Dick wins. It doesn't matter who comes in 2nd in a death match also.

This is also answered in Battle for the Cowl. Casuals pls
The Deathmatch thing was more because I thought it was a catchy title than anything else, But BFTC is a valid storyline to bring up.

As far as I know, Nightwing has only been trained by Batman (someone can let me know if anyone else has trained him) so he wouldn't be particularly well versed in killing techniques.
Wikipedia on Shrike, a Nightwing villain:

"A member of Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins, the master martial artist Shrike operated a school for killers which he called the Vengeance Academy, teaching young children how to be assassins. After a disastrous encounter with the villain Two-Face forced Dick Grayson to give up his Robin identity, Dick infiltrated Shrike's school, to earn back Batman's trust. Shrike was apparently the one to teach Dick the art of Escrima stick-fighting, as he was first seen using these weapons after training at the Vengeance Academy"

So technically Dick Grayson learned Escrima from the League of Assassins.

Derp. I've actually read that comic and I didn't even know that. Thanks for the info.

So why does Dick win now ?
Dick wins now because he is the most experienced Robin and if you take BFTC into account, that is an important piece of evidence as to why Dick would win, (thanks to GuamoKun for pointing this one out). He's also had training that the others haven't like with Shrike and his Escrimas.

genetically enhanced body, trained in pretty much everything (martial arts, science stuff, etc) since he can remember, he was killing sharks and tigers since he was 5-7 years old. he's trained by the league of assassins and specially talia al ghul.
wtf ?! how was he enhanced ? and wtf is with that crazy training ?

They love my Grayson
Dick Grayson is the best fighter out of the 4.

BUT

The New 52 is shitting on Dick and blowing up Jason. In all ways. Even Tim Drake called Jason his older brother when Tim Drake use to look up to Dick as that.....Dick is losing everything, Damien died, Bludhaven raped....now he's in Chicago and his stories haven't been popping.

But pre-52....Dick smashes every Robin that ever stood.

forget about the genetically enhanced thing. i can't find facts. he's trained to be the best darn assassin and the leader of the league of assassins.
I believe he was actually grown in an artificial womb rather than in Talia's, so you might be thinking of that when you say he was genetically enhanced.

yeah, plus the Heretic (the massive way too strong damian clone) WAS genetically enhanced, according to comicvine. but probably that's just him and not damian.
