Dooku is not ''god-stomping'' Lol. That is why I said Dooku is the most overrated PT character in KMC.
Even with that shii-cho weakness, Fisto is one of the best in the order, and one of the fastest Jedi in the Order as well. He should hold his own everytime, it would be easy for Dooku due to shii-cho but really ''god stomp'' is not happening.

I believe kit has mostly gotten past shi chos weakness. If he hasn't then there is no reason that he beat Kenobi or Grievous. Plus his style is a mix of shi cho and ataru
Except he never beat Kenobi. Kenobi just admit that he is better swordfighter not duelist, Fisto didn't even win that sparring match, we don't know what would happen if they would actually fight. They seem as equals against Ventress, and Kenobi managed to cut Ventress with some help later.
Not to mention Fisto actually admit that Kenobi is better duelist than himself in RotS. But that was for a better Kenobi so it is not valid for AotC.
AotC kenobi isn't all that impressive in the grand scheme of things (ala when comparing him to beings on the level of Tyranus)Isn't really a fair comparison when Kenobi was still using Ataru as an offence at that time, which Dooku knows every weakness of, and Kenobi was fatigued before the fight even started from the battle at the petranaki.
Using power scaling from the rate of which Kenobi has been shown to improve, he should be above Qui-Gon after ten years of time to improve, which is enough in terms of raw skill not to be destroyed by someone like Dooku, ergo Fisto being better than Kenobi at this time makes him close enough to Dooku. Fisto isn't short of accolades at his peak, either.
That's a fair point on Dooku's knowledge about Ataru, and AotC Kenobi lacks knowledge about Makashi as well, and he wasn't still experienced as Qui-Gon, I still wouldn't put AotC Kenobi over Qui-Gon, not to mention Dooku himself said he would expect better than Qui-Gon's former apprentice. Which means Qui-Gon could do better than AotC Kenobi against Dooku at that time.
There is no source depicting Kit as an Ataru practitioner, Bantha. And while I agree Kit is very effective against opponents both singular and multiple, Shii-Cho is still inherently weak against the ultraprecision of Makashi; Form II was designed to counter Form I, after all. This weakness was showcased in his battle against Ventress.
And even without that, Dooku is still one of the big three--Kit can contend, but is ultimately outmatched. That, along with the first point, spells a stomp for Fisto.
