That's best case scenario for Moon Knight too. Sometimes he just has a sweet costume (and by sweet I mean it both looks awesome - one of the best costumes in comics - and that it gives him a boost in power).

Put them in the same boat, a fight at night time and near water. Namor dominates. With contact with water, he can survive (not necessarily win) blow for blow with characters as strong as Hulk and Thor, or the entire Fantastic Four. Moon Knight would get pummeled into dust in an awesome costume.

Away from water, Namor's powers gradually diminish. He doesn't die though, he just goes from just below the top-tier in terms of strength slowly down to an average mutant who can fly. It's unclear how long that takes. Moon Knight goes back to average man the moment the sun is up, not gradually.

Giving Moon Knight his due, he is superior in terms of his knowledge of martial arts and physical combat. He's also crazier than Namor, which is saying something. It's still not enough though.

Namor would win, and he shouldn't really struggle too much.
