First, weilding a staff is easy, I do it all the time. Second, Maul and Exar are NOT even close to being the only people to ever use a double staff.
It does make you special, because saberstaff-wielding is time and again stated to be one of the most dangerous forms of combat, both to the opponent and the user. But that doesn't mean it guarantees victory. Don't try to discredit Maul, or make it seem like a breeze to use such a weapon. You swing a stick around. Woot. Try that with a weightless beam of plasma that can melt through Space Age blast doors, and see how many limbs you have left.
I'm not saying that use of a saberstaff = total pwnage. But only those of noticeable talent and skill can successfully wield one.
I hand this to Maul, but after a decent fight. Fett's not one to go quietly.

Maul'd beat Jango, no doubt about it. He beat Qui-Gon and Anoon Bondara. Jango had a draw with AOTC Obi-Wan.
Here's a Jango vs. maul story, lets see how it goes.
End of story.
Jango needed a whole bunch of tricks just to hold off Obi-Wan and only managed to escape because Kenobi was a little careless ("Oh not good"😉. Maul is just as fast as Obi-Wan and being a Sith he is ruthless, and doesn't have to show control when it comes to using the Force, after an initial assault from Jango which Maul avoids easily, he cuts down Fett Snr. Now if Jango started the fight in Slave I circling the area Maul was in it might be different.
