In the comics War Machine and Iron Man have actually fought several times. Most of the time it was little spats and whatnot, but the last great fight they had was when Tony Stark became a felon and was needed to be taken in. War Machine, being Rhodey, was able to find him easily and they had to fight it out to make it look like Iron Man had beaten away the last thing apart of his old world that held any authority, making him an official bad guy. It was all a fluke, but they did fight for real and despite the constant upgrades the Iron Man suit goes through, it barely held its own against the War Machine and its battle hardened, soldier and pilot, Rhodey.

Tony used to be able to remote shut it off, but he no longer has the ability, having given Rhodey full reign of the suit. In an all out battle, I'd have to say Iron Man would eventually overpower and put War Machine in his place, but not without taking a huge beating. It would be close, honestly. It could go either way. I really depends on the mental warfare they do on each other, not physical.
