Kurt wasn't really in front line combat as much as John, he usually just trained with the Spartan III's. It also depends on the time, Kurt was never upgraded to Mark VI, let alone bother to wear his Mark V. If it were Kurt in his SPI armor against John in his Mark VI, John would win hands down.
Training new Spartans would hardly dull your skills.
Infact, I think he'd be sharper skill wise then somebody who just did frontline combat.
Opinion, and depends on situation really.
Though, we've seen Master Chief is not the best in hand to hand against things of equal/greater strength.
Opinion, although highly likely in my favor. Would you honestly root for someone with a much less durable armor with no shielding technology? The only advantage I can see the SPI has over the MJOLNIR is the cloaking abilities, although judging from Ghost of Onyx, it was hardly effective.
On the other hand, the MJOLNIR has much more durable battle plates and of course shields along with automatic biofoam injectors. These factor alone could determine the entire battle.
Although if you pit these two spartans together with the same armor variant, I would still give it to John. Kurt has not demonstrated any better in the field of hand to hand combat than John. Saying John has a difficult time in the field of Hand to Hand also applies to Kurt as his status on such has not been determined.
If it were William against John at hand to hand, Will would win, he specializes in it, Kurt specializes in leading a force, while also having a great skill in weaponry, but in all honesty, every spartan is. Kurt is nothing special aside from another Spartan, while John has a speciality in leading AND assault. He's seen more warfare than every other Spartan in Class I.
