My original conclusion is that Hancock wins the battle of attrition.
This is because Neo likely isn't strong enough to inflict significant damage on Hancock, and Hancock isn't fast enough to land a hit on Neo. However, Hancock's immortality gives him a decisive edge. Unlike Neo, Hancock won't tire, starve, or age. Neo, being mortal, will eventually succumb to exhaustion, hunger, or the passage of time.
We all agreed that Hancock wins, so we shifted the debate to whether Hancock is faster than Neo.
Yes, Hancock has superspeed and performed the moon feat at superspeed - there's no debating that.
The real discussion is whether this or him being able to travel to the moon in a certain amount of time proves that Hancock is significantly faster than a rifle bullet within the first 50-100 feet of travel.
While Hancock can theoretically exceed any speed given enough time or distance, it's important to note that it's entirely possible to accelerate to the moon in five minutes yet still fail to cover the first 50 feet faster than a rifle bullet under the same acceleration conditions.
From the scenes we've seen, Hancock never surpasses the speed of a bullet within the first 100 feet of travel. However, the speed of a rifle bullet is trivial to Neo in the larger picture. He outflew an explosion powerful enough to level a skyscraper while weaving through a building with sharp turns. He also achieved such incredible speeds that his wake sent countless vehicles flying through the air like debris. Calculating the exact speed required for these feats is difficult, but it's clear that even the fastest jets/rockets in the world couldn't come close to matching it.
I recall several members discrediting Superman's tectonic plate feat, suggesting he likely used a machine or some external assistance. Now, those same members are making assumptions about how Hancock colored the moon and how long it took him, despite the method and timeframe being completely unknown. Feels like a double standard to me.
You need a new thread in which they race each other, then. I didn't notice the topic change tbh

I didn't see anyone argue that Neo wins. Everyone who posted (myself included) stated that Hancock wins. We simply shifted the focus of the discussion.
I implied that neo could win if his hacks can negate Hancock's power, but lean more towards Hancock winning because neo's invulnerability is not passive.
Anyone who would aggressively assert a winner in this thread would definitely be a weapons grade clown, so I hope nobody is trying that
