Carter wins. Yeah, Buck is pretty badass, how he assassinated that Brute Chieftan, but the Chieftan was distracted and was only able to finish the job after two other ODSTs helped.
And all that, 'If he was any better, he'd be a Spartan' is just bull to me, it's just fan fiction fun to get you excited about and like the character, and be interested in him because he is an exceptional ODST, but that doesn't stack up to a Spartan, they're exaggerating.
Of course there's no way he'd be a Spartan, he'd need, hmm, lets see at least another 4-5 years of training, which still wouldn't be enough because Spartans were trained from the age of 6, exposed to violence and death when they were young children.
And it don't matter, Spartan III, Spartan II, II's are just more experienced because they've been around longer, and III's get crap armor, and are sent on (literally) suicide missions at the age of 12. Carter didn't have to go through that because he stood out from the rest of the Spartans and was put into Noble Team, but they went on extremely hard missions as well and didn't receive Mark V armor until 2551.
Carter could skin Buck alive and not break a sweat, outrun him and move faster than him by a factor of at least 5.
Buck's dead.
Yeah, he's badass, but at the end of the day, he's just a grunt, and Carter's a war machine.
