wow, this is not an easy one to decide, maybe because they are both so similar. Both killers use very similar tools and are expert analysts. I would say Dexter has one big advantage, and that's his martial arts proficiency. Any CQC will be tilted in Dexter's favor, and I would think Dexter would be able to incapacitate Hannibal before Hannibal could kill Dexter. Despite this however... I am going to vote for Hannibal. Dexter may be the better close combatant, but I really question his psychological health against someone like Hannibal. I think for the most part he is mentally sound, but given his 'job' I can totally see someone wiht Hannibal's manipulative skill getting inside Dexter's head, no matter how sane he is most of the time. Also... I feel like the whole "kill room" will end up biting Dexter in the ass. Hannibal fakes emotions and has a massive pain tolerance, and he could easily fake unconsciousness then pressure point dexter while being carried off. It's a close one, but Hannibal's manipulation skills just BARELY carry him over his opponent.
