Um....no, he isn't. If he was, clearly Boba wouldn't have knocked him on his ass with a swift blow to the chin, yet, only stalemate a pre-prime Katarn. Besides that comparison, Kyle's feats are just better. Especially in melee.
Unless I'm missing something, Sion Crushes/Drains him to death. The notion that Fett stomps the most elite of an organization that killed tens of thousands of Jedi (in the prime of the Jedi Order, at least in reference to your average Jedi) is ludicrous.
Well, mainly because of Drew Karpyshyn and the SWTOR Devs, the power levels of KOTOR 2 characters are all over the place:
In KOTOR 2, beings like Sion, Nihilus, and Traya are literally ultra powerful monsters of the dark side that generally can't be defeated by conventional means, like being struck down with a lightsaber. One of them eats planets for breakfast, one of them can't die because he's so powerful he wills himself not to, and the 3rd was Revan's greatest teacher who spear headed this triumvirate and treated Jedi High Council members like legitimate children.
In the Revan Novel, the Triumvirate is reduced to being merely referred to as renegade Dark Jedi, (the guy who either speaks the language of the force itself, or the first and last language ever spoken, and eats worlds for breakfast, is a mere dark jedi, lmfao,) and Meetra's portrayal in the novel was generally shit relative to her greatness in KOTOR 2.
In SWTOR, when you find Nihilus' holocron, the Dark Lord isn't really seen as or considered much of a big deal.
Despite Karpyshyn SWTOR seemingly downscaling the Triumvirate's power, Traya's Spirit is still an immense fountain/geyser of dark side energy that gives Baras unparalleled farseeing powers, making him "invincible" in the process. And Traya was the most tame of the Triumvirate in terms of sheer haxx.
Overall, it's just too much inconsistency to swing it one way or another, but if any choice is to be made, I'd just refer to the source material, (i.e. KOTOR 2) to make the most accurate assessment of their power.

Yes, Skillz. Yes. Now you see
Now you see that the only way of truly connecting Kotor 2 to the rest of the mythos is that Surik's loss of her wound dramatically weakened her. It's the only way
(PS: IIRC Nihilus' Holocron in swtor was one of the most deadly and terrifying artefacts the Sith could ever hold)

Nah. Chalking it up to authorial inconsistency is the much more logical conclusion. I, unlike you, don't feel the need to come up with in-universe excuses.

Anyway, authorial stupidity is one thing. Surik losing her Force Bonds and status as a Wound in the Force almost certainly played a part, though.
Her not being able to find Force Enlightenment on DK is ****ing stupid, considering that presumably did so on Malachor V, which was a far worse nexus. So authorial stupidity has to be considered, to an extent. Just searching for in-universe explanations won't work.
It's similar to how Filoni portrays Grievous relative to his older incarnation. Authorial disconnection from the original source material can lead to some truly stupid things. But then, one wonders if something like this is to be applied to say, Exar Kun as well.
