THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS:

Another cannibal doctor is here to give his thoughts on the victor in this battle of serial killers. I'm rooting for the underdog here, Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

It's pretty interesting how nearly even these killers are in when it comes to skill. Both pack extreme knowledge of the human body, high intellect, and a variety of knives in their pockets. In direct combat, both these warriors have distinct advantages. Dexter is a more experience fighter and a superior martial artist, though Lecter is still a capable fighter, he can break bones, incapitate foes, target vulnerable parts of the body, and even has a high tolerance for pain.

Hannibal is an expert manipulator, he's great at lying and thanks to his high intellect and understanding of people, can possibly break Dexter down mentally, especially if he has knowledge on him, similar to what Jordan Chase did to Dexter in Season Five.

So, when it comes down to it, Dexter has some great advantages in close combat because of his martial arts skills, but Hannibal the Cannibal is still a capable fighter and can win the match thanks to his manipulation.
