Hannibal's greatest weapon, his manipulation skills, won't work that well on Dexter. Once Hannibal shows his face Dexter might get a nudge that Hannibal mustn't be trusted or is evil. Unless Hannibal has "other" reasons why he butchers people. But its the only way for Dexter to know. Hannibal has the advantage of being clean through and through, and there's nt that much evidence for Dexter to find that points Hannibal as the actual cheaspeake ripper. So only the Dark Passenger will Dexter knows about Hannibal. The same goes with Dexter, unless Hannibal finds people that knows Dexer is the Bay Harbor Butcher there's no way he would know Dexter and manipulate him that easily. But off course hannibal has superb knowledge of people, and though he doesn't have any dark passengers he can use, he is good at identifying people, and would probably know Dexter's personality by just looking at him no matter how hard Dexter tries to hide his true self.

So the battle becomes a random mano a mano brawl with both knowing the other guy is a bad guy.

And this is the reason Dexter gets the huge advantage. With time Hannibal can manipulate anyone, but without it it'll be of subtle success. Hannibal's manipulating skills won't work that well as it needs preps and knowledge, which are things he can't afford during the battle. He can still manipulate Dexter and make him run mazes, but it won't be as good as a well planned scheme Hannibal is known for. Although Hannibal is smarter (getting a renowned license is a tough nut), Dexter is younger, far more stronger, faster, physically fit, and his martial arts would dominate over Hannibal's (though both are excellent fighter who experienced fighting other excellent fighters). Dexter's weapons far surpasses that of Hannibal's, especially his tranqualizer annd garrote which would easily subdue Hannibal and get in for the kill. Both are expert knife fighters, but Dexter's hunting knife surpasses any knife in the battle. Dexter also has the advantage of stealth, making him undetected for him to kill Hannibal and snatch victory. Although Hannibal might hold off with his superior thinking and strategy, let's not forget Dexter is also a smart dude who also has his shares of fighting other intellectuals.

Winner: Dexter Morgan
