Naah, its not just Wolverine and gambit, Storm is also included, she's a great martial artist. Lets not forget she out fought marrow without even using her powers and then she beat cyclops the f*** up and embarrassed him without using her powers (cyclops was using his optic blast).
Then the rest of the xmen that is on this list has been through training throughout there time on the xmen and has also been trained by wolverine and SHOWS this throughout all of there battle.
personally, I see Bats & WW holding it down for the JLA against most of the other 2 teams........but it would really just be them when it comes to straight-up MA skillz.
I dont consider Storm a martial artist, even tho shes shows to be a good combatant; same for Gambit.
Thor should be a HELL of a fighter, and I'll allow that Hawkeye could likely hold his own too.
no matter wat tho, no team is taking this easily, so anybody trying to play that card needs to re-think things.
Rogue is actually very skilled, with their powers removed she and Gambit once easily fought their way out of a bar full of armed thugs in Xtreme x-men.
this is a none fight, Wolverine could take out 3 members of the jla (not including batman) by himself. Gambit and storm or rogue can stalemate bats until wolverine is done, the rest of the jla are none factors. The avengers are none factors except thor but he cant hold an entire team by himself.
I haven`t read the issues myself but summaries have described Rogue displaying "exceptional" h2h skill while depowered in X-treme x-men 32-35 and 41-42 as well.
Anyway I take back what I said about Jean being useless, as an original X-men she will have training on par with the others. Physically weak maybe but an experienced MAist is always a force to be reckoned with and can easily take out far stronger unskilled opponents. That goes for Cap without the serum and Wanda too (she has serious training hasen`t she?)

The xmen win this with a stomp and its all due to the danger room, shiar technology. They train EVERY day under some heavy pressure THEN they also receive training from wolverine which has been shown numerous of times.
