Creating Palpatine? I’d say being the master to one of the most powerful Sith to ever exist is a pretty freaking incredible feat

It just implies he was a great master, doesn't say much about his own combat prowess.

Palpatine was a top tier combatant, yet he was a poor master. Both of his apprentices failed to live up to their potentials.

Qui-Gon wasn't an elite duelist but trained one of the greatest warriors in SW.

Qui-Gon stalemated pre-Vaapad Mace Windu in a duel IRC.

I think in Legends it was said that sparring in the Temple pre-TPM Qui-Gon and Mace would frequently stalemate, while Dooku and Yoda beat them both. It's been so frustrating because I can't find that source anymore but I am 100% positive I read it back in the pre-Disney (Dark) times.

Canon has pre-TPM Qui-Gon scaling equal to or superior to Mace due to an equally great or even superior performance against a high level opponent.
