To be honest I haven't watched Trek since I was in elementary school, but I gotta go with Mal...Kirk'd be too busy overacting and like somebody said already, getting his shirt off. He'd be waxing poetic and Mal would knock him down...or more likely just shoot him Indiana Jones style. On the other hand, if you let him have a phaser he might do better.

In an old fashioned fist fight, Mal would win.
Reason?
He'd bring a gun.

The Kirk-fu chop is always a good way to defeat opponents. And in the few moments we've seen Mal at hand to hand combat, he really didn't put up that much a fight. Even Simon could take him out.
But if it were an honest gun-fight, no question about it. Mal would definitly win.

C'mon, who's a lit-tle fear demon?
GILES: Don't taunt the fear demon.
XANDER: Why? Can he hurt me?
GILES: No, it's just… tacky.

I'll have to go with Kirk. Mal was never about the butt-kicking. That's what Jayne is there for.

Please, Kirk never faced a down and dirty deceiver like Mal here.
While Kirk is giving a 'we are not animals' speech to the Q complete with wavy hands and poignet pauses.
Mal would wait till Kirks back is turned and kick him in the happy place followed by some haymakers in the kidneys.
While Kirk is curled up on the ground in pain Mal would set in some kicks for good measure.
First rule of a fist fight, win.
Second rule of a fist fight, hit first.
Third rule of a fist fight, if your opponet cant hit you, even better.
Hell who are we kidding, Shepard Book could take the Kirk.

I'm going to have to put my money on Kirk. Mal is more of a dirty "take advantage of the situation" type of fighter. If they were placed on random planets and had to seek each other out sort of fight, I'd give the nod to Mal...
Kinda like a Batman Vs Superman fight. If they just met in a bull ring, someone yelled fight, and they went at it, Batman would get clobbered. If Batman decided it was time for Superman to die, Superman would be dead.
Summery:
Batman = Malcolm Reynolds
Superman = James Kirk
Mal + an Arena + Superman = Superman wins
Batman + Mal + Superman + Kirk + planet wide fight = Mal + Batman playing checkers in the Batcave
Me + head trauma = this post

In terms of the Tribbles: Since they tend to mess with peoples' emotions, I am guessing that they would make the Reavers more aggressive. Next thing you hear, the Reavers have taken over the world with their band of Tribbles ~_^
Spock would use his logic to run circles around Mal. After awhile of listening to him, Mal would send him to speak with Inara or Book after growing impatient ^_^

Kirk was only effective against villains who fought in slow motion like he did. If the altercation took place at modern fight scene speed, Kirk would still be circling with his arms spread, waiting for that ctitical moment when Mal would throw a horribly overextended right hook and teeter forward off balance so that Kirk could raise his hands together for the traditional two-fisted whatchamacallit. Mal is no superhero, but I think he's quick enough to handle Kirk's style, especially since he'd cheat. Now Sisko, of course, would flatten Mal. Sisko versus Jayne, or Tauress versus Zoe, or maybe Badger versus Quark, now those would be good fights!
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm twelve?
