Really Dooku can handle Anakin and obi wan at once so I don't see why he can't handle maul,and obi wan since their synergy won't be as good and maul isn't as good Anakin. So really he can just do what he did to kenobi as he did in ROTS. Then he can out duel maul or use the force.
That would be true if he could handle Anakin and Kenobi like that every time he fought them. But we've seen Anakin give Dooku hell 1 v 1 more than once.
And Maul's Tk "control" is probably superior to Anakin's. So that should prevent a repeat of ROTS.
Plus there's the fact that when Dooku did handle Kenobi with Tk, it left him slightly tired against Anakin. So something like that would greatly improve Maul's chances 1 v 1 against Dooku.
Like I said, Dooku's no Sidious. So he won't just be tossing them both around with ease like Sidious was to Maul/Opress.
Not sure what you're point is Power as Anakin isn't present...
However I agree with Sids, as long as Dooku has something hard to launch Kenobi against he should be able to KO him if given the opportunity. And considering Kenobi is not going to by as synced with Maul as he was Anakin, but instead will actually be adverse to working as a team, Dooku can play them off each other quite well and that will provide plenty of openings.
And without Anakin, Maul and Kenobi aren't going to be able to exhaust him with their attack, so Dooku should have enough energy to finish Maul.
P.S. It's never said that Force pushing Kenobi was taxing for Dooku, in fact the opposite, and that's when he was already weakened.

Because Sid's argument was that Dooku can handle Kenobi and Anakin at once, so why not Kenobi and Maul.
So I put the handling Kenobi and Anakin into a bit of context.
Dunno. Opress and Ventress teamed up quite well against Dooku. Dooku was still winning that one, but this duo is far superior to the Ventress/Opress duo.
Even if Dooku's at 90%, a Dooku vs Maul can really go either way IMO.
You should check out the script, which has both Kenobi and Dooku getting tired in the 3 way (although Kenobi getting tired at that point is a bit silly, unless he was already a bit tired from the start of the fight).
