Let's see shall we

The Bruiser 

When it comes to a bruiser type fighter the one whose stronger and tougher nearly always wins and in this case that person is Luke Cage. While he and Luther are roughly similar in terms of physical strength, Cage seems to be way more durable because his skin can soak damage up like a sponge and it's almost impossible to break through it without some heavy duty military grade weaponry which none of the Umbrella Academy have, let alone Luther who fights solely with his fists. Luther is tough too but he can still be hurt by standard weaponry and in a brawl with Cage he's going to be the one taking the most damage.

The Vigilante 

I'm giving this one to Daredevil. While Diego is a very capable fighter in his own right he seems to be that level below Daredevil when it comes to physicality. While both are at the peak of human fitness it seems as if Daredevil is much more acrobatic and the fact he can dodge gunfire from an Uzi at short range means he should have no trouble dodging the knives or other projectiles Diego throws at him. His superhuman senses mean it's impossible to sneak up on him so Diego won't be able to get the drop on him and also severely compromises his marksmanship skill because he can easily see these projectiles coming. I'd call them about even in terms of fighting ability but again Daredevil's physical advantages means he's going to dominate him in a melee battle and he also appears to be able to take more damage as well. There is nothing really wrong with Diego he is just outclassed by Daredevil.

The Kid

There's no question that in a straight up fight Danny would have this hands down. Nothing about Number Five suggests any sort of great fighting prowess, he's reliant almost entirely on his teleportation abilities in combat. Danny meanwhile is all about fighting prowess, he's trained for years to hone his Chi into a powerful weapon and shape his body into tip top physical condition so when it comes to blows he can outmatch Number Five in both fighting skill and physical ability. However with that being said Number Five possesses teleportation capabilities which is among one of the most overpowered abilities is fiction. He can run rings around Danny and sneak in attacks, either taking him out with one well placed blow to a vital area or just chipping away damage until he's weak enough to finish off. Danny is also kind of impulsive and hot tempered and I could see him being baited into a trap by Number Five and if that happens he's pretty much dead. So while Danny is the better fighter he'll come up short against Number Five, who had the greater tactical ability and more importantly the more dangerous ability.

The Moody One

This one goes to Jessica Jones easily. Klaus is wholly reliant on his conjuring abilities in a battle which he A) can't use reliably and B) aren't all that impressive even if they do work. Jessica meanwhile will easily batter him about with her superhuman strength, probably before he can even start the conjuring process.
