Having to readjust and defend against two opponents who took him off guard after changing their forms is your reason why he didn't do it straight after the fight got serious.
I haven't seen Dooku rag doll Kenobi level opponents anytime he likes. He's fought Kenobi numerous times, and has fought Kenobi's lesser (Ventress) a couple of times. Surely it'd be clear for us to see if he could rag doll them anytime he likes.

Nothing suggests Maul could resist getting thrown around like Kenobi.
Except that Maul has better Force feats than Kenobi.
Maul also scales over Opress, and we know the trouble Opress has given Dooku in the past.
So I stand by my initial assessment. Dooku wins, but it won't be a rag doll scenario, and Maul is capable of giving the Count some serious trouble.
Ventress isn't far off TCW Obi-Wan, and Dooku stomped her as hard as one could with the force (in canon anyway). Unless there's a quote stating Kenobi's far more powerful than her at that stage? He's probably out of outright ragdoll range in RotS, but I don't see how Maul's really at Obi-Wan's level then.
Where's the evidence that Maul scales over Opress in force power? Let alone the enraged Opress that gave Dooku a scare.

1. What better feats does Maul have? They are overall of the same skill in combat.
2. Maul definitely does not scale over Opress. In fact, Force strength-wise, Savage scales over Maul.
