They can be, but there is a slight difference in a figurative sense.
For instance: there if a fight against corruption/ hay(o existe) una lucha contra la corrupción. (this indicates a general fight against corruption) Una pelea contra corrupción is more indicative of a person's personal fight against corruption. La lucha contra cáncer-- science's fight or war on cancer Una pelea contra cáncer -- a personal battle against cancer Bob, this is the way it sounds to me, but lets wait to see if native speakers can confirm this.

Interesting distinction!
Out of curiosity, how could one best translate a feud, a vendetta or a (personal) crusade?
