This question can't be answered because we really don't know forsure what force powers Maul has at his disposal. All we really know is that he fights with a staff almost exlusively. He doesn't attempt lightning, and for all we know, he doesn't know how to shoot force lightning or force choke people.
Based on what we have seen from TPM, maul would lose this fight to GG. They would most likely use sabers, because that seems to be all Maul likes to do. He would lose in that case forsure, saber to saber.
GG even beats ROTS obi saber to saber, and I'm absolutely positive that ROTS obi would slay Maul. He did it in TPM, and he is 100 times stronger in ROTS.
Maul could only win if he uses dark force powers, but as I said, who knows if would, or is even capable of it.
A) i think grevious would have to have a certain tolerance to the force if hes able to destroy masters without a sabre
B) someone mentioned earlier that a padwan beat maul but thats only because obi was watch the batlle like a hawk and was ready for the forehead-hit that got quigon killed
I geuss GG would win but like many have said we have yet to see him fight so its a little unfair to pick right now

Not really. Other people do it all the time and they have no real protection from the Force. Jedi are powerful, but not invincible. Nor are they capable of flicking their wrist and killing somebody. They can be outsmarted, and as we know of Grievous, he's not called "General" for nothing.

Nah. In fact, the more I watch it, the more I realize Maul was mostly the one in control. Obi-Wan was practically outclassed until Maul decided to be dumb (someone doesn't have to be beaten in 2 seconds to be outclassed).
!!! i know it doesnt really count but if u wanna see grievous fight watch the Clone wars shorts from cartoon network- If he fights like that in the movie its grievous all the way
I think the cartoon has already been accepted as a viable EU source.
I just find it hard to believe that Maul has all the Dark Force powers but chooses not to use them in TPM. Why would he risk dying if he could just use them and win? I suspect he spent his life mastering his dual staff skills, and didn't focus much at all on other force powers. He's good in saber combat forsure, because Qui-gon kicks ass and he beat him, but I don't think Maul even comes close to Vader's or Dooku's level in the force.
After we all see the movie, and see how bad ass Grevious is, I think everyone will agree that Maul would be sliced and diced by GG.

I don't recall Qui-Gon ever clearly winning. He backhands Maul once and then gets kicked in the face. Where's the advantage?

It's possible that your theory is correct, but probably unlikely; I don't see how he could devote to one thing since it's all tied together at some point. I'd say it's more likely that Darth Maul simply fell to the typical movie badguy fault -- giving the hero a chance.
Wanderer, if you are going to quote me and argue the opposite, at least get it right 🙂
I said:

I'm not sure how you interpreted that as me saying that Qui gon kicked mauls ass in the fight. I just said that Qui Gon kicks ass in general saber fighting, and Maul beat Qui gon, so Maul is obviously very very strong. That's what that means dude, not that Qui gon beat Maul.
Maul > Qui-Gon
Grevious > Maul (unless Maul has all the dark force powers that Dooku has)

That is the greatest Star Wars comment I've ever heard. Can I use that in my sig if I credit you?
On topic: This one's kinda lopsided. Grievous has no Force abilities and four lightsabers. Maul has a double-bladed and some of the deadliest skills and Force abilities imaginable. However, Grievous is an accomplished Jedi killer. On the other hand, Maul isn't that low on the killing chart either. He'll do anything to finish a mission. I'm giving this one to Maul.
