in his latest annual he was well on the road to recovery before he went with Batman on the cruise...
Plus Nightwing is not what Jason wants to be Jason paid out on Nightwing in WW3 and called him a pussy.Jason has his eyes set on being better then Batman,and personally he's shown himself to be closer to that then Dick ever has IMO.
Its not wrong, his injured shoulder is mentioned or shown in issues #125-129 which are set after the Jason arc, two people he fights even notice it and comment on it, I think the last two Nightwing issues are when he has gotten over it. It might be a bit of retconning on Wolfman's part, but he definately established Nightwing was still suffering from the Luthor blast.
