It's a little like askin' who would win between Kirk and Picard (Kirk, of course), but it ain't as simple.
Jayne has brawn and cunning; Mal's just plain smarter.
With no guns, out on a street, and neither drunk, what's your call?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
My granma will whoop 'em both good, with one hand behind her back.
Or Mal, cause he just seems to fight better...

In a fair fight, Jayne. He's stronger. Unless Mal could rope-a-dope him.
In an unfair fight--well it depends on the way in which it's unfair. A savage kick-'em-in-the-nuts, eye-gouging kind of fight, Jayne. A use-any-resource-available kind of fight, Mal. Because he'll be smart enough to recognize and utilize those resources.

So, Jayne would be Bruce Lee to Mal's Jackie Chan?
I'd have to go with that.

I don't know what would make Jayne raise a hand to Mal,
Jayne has a strong respect for the chain of command:
he doesn't admit to Zoe's superiority,
but he definitely recognizes that Mal is the alpha dog.
I think that that level of respect would always make Jayne hesitate and Mal win.
If something happened to make Jayne totally forget who Mal is,
THEN Jayne would win, he is stronger, bigger, and more ruthless (and would fight dirty).
Mal is way smarter, but in a real fight I'm not sure that that would make the difference.
Gina points out that Zoe would always beat Jayne,
she'd just have to take off her shirt and Jayne would stand there dumpfounded giving Zoe plenty of chance to sucker punch him and take him down.
heck, I'm pretty sure Inara could beat Jayne in that same way (plus good w/a sword!)

Jayne would win because he would cheat and use a gun or knife.

Ah, but you forget... Jayne FEARS Mal.
He's afraid of him, really - watch his reaction when Mal strongarms Wash in OOG?
The incident at the end of Ariel likely didn't do wonders for Jaynes courage either.
It'd still be close, but in order to win a fight like that, you have to believe you can do so.

Well. Mal is probably more important to the overall story of the show so if it was to the death he would win! :D
