I wouldn't say Anakin hands down. Granted there's not much about Revan's lightsaber skills but he WAS the best in an order of tens of thousands. Anakin was what, in the same league as Yoda and Mace?
In a lightsaber fight? Yes, I'd wager Anakin, hands down. The PT Jedi Order = "the best" in terms of lightsaber skills. Anakin was on par with Mace and Yoda (who are two of the very best - and likely the two best duelists ever for the Jedi).

I know the PT as a whole were the best, but you have the likes of Kun, Qel Droma, and Revan who were above and beyond everybody else. I would doubt Anakin takes this hands down, if at all, against the best of the KOTOR era.
Dooku was clearly superior in the movie, he's able to easily handle both Anakin and Obi-Wan at the same, and he basically outclasses him. Dooku is probably the best duelist from the movies there is with the exception of Yoda.

KMC's finest debators (I believe Advent was one of them, right?) has already proven that Dooku < Anakin. I know that you want to argue about this but pretty much the entire SW Vs. Population agrees that Anakin is better.

Don't pretend to know what appeal to majority is. You've already proven yourself to be a dumbass. Anakin>Dooku according to the movies, the novelization, and pure common sense.
Dessel, the Anakin vs. Dooku debate has no relevence here. But, yes, Advent and myself both argued 'til we were blue in the face regarding that topic. We have proof in the form of the official script, commentary from George Lucas, the RotS novelization, and a comment from Darth Sidious (all four of those things being canon) - as well as logical deduction itself.
Count Dooku handled Anakin and Obi-Wan together, yes. But, as the novelization showed, he had to separate them. Obi-Wan is, I agree, no match for Count Dooku (in either category), but Anakin, unrestrained and fueled by the Dark Side, overcame him.
As a duelist and as a swordsman, he is a bit better than Count Dooku - who is quite a bit better than 95& of every other Star Wars character.
Mace would beat him after a difficult duel. Yoda and Sidious are more powerful than Anakin given their experience and superior command of the Force.
