Still, Darth Revan was the Dark Lord of the Sith in a time when there were powerful Sith like Uthar Wynn, Jorak Uln, and of course, Darth Malak. Then again, that all ended when Revan quite literally had a bad fall.........
His fall does not make him weak, if anything it shows he was to powerful to challenge directly. Malak also says Revan is more powerful now then before, but the thing is Malak thought he could defeat Revan he has no real proof of that. He doesn't know if he could defeat Revan because he never tried.. Well he did once and he lost, most likely lost his jaw at the same time. So on this matter I wouldn't trust Malak all that much, he has no reason to lie. But he also can't be really sure. He believed he was more powerful but its clear that Revan did not believe so otherwise Malak would have been dead.
