Kenobi.

Good point. While I don't see Dooku getting through Kenobi's defenses, I question if Kenobi could find a hole in Dooku's likewise near unparalleled swordsmanship over Makashi. Given his impressive offensive showing against the Maul bros, it's possible. 👆

He was duel wielding though.

The biggest difference is that, whilst Dooku can regenerate his stamina to a degree, Kenobi can go all day. Dooku will tire, then Kenobi springs.

This is true. Dooku's endurance is often undersold but it's still nothing compared to Kenobi's.

It can go either way

kenobi pierces the count's beard. Dooku dies of shame.

Depends who the aggressor is. Neither opponent is particularly aggressive in combat so IMHO this sabers only battle is inconclusive. It can't happen.

Dooku's not going to attack Kenobi endlessly till fatigue and Kenobi isn't going to attack at all unless he wants to get exploited.

Legends Obi Wan wins

Canon Dooku wins

as of ROTS

Well he did in ROTS.

But yeah its less likely when Kenobi is fighting solo.

Strange how much opinions have changed, whereas a few years ago people were saying "Kenobi will never ever beat the count, 0/10".

His Ataru was enough to keep the brothers busy for awhile, and considering Kenobi can seamlessly switch between them, I think it spells trouble for the count.

Dooku is THE master of Makashi, but Kenobi is THE master of Soresu, while being pretty damn good with Ataru. Kenobi's never had a truly fair shot in his prime against the Count in a one-on-one exchange, and considering that Kenobi and Anakin were toying with him in the beginning of their fight with him in the ROTS Novel, it speaks volumes of how good Kenobi truly is.
