He'd get a cheap shot in when Manwe wasn't looking.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Because he has greater scope of skills: Manwë is the Lord of air, while Melkor has a part in the skills and knowledge of every Vala. But Morgoth would go down with a whimper. He couldn't even win against a mere Maia.
Plus, I think we should have buried Tolkien in a larger coffin, he probably cant turn very well in his. -Rossmonster

Morgoth shows up and tells Manwe Melkor isn't coming. When Manwe turns around to leave Morgoth puts his "Hi! I'm Melkor!" name-tag back on and whacks Manwe on the back of the head. Win!
****************************************** Brothers, sisters, I was Elf once. We danced together Under the Two Trees. We sang as the soft gold of Laurelin And the bright silver of Telperion, Brought forth the dawn of the world. Then I was taken. Brothers, sisters, In my torment I kept faith, And I waited. But you never came. And when I returned you drew sword, And when I called your names you drew bow. Was my Eldar beauty all, And my soul nothing? So be it. I will return your hatred, And I am hungry.

After that nasty crippling blow that Fingolfin gave him and the pain
from the burns of the Silmarils, Melkor'd probably be somewhat less of a problem. Of course, that would probably just apply if Manwe could get close enough to him to take the advantage.
But Turin passed away on the northward road, and Glaurung laughed once more, for he had accomplished the errand of his master. Then he turned to his own pleasure, and sent forth his blast, and burned all about him. But all the orcs that were busy in the sack he routed forth, and drove them away, and denied them their plunder even to the last thing of worth.... J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

At the beginning of time before melkor took a physical shape melkor would have won. When he poured all his power into his creations and sat at his throne in the iron fortress. Manwe would have won...

Well, knowing that in the end, good always wins, I believe that Manwe would win. Melkor or Morgoth, if you will, is a very evil character, and I haven't finished The Silmarillion yet, but I'm guessing Morgoth dies or get defeated or something. Don't tell me though!
