I am just gonna keep this short cause most of the points I will make have already been made.

Jack arguably has better weapons than Michael because of their longer reach. It would be hard-hitting a guy with your knife if your opponent has an axe, after all, however, I think Michael makes up for his lack of range with his strength and durability. Michael has taken gunshots, I don't see a middle-aged man with an axe doing much damage.

Then there are the Overlook ghosts who do give Jack a tactical advantage by manipulating the layout of the hotel and disarming Michael, I don't think they could do much in the way of harming Michael and even if he loses his weapons he still has his superhuman physicality to fall back on. Being incapable of feeling emotion it is also unlikely he will be intimidated by whatever shit they are going to pull.

Lastly, Michael is more of an effective killer. Jack is literally axe crazy just running around and screaming while Michael takes a more pragmatic approach, stalking his prey and jumping out when they least expect it.

In the end, I don't see Jack winning this fight, while the ghost might disorientate Michael I don't think they are enough to get him the win. Deadliest Warrior: Michael Myers
