    Daleks are masters of time travel and even fought a time war against the Timelords

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
      -Lord Commander Solar Macharius

      The Borg are better than the Daleks in only one respect. The Borg are better at dying.

      Ground combat. The Borg may have the edge with space combat, however.

      Daleks

      Even without time travel I think the battle would favour the Daleks.

      Apparently that wasn't a power the Daleks had. They had allies who could but didn't have that power themselves. At least during the Time War. Later on things change.

      Where did you hear that from? Daleks have had Time Travel and Time Manipulation technology since the Hartnell-era.

      Hmm???

      Daleks originally used 'Time Corridors' to move through time, jumping from 'A' to 'B' ... then at some point they built their own version of the Tardis to hunt down the doctor. Now we're at a point where your average Dalek can jump through time. Hell we even have two Daleks to specialise in time related technology, The Dalek Time Controller and the Dalek Eternal.

      ( 8:00 for time travel )

      Fairly obvious one, since the Daleks laid waste the Cybermen, they'd clean the Borg's clocks

      Daleks because post "Q, Who?" TNG and Voyager utterly destroyed them as being any kind of menace.

      Actually I'd say after Best of Both Worlds, as the Borg were still quite nasty then. Hell... they were pretty scary in First Contact. It was Voyager that defanged them.

      Which Daleks? The ones who were easily defeated by stairs and blinded by hanging a hat on that eyestalk, or the massive and powerful fleet that Rose took apart only by melding with the TARDIS' Time Vortex in "Parting of the Ways"?

      Which Borg? The implacable, unstoppable, innumerable robot-space-zombie threat that attacked the heart of the Federation in "The Best of Both Worlds", or the silly robots under the central command of a deluded cyborg, who fell en masse just because she did, in First Contact?

      Hmmmm I was thinking of a conversation the ninth Doctor had, but... Now that I think again I'm not sure WHO he was talking about.

      I'd say the Borg at their height of power and the Daleks at their best. I believe the queen has always been there in the Shadows. Granted the Daleks could just temporal shift to the creation of the Borg and stop their creation.

      I dunno about averting the Borg's creation, that didn't work out so well when the Time Lords tried it with the Daleks

      Daleks by such a stupidly huge margin it's not even worth considering. (And yet I will).

      Time Lords can move planets through time with their minds and the Daleks came within a city of annihilating them in a Time War. They went from primitive spacecraft and being dependent on their own cities for power to building replicas of TARDIS' in a tiny amount of time and Davros and one Supreme managed to built a weapon that uses planets as fuel that is capable of destroying the totality of existence that came within one planet of working. Oh, and Davros grew an army from his own chest, an army.
      Five New Paradigm Daleks built an whole new Empire complete with Parliament and their entire planet, and resurrected Davros. Even the Moment (Gallifrey's ultimate weapon) couldn't erase all the Daleks from the Time War.

      They have transporters, weaponised time travel, sheilds, assimilating nanobots, planet killers, death rays, the capability to destroy the Cybermen with one drone (and these are the same Cybermen that would bitchslap the Borg by themselves), and plungers they can suck your face off with.

      The Daleks were turned into gods from 2005 (arguably from the 80s really) whereas the Borg were nerfed into oblivion. Though the Dalek Time devices (DARDIS' pig-28.gif) originated in The Chase back in the 60s so they were already so much more powerful than the Borg even back then.

      Try something interesting like Jem'Hadar and Changelings vs Sontarans and Zygons. Or Klingons and Romulans vs Movolians and Dravens or something.

      There's not a Trek race short of god level ones like Q or whatnot that even approach the Cybermen, never mind Daleks, Time Lords, or Celestials.​​

      And yet.... Dalek mini-tanks can be destroyed by human-made explosives. It's like the inverse Ninja law. A handful of Daleks with a doomsday machine are more dangerous than an armada of Dalek warships. :p

      The Moment was never used. The Doctor couldn't make himself do it (the Moment required that its user be fully aware of everything that using it meant).

      The Cybermen and Borg wouldn't "fight" as such, they'd assimilate each other (the way the Cyber Leader tried to assimilate the Doctor in "Silver Nemesis"). Then they'd go on to take over the Galaxy.

      you know, stairs were explicitly mentioned in the video posted above...along with a whole host of other reasons the daleks simply cannot even exist as a species, never mind be able to contend with other races and factions that WEREN'T written by absolute idiots​​
