Ok...
A fight where Dooku as physically exhausted before Kenobi was ever removed from the equation?
When has it ever been said he was exhasted prior to removing Kenobi?
And a fight in which dooku spent the entire time preparing to lose? (meaning he didn't take any opportunities he might have had to take out anakin)
Where did he even have an oppurtunity to take out Anakin? That said while he was originally preparing to lose to Anakin (he was always meant to kill Kenobi) he changed his mind half way through the duel.
"No sense taking chances; even his Master would agree with that. Lord Sidious could come up with a new plan more easily than a new apprentice."
And the point remains this is in the zone Anakin and we know what happens when he goes against Dooku...
"Dooku is dead already. The rest is mere detail."
or
"Dooku's decades of combat experience are irrelevant. His mastery of swordplay is useless. His vast wealth, his political influence, impeccable breeding, immaculate manners, exquisite taste-the pursuits and points of pride to which he has devoted so much of his time and attention over the long, long years of his life-are now chains hung upon his spirit, bending his neck before the ax.
Even his knowledge of the Force has become a joke."
Nothing Dooku has will help him against in the zone Anakin.
We have no precedent to look for in a Dooku vs. Anakin in a straight one-on-one to the death duel. All we have is their other body of work: Dooku losing to Yoda, and pwning Kenobi, and Anakin losing to Kenobi and struggling with Ventress (who dooku could control completely with the force.)Advantage there? Dooku.
Good thing none of those are in the zone Anakin. And we know that when he battles Dooku, Dooku becomes "a joke".
