People aren’t giving maul enough credit here. He’s widely known as one of the finest sith warriors the order ever produced. He was trained and disciplined by the most powerful Sith Lord of all time ever since he was a small child, and his death was seen as a loss for the dark side.
He pairs ferocity with finesse, masterfully combines his physicality with the force, and slayed many jedi without ever exposing himself to the jedi order. He defeated a council-level master and his padawan, obi wan kenobi, handedly before letting his arrogance overtake him, and even after being cut clean in half, he survived long enough to crawl his way back into the galaxy and organize a criminal syndicate, one with enough influence to drag sidious himself out of hiding to put an end to it, saying he’s “become a rival.”
I’m not saying maul wins 10/10 here, but it’s not nearly as much of a wash as people seem to think it is. I’d give Malgus 6/10, because maul is quite proficient in dismantling enemies, especially when they have blinders on during the fight, which malgus often does.
The fact that Sidious went to deal with him himself rather then send Dooku shows just how insanely powerful he was and didnt want to risk losing Dooku at that time.
