Marcone could probably beat Harry in a duel.

  But Marcone isn't totally up to speed either.  Hary very much does respect the potential now that he has the coin, and of course what a Fallen Angel knows and can do.. But Marcone made mistakes, that is what Harry was taunting him about.  Now that he is kicked out of the Council, Harry has no restraints on what knowledge he can acquire now..  The only limitation is getting it, and I bet Bob has a lot of it, Alfred might as well, and practice.

I think Marcone will outclass Dresden, and be the reason why Harry will wield Excalibur as a real Knight of the Cross.

Possible, but remember most of the baddies that Harry has gone up against have outclassed him in power, still Harry has managed to survive if not outright win.  I think Harry will win because he is mentally more resourceful, he has a real talent for spotting his opponent's weaknesses and exploiting them.   That is the main reason why he is such a mouthy smart ass in his fights, yeah, it backfires at times, but mostly it pisses off his opponents.  Pissed off people make mistakes, Harry is good at spotting those mistakes and pouncing on them ending in victory.

The problem being that Marcone is not only smarter then Dresden, more powerful then Dresden, more skilled then Dresden, and has more money and support then Dresden. Marcone knows Dresden- knows his allies, knows how he operates.

Harry will have a lot of growing to do if he wants to beat Denarian!Marcone.

And frankly I doubt if he'll even have replaced his melted shield bracelet by the next crisis. The man is chronically allergic to using his brain or planning ahead.

Is he really?  I mean Harry did a pretty good job of out politicking him and getting what he wanted from him at the post Battle of Chicago meeting of the Accords, just like he did Langtry at the end of Proven Guilty to save Molly.  Only a fool underestimates either Harry's power/talent or his intellect.
They did soul gaze once you know, Marcone knows Harry as well as he does him, yet Harry out maneuvered him..
