BG1's "The Cool Sociopath is Here" Edge:

I was almost convinced that this is a repeat of Hannibal vs Dexter which ended in a tie. However, upon further inspection at the various abilities and skills of both warriors... I will give this to Dexter Morgan but only just and I think this battle will end with a hasty retreat from Lecter. Why do I say Dexter wins? 1. Dexter has far greater experience in catching and killing criminals (100+ for Dexter compared to Hannibal's measly 15) and does a great job in covering up his activities so as to not draw suspicion; 2. Dexter is physically fitter and more proficient in martial arts and CQC than Hannibal - also CQC means Dexter is able to disarm Hannibal of any weapon improvised or otherwise; 3. Dexter is practically smarter than Hannibal - the latter may be a good liar and manipulator, but Dexter being the detective he is and having the know-how of being a good sociopath will be able to see through those lies fast enough to pin Hannibal down.

Another thing to point out is that The Dark Passenger is something Hannibal can never discern from Dexter no matter how hard he tries - as a psychologist, Hannibal might pinpoint The Dark Passenger as something made up by Dexter to suppress his childhood trauma and he may be right but what Hannibal might not know is that Dexter's Dark Passenger also harbours the image of Harry Morgan, an image and figure that Dexter looks to for advice and determination - and that is key to Dexter's victory in this battle.

Also, Dexter has a lot more practical tools in his arsenal - a lot more knives that deal a greater amount of damage and a tranquilizer that could end a battle outright.

So in summary, Dexter wins this because he is more street-smart than Hannibal in the world of psychopathy, is a lot stronger and in fact stealthier than Hannibal, has a practically stronger arsenal of knives than Hannibal and is in fact has the greater determination (through the Dark Passenger) to keep the fighting going whereas if Hannibal becomes too tired to continue fighting he'll probs try to give up and run and he can run but he can't hide for long.

PS Sorry if this seems like a sub-par vote but thats the best I can do
