Yes, for real.

Two of literature's most famous psychopaths, mostly known for their various movies/shows adaptations, who use their absurd intellect to literally exploit the human nature in order to reach their goals: one's a villain while the other is... An hero I guess. They also both love to take the mick out of various police forces.

Inb4 "why" and "they can't fight

This idea came up while I was making an analysis about Sherlock Holmes for Total Warfare (it's suspended until I don't finish the sprites for the first episode) and after learning how badass the original Holmes is. Yes, they can fight. Sherlock is one of the best bare-handed fighters of his size in the original stories (he did stuff such as mastering boxing and bartitsu, a martial art that's known today almost only thanks to him, or knocking out an armed thug so hard that his knuckles started bleeding), while Hannibal has an affinity with knives and similar, and he also had samurai training. I honestly imagine the fight like this:

''Hannibal invites Holmes for dinner. He wants to kill and eat the british detective, but he'll only do it after the end of the dinner. Sherlock has to understand Lecter's real intentions before the inevitable happens by talking with him. After the dinner ends, or whenever Sherlock understands Hannibal's plan before it's too late, the two engage a physical fight to the death.''

Given this special pretext, I'd say that Holmes wins in the psychological fight (the "Hannibal Lectures" wouldn't have effect on someone that can't feel emotions) and pwns in the physical fight (after all, he took on armed thugs various times). We could still buff Hannibal by giving him his fighting skills from the eponymous show, but I think that Sherlock could still win. Also, I know this most likely won't happen but I just wanted to introduce a bit Sherlock in the VS debates.
