Expert's Opinion for Red Skull:

Skull should take this with ease. Despite Cobra Commander's advanced technology, Herr Schmit has things like endurance, strength, and maybe even intimidation on his side. If I was fighting a guy with his skull completely burnt up, plus adding the fact that he can do that to my buddies, while being led by a man that I've never truly seen either, I'd be intimidated.

Let's remember that Red Skull is a copy of Captain America. He has slightly above peak human physicality. So when in a straight up fight against Cobra, he'll be striking harder, moving faster, and be able to take up moore punches than Cobra. Cobra, while resililent, is still a normal human.

Another thing to consider is his experience. Having served in World War II, he's got professional training, while Cobra has no formal military training. Plus, he's been fighting metahumans for years since he was brought back to life as well. Cobra hasn't got those sort of years under his belt as far as I know.

Overall, Skull has this in the bag. Even with inferior tech, he'll take Cobra out with his superior physicality, experience, training, and that classic burnt up face that'll intimidate the Cobra soldiers. Herr Skully wins in this case.
