Ben Kenobi found it difficult to suspend a 500 kg object in air and shove it away.
Darth Malgus - decades before his prime (and badly wounded) - was able to hold several tonnes of debris in place over his head and blow it apart afterwards.
Darth Malgus also sent Aryn Leener flying across the hall with a blast of power; Aryn Leener who lifted and chugged 6 Cars of a TRAM like missiles towards her opponents in another fight - in one go.
Not a good comparison, I'm afraid.
In dueling?
I expect HoT to be much stronger at this point.

Kenobi's wild space feat is sufficient for comparison with malgus telekentically, and a sabers only match is always going to Kenobi coz he's a tier 8 with much better physical feats anyway
As a swordsmen it's clear cut, pre-prime Kenobi has repeatedly showcased superiority with a blade to maul despite generally unfavorable circumstances. Even in their 1 v 1 on florrum, Kneobi sowed a slight edge via shadow conspiracy despite not even using battle meditation yet(and unlike the portion in the cave there's no contradiction).
As a force user, while Maul has repeatedly tk'd Kenobi, they've all been circumstantial and its spitballing to say maul still has an edge given clone wars: stealth indicating Kneobi can grow much more powerful over the course of a couple of months(TCW is almost a year away from ROTS) in addition to multiple emotional confrontations(per kotor 2 these lead to growth) and physical ones including most importantly Kenobi finally letting go of his attachment to Anakin.
Saying Kenobi is physically stronger than Malgus is just blatant fanboying, tbh. Regardless of what Malgus has demonstrated, it should be obvious by just looking at them who can bench more, lmfao. This is where logic comes in play. However, I recall Malgus throwing Jedi around with one arm in those trailers. Kenobi's never replicated that in a relevant showing.

1, Malgus hasn't done jack that puts him as a tier 8.
2. Kenobi has crushed the fist of someone who can dent ships like a cheapspoon, has deflected/avoided omnidirectional blasterfire from ten thousand droids, and has tanked three kicks from someone who can shatter durasteel in quick succession despite having been ko'd twice and tortured severely beforehand
A lot more powerful than most give him credit for. His reasoning aside, I actually agree with Rocky's conclusion; at his best, I think Kenobi could certainly handle someone like Darth Malgus.
In general I agree that Kenobi isn't as strong as Malgus, but didn't he bend one of Grievous' duranium arms like it was a cheap spoon in the RotS novel? I think that may be better than throwing someone.
