Most people may say ROTS Mace would beat ROTS Dooku. But how about if they are AOTC versions? I think Mace has improved more than Dooku after the Clone Wars. So can Dooku beat him?
1. Sabers only
2. Force only(no sabers)
3. All out
1. Mace. They fought with blades in Obsession and Dooku fled, using his Magnaguards to distract Mace. This was after he got all excited over the fact that he got to fight and kill Jedi. There's no reason why he'd have ran from battle unless he thought that he couldn't win. Add to that that Mace is younger than Dooku and will therefor tire less easily, and that he has Vaapad, which gives him advantages against darksiders, and Dooku is a darksider. In LOE Dooku states that he if often "hard pressed to defeat the general [Grievous]". In LOE Mace was a bit weary of Grievous, and wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible, but the duel still wasn't exceptionally long or close. Mace also took out Sidious in a lightsaber duel.
2. Maybe Dooku. Outside from the Cartoon, Mace has used the Force to create a kind of bridge out of rocks, to save some children from a tank, can't really remember all the details, he has also used the Force to increase his speed until he is so fast that his hands are invisible. But as far as I know he can't block lightning without a blade, so I suppose Dooku wins.
3. Mace wins. Again, Dooku ran from battle with him in Obsession. Mace is also stated to be on par with Yoda, and Yoda is ahead of Dooku, and Mace would be even better at fighting darksiders than Yoda is due to Vaapad.
in that fight Mace did not even get close to touching Dooku, yeah Dooku got out of there, but who knows what would have happened. Don't act like Mace was beating him.
Actually, I'd say that Mace got quite close to 'touching' Dooku in that instance. After all, Count Dooku left explicit instructions to his men that they were to "leave the Jedi to [him]!" Yet, when confronted with Mace, Dooku decides to flee and has a third party interfere to facilitate his escape.
While it is possible to argue that Dooku and Mace are each more powerful than the other, it is unquestionable that Mace is - at the very, very least - quite close to Dooku's own level of skill.
We're not. Dooku decided to flee before the fight could continue, apparently out of fear of Mace. I suppose I'd advise you to not pretend that Dooku was beating Mace.
In Obsession Dooku seemed to hold his ground. However, as the latter panels portrayed, the Republic would shortly defeat the Seperaists; it was a loosing battle, the CIS were moderatedly unprepared for the attac k and if he would have stayed, he would have had to fend off Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ki-Adi Mundi, Sesse Tinn, Plo Koon, A'Sharad Hett and Agen Kolar. Dooku had enough sense to realise this and had every reason to run from that battle.

Considering that most SIth, even the weaker ones, can use Lightning I don't think that displays much power. And force choking a completely surprised Obi-Wan is nothing, as well.
