Well lets see

Close range: I don't know much about the swords but i know that both men proeley recived the same training for them. No edge here. Edge Tie

Mid range: The boarding pike can be thrown and used as a close range weapon. Edge Blackbeard

Long range: The musket hasa longer range, is more reliable and a rifle is usally better than a pistol. Edge Horatio Nelson

Overall i say Nelson. He has the better firearms which will make all the differeance in this fight. Nelson will win with 600 kills to his name with blackbeard only getting 400.
