"In the fictional Star Wars universe, Tulak Hord was one of the Dark Lords of the Sith buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords on the planet Korriban. First featured in the video game Knights of the Old Republic, Tulak Hord was claimed by Kreia in the sequel game to be the greatest lightsaber duelist the Sith have ever known (at that time) and thus possibly the Sith's greatest lightsaber duelist ever. It is unknown what stance of lightsaber dueling Hord practiced, but the only other speculated successor in dueling skill would be Darth Tyranus or Luke Skywalker.
It has been rumoured the the Lightsaber form Hord used was a Pre-version of Form VII used by Mace Windu, a credit to his prowess as a saber duelist. Kreia also had mention that he had made a holocron of his fighting technique, something that Windu and other might have discovered."

(Now, with JanusEdit)
In the fictional Star Wars universe, Tulak Hord was one of the Dark Lords of the Sith buried in the Valley of the Dark Lords on the planet Korriban. (Fact)
First featured in the video game Knights of the Old Republic, Tulak Hord was claimed by Kreia in the sequel game to be the greatest lightsaber duelist the Sith have ever known (at that time) and thus possibly the Sith's greatest lightsaber duelist ever. (1st part-Fact; 2nd part- reasonable assessment)
It is unknown what stance of lightsaber dueling Hord practiced, but the only other speculated successor in dueling skill would be Darth Tyranus or Luke Skywalker.(Wild assumptions)
It has been rumoured the the Lightsaber form Hord used was a Pre-version of Form VII used by Mace Windu, a credit to his prowess as a saber duelist. (Where do these rumors arise from? Sounds suspicious)
Kreia also had mention that he had made a holocron of his fighting technique, something that Windu and other might have discovered." (So Windu found Tulak Hord's holocron? Did Revan just come back to known space and drop it?)
It is of my opinion that Tulak Hord is the superior duelist, if not because he was considered the best during a time when duelists were so common, you could probably bump into three of them on the way to the thrift store.
I am of the philosophical opinion that competition spurns development, and lack of it causes regression. Since Tulak existed in a time where lightsabers were more common than during the era of Mace Windu, I would have to give the match to the individual that could be mentioned as one of the greatest duelists ever.
Your objective is still to land a blow on your enemy, and use your weapon so to prevent them from landing a blow on you. The overall forms and methods wouldn't have changed all that much.

Good question. She also says that Tulak Hord lived in a time of "Many great lightsaber duellists". Clearly he is after Sadow and the others... .right? Or is that possible?
