Other from the obvious - well, the obvious is kind of what differentiates the four you noted.
So I'll assume we're talking about A) they're fighting for some reason, and B) they're battling all out.
What skills do they possess? All are in perfect physical shape*. All are familiar with at least a few fighting skills. Most have special enhancements, and Batman has his brain and his utility belt.
*By nature of the super soldier serum, Captain America is always in perfect physical shape.
I'll preface this by noting that I feel Mr. Byrne was entirely correct that Batman and Captain America (or Bruce and Steve) might battle evenly for a few minutes - until they realized who they were fighting, and agree to stop. But this seems to relegate this to just "Let's you and me fight!"
Daredevil's martial abilities are hand to hand, gang style, and perfectly suited against more normal villains.
Iron Fist studied the martial arts of K'un L'un, which I think are superior to Daredevil's skills.
Batman has learned 'most every martial art, and has the utility belt, nightsight lenses (among so many other gimmicks), and his brain. Not that any of the others are dummies... but Batman's only power is his intelligence, and he uses it to best effect.
Captain America is a combat veteran, against Nazis, Hydra, Kree, Skrull, and so many others - and I am pretty sure he learns from everyone he battles. He knows more combat styles than anyone. He is just the ultimate battle man... even more so than Batman.
So my choice is Cap - again in a total out and out fight with no other considerations.
There are a lot of other fighters - Robin, Nightwing, Black Canary, Wildcat, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Karate Kid, Shang-Chi, Hawkeye**, the Shroud, Nighthawk, Moon Knight, the Falcon, Black Widow, the Winter Soldier, and so many more. I think Batman or Captain America beat any of them***.
**Yeah, I know that Hawkeye has his bow, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Nighthawk and Falcon can fly, and so on. I believe we're putting those aside for this circumstance. ***Batman vs. Robin? Cap vs the Falcon: Geez...
And then Wolverine. Mr. Byrne was right... all a combatant needs to do is get him angry, and it becomes all instinct. Not enough to outsmart Batman or Cap.
I think brains and experience combine to show the best fighting ability... well, and a friendly writer!
