Another thing I wanna mention is garou can spam attacks like he did against dark shine and go into rage mode, if he uses both the water polo and whirlwind fist he gets relentless and doesn't give zoro any time for counters. I vote garou.
 
I’m assuming your talking about analytical prediction, it’s just a worse version of observation haki.
Analytical prediction yes. Someone earlier said he was listed as a precog user, but I don't see that now that I look. He also has enhanced senses, I'm not sure if that means we assign him the same ability the OPM samurai have (to sense enemies and attacks they shouldn't physically be able to detect).
 
Zoro.

Both are similar enough in terms of skill, and neither combatant has faced against opponents with similar skill sets. Zoro is leagues and bounds above any swordsmen Garou has faced, but hasn't faced any hand to hand fighters like Garou.

Also Zoro's Durability Negation being "Possible" is there to avoid NLF's, he can still utilize it in combat against fleshy foes. His strikes can slash apart foes who are made of steel, a material that's inherently harder to cut than flesh. It doesn't help Garou that Zoro has regeneration negation and in character he attacks the neck and head. (Usually going for decapitation or slashing his foes in half.)

Tatsumaki attacks are also gonna help Zoro out here tremendously as Garou hasn't been shown to deflect wind based attacks, let alone giant twisters of highly composed razer sharp wind slashes.
Right well voting Zoro FRA
 
Getting his heart and lungs crushed, being burned inside and out, getting holes put through his abdomen (and presumably organs if Garou still has mostly human physiology). Maybe Zoro could fight through those, but his endurance feats that I know like severe blood less and pain resistance aren't the same as getting your vitals potentially ruined
 
Also worth noting that these injuries may not necessarily phase Garou, the hole in his abdomen was still open when he started evolving against Orochi

Pretty sure garou can adapt extremely quickly to fighting styles can can copy techniques by just looking at them so I think he's more skilled.

Garou's whirlwind fist is air manipulation and literally uses the same principle that the tatsumaki attack does. Garou can also fuse this technique with water polo fist.
 
Zoro can only see extremely briefly into the future and instinctive reaction would mean that the body reacts to the threat by itself so what ever zoro attacks with.
 
He doesnt, but Zoro being able to precog Garou movements doesnt means that Garou instincts can't avoid the hits, unless you are trying to argue that Zoro has fate hax
that’s not how it works, the future is set in stone unless you have destiny manipulation or something like that. If Zoro saw the future, even for a brief moment, unless you have the ability to change the future in some way, whatever he throws at you will land.
 
You didnt got the point, yes, speed is equalized, but Garou increases his speed, AP and others stats due his Reactive Evolution, so, during the fight itself, Garou is becoming stronger and faster
this is from the versus page, Garou is the slower character here:
During a match where speed is equalized, speed amplification techniques are allowed, unless they lead to a victory via Speed Blitz in favor of the slower character.

Nah dude, I mean, I know how the future is set, Zoro indeed can see the future and precog garou movements, but in the moment that he tries to attack Garou, Garou instincts will just avoid the hit

"The user, if imperfect with seeing the future, can not predict what will happen if they change their actions to respond to a predicted enemy attack. This also becomes prominent when even an advanced user is against an opponent with comparable or even superior levels of precognition. (Such as when Luffy could dodge Katakuri's attacks early in their fight)"
Zoro is proficient at observation and not advanced so this applies to him.

that is if Zoro were to go against someone who could see the future as well or better then he can,(to prevent futuresight paradoxes) this doesn’t apply to garou.
 
Pretty sure garou can adapt extremely quickly to fighting styles can can copy techniques by just looking at them so I think he's more skilled.
His technique mimicry here is useless, Garou cannot copy Santoryu due to lacking swords to actually utilize it. And again, he's never been shown to adapt to opponents who are on Zoro's level in terms of skill.
Garou's whirlwind fist is air manipulation and literally uses the same principle that the tatsumaki attack does.
Not really, Whirlwind Fist pales in comparison to Tatsumaki, Tatsumaki is composed of air sharp gusts of air that can cut cleanly through steel and has much more AoE, and without swords he can't utilize Tatsumaki.
Garou can also fuse this technique with water polo fist.
Which is irrelevant due to the reasons above.
