Maul is so good...nobody recognizes he could beat Dooku. Read "Shadow Hunter" he has been raised in the dark arts since he was a toddler. His extreme hatred for the Jedi has been planted in him by Sidious since childhood.
He was training to tbe the best warrior in the galaxy, he knew martial arts, superb sword fighting skills, lightening fast, intelligent, his only downfall is his hatred, it clouded his judgement at the end of TPM when he was toying with Obi. He beat both Qui-Gon and Obi Wan....He lost to HIMSELF
He would have chopped all Grevious's limbs off (just like Obi) in a couple seconds then destroyed him a lot faster than Obi did.
Maul was trained by fighting machines like Grevious, except three-four at a time! Oh yeah, Maul would have beat Anakin too.

Obi took care of Grievious without barely breaking a sweat and assuming that both Obi and Maul probably would've matured equally and considering how easily Maul took care of Obi it would've been no problem.
Grievious comes after Maul. Maul stands there, then spins, parrys, hacks off an arm or two, then spins once again taking out his legs then shoves the saber threw Grievious's forehead. Then goes "What *****!"
Ya know what, yeah, if Maul had lived by the time of ROTS he'd beat GG like GG's nothing. Is that what we're going on, if Maul had lived? Of are we going on if we took Maul out of TPM and GG out of ROTS and placed them in a room who would win between that version of Maul and that version of GG? I was under the impression it was the second of the 2. And folks, I'm going with Maul but Maul wouldn't own GG. Those of you who say GG would win, it'd be so close of a battle I can see your reasoning but he wouldn't take Maul out in a second Sheesh! Maul's not all powerful. neither is GG. Neither would dominate over the other. it's be extremely close.
The cartoons totally exaggerate GG. He is not strong with the force his only gimmick is the 4 arms. Read my post carefully!!! Maul was raised and trained fighting 4 machines like GG at once!! Maul's speed, strength, force ability, and intelligence aided him to defeat thos machines.
Here's something else to think about, after reading all 3 prequels, it has become apparent that Sidious was using Dooku as a pawn the whole time, he wasn't as satisfied as he was with Maul, who he mentored and nurtured for almost 20 years. He saw the natural ability and power in Maul just as he did in Anakin.
He really didn't give a damn about Dooku or Post suit Vader, the most powerful and potential Sith we have seen in Star Wars movies are Vader pre-suit, Maul, and of course Sidious.
How can GG even compare?

Ok, Maul is a great sith warrior. Well trained, awesome flexibility and all that. Grievous took on five jedi and defeated them. His able to use lightsabers with his feet too. His unorthodox style of fighting was a match for even experienced jedi masters. But grievous has no force abilities neither have i seen Maul's. Obi took on a weaken yet formitable GG. Remember Clone wars, Windu used the force to crake up GG. That is why we see a coughing GG in RoTs. Clone war series in the "in-betweens" of AoTc and RoTs.
I personally think that in Ep I, Maul was slightly misrepresented.
Take Darth Vasallo's well stated input as to Maul's ability: He is a PHENOMENAL sith (err... WAS). The problem with everyone's skewed view of Maul is that he was the "hafta die" villain in EP I. Just watch his death scene: Maul's saber was DOWN for almost four seconds, after NON STOP dual saber rocking against Qui Gon. Someone had to win, and it was OBVIOUSLY not going to be Maul. SO, he just "HADTA DIE"... (ya like how I swung that tangent back around to the main point? yeah, me too)
Grievous went down like Glass Joe from Punch-Out in Ep III... after first running like a jackass twice from Obi Wan. Of course, Grievous also applies to my "Hafta Die" villain theory as well...
But Darth Maul kicks way more ass....
MAUL!
no Fishy,
Maul had to die because he would have interfered with th rest of the Storyline. In any case, Maul would annihilate GG....as well as Dooku. If anything he was too good to continue...and the good die young.
let's put it this way, for his age he was better than any Jedi so imagine how good he would become by AOTC or ROTS.
