The argument has successfully been made before that Anakin could best TMP Obi-Wan, and Anakin did hold out very well against Count Dooku, who is more skilled and powerful than Maul.
Plus at this stage, Anakin has powerful, developing abilities.
How does that contradict what I said?
Maul is a good match for Anakin in sabers, and he is a good match for Vader in sabers. In both cases he wins (save for RotS Anakin of course)

Nah.
Vader will be beaten by Maul in sabers only. And it would be close.
In the force and all-out though, I have no doubt that Vader will mop the floor with the Zabrak.

No, he won't. Vader has vastly superior lightsaber feats to Maul. A few measly weeks after his mutilation and he's blitzing jedi with absurd ease. He pretty much invented his own lightsaber style. In Shadow Hunter Maul had trouble with a padawan in straight combat.
It just cracks me up that you think Vader is on the same level as AOTC Ani. No freaking way dude.
The thing is Vader destroys Maul easily in the force, so in all-out scenario Maul will have no chance to really threaten the Dark Lord. Only in sabers he can do that.
On the other hand AotC Anakin will lose to Maul either way.
C'mon do I really have to explain that to you?
