Alright DJ, let's try not to start another row, mmkay?
I think Obi-Wan wins it. Yes Obi-Wan beat Maul in TPM because Maul was overconfident, but we're talking about AOTC Obi-Wan, not TPM Obi-Wan. Obi improves so much in the ten years between the films that he'd defeat his old Master easily. He (Obi) becomes much more powerful as a Knight than he was as a Padawan and I thought that even while he was a Knight that he was stronger than/as strong as Qui-Gon.
Okay, Obi-Wan has a draw with Jango and gets his ass kicked badly by Dooku and Dooku's not even trying very hard. I mean, okay, Obi was really worn out, but still, even if he had been at full strength I bet Dooku could have taken out Obi just as quickly if he tried as hard as he could. it might take a little longer, but not much.
The TPM novel says Qui-Gon's skills rival Mace Windu's. of course, this is TPM Mace, but still, Qui-Gon put up a fair fight against Darth Maul, dominated all the battle droids he fought, and when he fought Maul he was already a but tired from fighting droids.
Qui-Gon clearly is superior. He is much stronger in the Force and has better saber skills too. He does tell Obi-Wan that he (obi) will become stronger than him (Jinn) one day, but that day's not until close to ROTS.
