Although I do not belive much that Sidious faked it GL never said Mace won fair and square, he said he overpowered him, just as he said Anakin did vs Dooku... And Obi-Wan's style is not made for saber to saber combat either, it is defencive....

And I'll say it again: ROTS novelization and the visional dictionaries call Kit one of the best duelists the order had produced....hey, Obi-wan's style wasn't made for defense either. Soresu was originally intended to deflect blaster bolts.
And underestimate Obi-wan when Yoda's around? Just like he underestimated Agen and Saesee? Once more: I'm seeing no evidence to how Obi-wan can last a second against Sidious's assault. Actually provide something instead of continuously saying "He won't."
mysterious man is right. Obi vs Palps and Yoda vs Anakin. Anakin gets WTF pwnd in less than 20 seconds. Since Obi-wans style is more defensive, he'll be able to hold out until Yoda comes to his aid. Even if Sidious uses force powers, Obi can blcok them with his lightsaber (or in the case of force choke or crush, it'll take a while to kill him). Meanwhile Anakin gets annihilated quickly by yoda with a LIGHTSABER(you can kill people a lot faster with a saber than with the Force). Even if both Anakin and Obi-Wan die, and Yoda and Sidious match up Yoda will own him. There are no places for Palpatine to hide and chuck stuff at Yoda, like in the senate. Yoda would PWN him. End of story, the good guys win.

It'll a take a while to kill him with crush or choke? Sidious clenches a fist and the crush'll break all of Obi's bones...and Yoda, by his own thoughts in the EU, knwos he couldn't defeat Palpatine
Uh,no.Obi-Wan is superior to Anakin,Anakin has the power and potential,but he doesn't think before he gets into things.Obi wins(why do you think he's Master and Anakin's a Knight?Becuase Anakin doesn't coordinate his attacks and strategies.).
Actually, it's because Anakin was out of his mind with grief and rage over Padme. Obi-wan is on the retreat for most of the fight and wins because of a mistake Anakin never would have made under different circumstances.
Keep in mind that Anakin is an ill-tempered brute.
Obi Wan, a man of considerable persuasion would toy wiht Anakin's feelings until the ignoramus makes a mistake. At that, point Anakin would make a fatal slip and get pwned. It has been demonstrated time and time again.
Sidious meanwhile would be stalemating Yoda as always, until Obi Wan comes in. Together the good guys win.
During the battle friend. During the battle, Obi Wan would keep his feelings in check like a true Jedi.
There was a second time as well. He was a hot headed brute. He tried to use two sabers to take out Dooku... thats how he lost an arm. Arrogance and charging into the fight like an animal won't do much good against a Jedi trained in defense and using the enemies rage against them.
He didn't fight stupid against Dooku in RotS. Where he wasn't hotheaded at all. That was really our only indication of Anakin's fighting prowess, since it was his only fight under normal circumstances.
