ok im a percy fan and i will naturally always pick him but i will try to be unbiased.

They are both very powerful but i will not take their powers into account at first, they both have a almost equal chance of winning, purely as swordsmen percy is the most likely to have if only a marginal edge over Jason(though this won't mean that he would win) by the type of training he has, yes Jason had been seen in one on one combat and has done pretty good but his training was geared primarily towards fighting in a group against another group, while percy most of the time goes solo, and i am sorry but it is extremely hard to see 2 year old Jason training with a sword so yeah very unlikely to have a toddler who has barely learned how to walked to already be in training, and about roman training yes it is likely harsher but that does not mean better for example Octavian had 7 lines meaning he had joined at 11 and was the centurion of the first cohort therefore you might logically asume that he was one of the best fighters of the legion, being the leader of the supposedly best cohort at camp jupiter, though the first cohort was not the best their entire system is geared to having the privileged kids in the first two cohorts, when percy joined there was no test to prove his skill, no they said do you have letters of recommendation?, no? to bad go to the fifth and ones the 5th had the attitude they obliterated "the pride of camp jupiter" percy became as good as he was first by natural talent and then purely by experience since he only trained during the summer, Jason likely became so good by arduous training, nevertheless they where on par with each other in their brief fight, percy first got the upper hand because piper distracted Jason, then Jason got the upper had because piper distracted percy and finally percy won because piper distracted Jason.

Both have shown that they can take down more powerful and stronger beings than themselves. i will take Iapetus and Krios as examples, percy was injured, exhausted, had lost a lot of blood and was still more of a threat to Iapetus than Thalia and Nico together and however you want to see it he won the fight, we don't know what events took place leading to Krios's defeat other than Krios's claim that Jason "got lucky" if you can believe him, it could've been circunstancial or not, but lets say that Jason defeated him in a one on one fight purely on his skill, the fact that Krios might have been more powerful does not mean that he was the superior fighter, in the books atlas is physically the stronger titan after Kronos and the best fighter, Hyperion was the most powerful titan after Kronos and maybe atlas(atlas was believed the more powerful after Kronos because Kronos chose him as his general, though i believe that was more because of strategical prowess than power),only a little bit behind atlas as a fighter, Iapetus was the weakest of the elder titans but still likely more powerful than atlas(his son). both Iapetus and Krios where extremely good fighters however you see it, and where both defeated. percy later showed that he didn't need the curse when he single handedly defeated Polybotes,one of the 3 strongest giant(i don't count terminus as doing something he was simply smashed into the giant), percy had a significantly easier time defeating Polybotes(than even poseidon had in the first war where he had to throw a mountain at him to defeat him) than Jason had with Enceladus (it is stated Jason would have lost without the interference of zeus), they were both equally effective when dealing with the twin giants and Jason with the help of Annabeth and piper managed to defeat 200 spirits though i don't think it is superior to percy defeating 100 constantly resurrecting ghosts. Furthermore percy does have more experience fighting immortals and all around powerful beings, he defeated ares(yes he only injured him and ares was toying with him but the facts remain than ares admitted defeat when he left the helm of darkness which he said he would only give if he was defeated, he also said so to frank), i also don't count Phobos since he was said to be a terrible duelist, also percy does have superior reflexes to Jason, come on he deflected bullets with his sword he must of had an instant reaction time to pull that off, as he has superior strength(choking a snake as a toddler with his bare hands, breaking the minotaur's horn, holding the whole dam sky) i say he has superior this and that since we have as of yet not seen anything from Jason that surpasses or even matches this. On Jason accomplishments yes maybe they are not the only ones he has had but they are the most impressive otherwise he would of used other examples to intimidate Porphyrion. so what we can get from this is that percy does in fact have more experience than Jason even if not as much training still don't think he has trained for 12 years maybe starting when he was 5 to 7 i would accept he may of joined the legion at that time doesn't mean he was already training. percy effortlessly decimated the romans who may of been taken by surprise by his style, i would wonder how a rematch would of gone with them somewhat knowing what to expect. Jason training was mostly gone towards outlasting the enemy and analysing patters and when getting a hang of it counterattacking like Jason did Lityerses, though unlike Lityerses who had no defence percy's defences are nothing to be laughed at since are extremely good managing to keep extremely powerful beings and superior fighters in check while he thinks a way to get out of his predicament.

In a purely sword battle what you have to see is whether percy(the superior duelist) would be able to break through Jason defences, Jason would be kept mostly on defence trying to find a way to counterattack analysing percy's style, but he wouldn't be able to find a pattern with percy's unorthodox style and would eventually try to go into attack himself arguing that eventually percy would be able to break through, he would attack but everyone of his strikes would be blocked, parried or evaded. percy would remain in defence for a time looking for openings and once he finds one as small as it may be, he would exploit it fast enough that Jason wouldn't be able to react in time and we would be left with no other son of jupiter. purely swords percy wins.

Now to powers, first lets get it clear, percy IS the most powerful demigod of the time, stated by hazel who even though already knew Jason she had said that until the time that she met percy her brother had been the most powerful demigod she new. Nico said the same in the mark of athena stated that even among the seven percy is the most powerful demigod he ever met lets not forget that dear ol Nico has also met theseus (no argue with Nico), Jason stated that he didn't know what to do to lead the seven because he had always been the leader but he had also always been the most powerful and that he didn't know what to do when handed the task of leading the seven “Being in this crew of seven…I’m not sure what to do. I’m not used to being one of so many, well, equals.”. don't get me wrong Jason is extremely powerful just not to the level of percy, but that does not mean percy would win since having more power does not mean that this power can be useful in battle,

first percy Can cause earthquakes, massive or contained hurricanes, can control water and use it to make water blasts, shields and even solidify it to make construct and walk over it, he has water immunity, can breathe underwater and can create water out of his own power,has limited control over wind and lightning, can also control water in your body and is healed by water and given superhuman strength, stamina, speed, agility and clarity, while on this state he IS more powerful than ares, to people arguing about wether or not he has earthquake powers or if the want to argue about him being more powerful than ares while on water, this was all taken from riordan wiki (except the part of controlling water in body that is just because of the fact that he got the water out of Jason i think). now Jason He can control air use it to make ropes, to fly, and making air blasts he also has control over lightning and immunity toward it and can also create storms and can even control venti and use them to even breath underwater(guys this is what i found also from riordans wiki). The fight would start purely with their chosen weapons, Jason would be in the defence and would soon realise that this can't keep up or he'll loose so he calls to the winds and blasts percy back and going airborne to have some time to think how to best proceed he throws static electricity at percy keeping him on the move and giving him no time to to think of of a counter Jason feels grateful that there is no water around and therefore percy cannot attack him at all, Jason creates an air rope and pulls percy toward him at the same time he goes forwards and delivers a humongous kick to the stomach getting the air out of him, percy falls back to the ground and shakily stand up concentrating in not throwing up Jason sees an opportunity, he yells and lighting falls down through the sky, connects with his sword, Jason points it at percy the lightning strike goes in his direction and percy only has time to marginally widen his eyes, he is blasted back, Jason is tired that lighting really drained a lot out of him, but he feels triumphant he has done it, he won, he catches his breath and then turns to look at percy determined to make sure he is down, what he sees surprises him percy is on his feet smoke going out of him, he looks angry, percy yells and although Jason is in the air and is not affected by the earthquake he can see the trees and surrounding shaking and a crack opens up in the ground and a geyser of water come out percy uses it aiming water blast after water blast at Jason, Jason evades and evades more water keeps coming out of more cracks until it reaches percy’s shin, percy seems frustrated that he cannot hit Jason, suddenly percy gets an idea he moves his arms in a circular fashion the wind starts to pick up, the water is rising before he know it Jason is in the middle of a full blown hurricane, the wind is buffeting him from one side to the other, he tries to gain control of the wind but it's too powerful too erratic it's fighting him like it does not want to be controlled, this time Jason is buffeted to the ground where he lands painfully, the hurricane stops but he does not have time to think percy is on top of Jason with lightning speed, Jason blocks and a jolt goes though he arms making it somewhat numb, Percy seems to have become stronger, percy keeps at it, Jason can barely defend, Jason then remembers something he learned at camp jupiter, water conducts lightning and with a last effort propels himself upwards into the sky at the same time evading an attack that would of chopped off his head and calls upon all his power, a gigantic bolt of lightning come from the heavens so powerful that it illuminates the area around it Jason directs it towards percy, percy notices  what is coming down and tries to evade he know that if he is hit by that he might as well be fried fish, he does evade but when he does out of the corner of his eye he sees Jason stuped with exhaustion but smirking, percy suddenly remembers something he learned in chemistry class, the lightning seems to be going in slow motion and he has one single thought 'dry'. the entire place is illuminated and explosion rings in the ears of both guys percy was blasted backwards even when he was not hit, Jason was also blasted backward but manages to steady himself enough, the light diminishes and Jason looks on in anticipation and he cannot believe what he sees percy is some distance away from the crater that was left behind, he looked exhausted but alive and well looking a little bit smug. percy can't help but feel smug at the expression Jason is puling and cannot believe that actually worked, thinking quickly percy uses the water to form water whips that pull Jason back to the ground even that simple act makes his gut scream in protest and almost makes him pass out, Jason is to exhausted to resist once in the ground percy sloppily goes for the attack Jason is so exhausted that he barely puts his sword up to block and percy uses that same technique Luke taught him what seemed an eternity ago i slid my blade towards the base of the sword and with the little strength i had left i twisted putting my entire weight into a downward thrust, and the sword fell out of Jason hand, percy gave a turn and in the same move he drove his sword straight into his side under his rib cage, Jason fells down a blank lifeless look in his eyes.

First time i wrote something like that. That is how i think  most situations would play out, so sorry for the horrifically long post i hope it does not count as fan-fiction just tried to create the situation of the fight, just so you know i may have the worst grammar you have ever seen (second language) tried to be unbiased really tried.
