Well going by ANH Vader >/= Ben Kenobi... So, technically he should also be capable of blitzing Maul. But that doesn't necessarily mean he would blitz Maul.
But it's been confirmed numerous times he would beat Maul, whether it's a blitz or not.

Confirmed numerous times in the new canon?

Quanchi would disagree. Haha.

I've almost finished Darth Plagueis, and the Sith Lord mentions that Dooku is considered one of the best duellists in the order, and nothing I've seen ever specifically states Dooku > Windu

Reconciling sources, Mace Windu and Dooku were direct peers in lightsaber combat and the Force (with Yoda suggesting Dooku being slightly better) prior to Dooku leaving. Sources state that Dooku's skills further increased after leaving the Jedi Order (not to mention newfound dark-side abilities). Thus, Dooku was likely superior to Mace Windu at the start of the war (based on their respective performances against Asajj Ventress and Sora Bulq), but Mace Windu surpassed him in the late-war due to all the battlefield experience (based on Nick Gillard's levels and his performance against Palpatine), resulting in him being a high 8, low 9 whereas Dooku just an 8.

I also liked the theory that one fellow talked about, what with Mace being a high-8 normally, and shifting into low-9 territory if he fully gives into Vaapad like in RotS.
