I wouldn't put Malak above Dooku. You're right Yoda flips around but he remained unmatched in lightsaber combat. And I would put Dooku on the level of I don't know, maybe Revan, maybe Ulic Qel Droma, but he's certainly above Malak, and so is Yoda.

When did Yoda ever try to kill Dooku? Yoda is 800 years old, why wouldn't he be tired? Malak was a lightsaber prodigy and so was Dooku, and there's absolutely no evidence that states Malak would take Dooku, so why would he even get a chance with Yoda? Especially if he's not on his trusty SF

There's no evidence to suggest the contrary either...
Dooku is eighty years old. He's nearing the end of his natural life span, just like Yoda. Yet Yoda is gasping for breath and Dooku is relatively unpeturbed...

Unperturbed.. Is that why Dooku runs? Because he "stalemated" Yoda with supposedly no effort? Because the sith don't have the characteristic of being arrogant and overconfident? Right. Anyways Malak and Dooku maybe on par at best, but Yoda is still greater than both of them in force powers and lightsaber combat.

I agree, Malak was no challenge in KotOR espescially if you have drain life and the power after it (first time I didn't have drain life). And Dooku well he has a good fighting style but loses all of his battles except with Obi-Wan and if you look at the EU (I've only read one book featuring him) he also wins against Lorian Nodd a longtime rival. Wheras Malak also loses against Revan who is vastly more powerful. The only person it hints at him beating was Bastila who was still just a knight.
I put Yoda and Sidious above Dooku, but not by much. If Dooku was better than Yoda, he could have killed him at Geonosis and be done with it. Yes, Yoda is breathing like he needs an oxygen tank, but look at their fighting styles. Yoda is using Ataru (Crouching Jedi, Flying Frog) whereas Dooku is using Makashi (minimal energy used in the style).
Of course Yoda is going to be more tired.
Malak is above Dooku, though; Yoda would have a great deal of trouble, and probably be defeated by this one.

AHAH you've yet to provide anything either? Can we say hypocrite?
And Rex, no way is Sidious better than Dooku in lightsaber combat. At best he was better than ROTS Obiwan but Dooku would cut him in half. Dooku was on par with Windu and Windu made him his *****

Dooku had perfected a style dedicated to dueling. He used minimal effort and wasted virtually no effort in fighting. His form made him the best duelist of the PT era.
