Sorry about the above post, I am stealing wi-fi from a neighbor on my laptop and it wans't working properly. I left and went to a new years party, then tried posting it again, not knowing that it had already posted the first time. I tried to edit it, but then the connection kept failing and I can only edit a message for 15 minutes - I ran out of time. Sorry again.

Okay I will admit I had completely forgot that Mundi had been fighting GG for a longer point of time. Everyone's seen that "Look at what a fatigued Mundi can do with the Force" feat. It matters not here for we are talking about lightsaber dueling. The fact is that a focused Darth Maul not taunting or holding back killed a focused Qui Gon Jinn in 32 seconds after the force field opened up. QQ>Maul in lightsaber combat. He's just too fast and strong not to mention he can effectively fight with 5 lightsabers. On Tantooine when Maul jumped off the speeder he must've fought Jinn for meybe 20 seconds and Jinn managed too escape exhausted when Maul was wanting more. Jinn is just seriously outclassed and gets demolished by Grievous here.
Is this a saber duel? I don't see where it says it's a saber duel, so it's an all-out duel, Force and sabers. Maul caught Qui-Gon off guard by hitting him in the face with the handle of his lightaber, and they seemed pretty close during the entire 32 seconds. Did you mean GG > Maul in saber combat? If yes, I'm not so sure, ROTS Grievous and Maul are probably pretty even with sabers. In the desert Qui-Gon was caught by surprise, but more importantly, he was exhausted from running through the desert. I run track, I'm a sprinter. The fastest kid on my team, Antwan, can beat me by a fairly large margin, but if I ra two miles through the desert first, he'd completely obliterate me. Similar to the Maul vs. Qui-Gon fight in the desert on Tatooine. Remember, Jinn rivaled Mace and was one of the Order's finest swordsmen. Dooku says he'd pity EU Grievous should Grievous face any of the Jedi Masters on the Council, and Jinn is at least as strong as most of them are.

No because Yoda can solo this.
I seriously doubt that. Dooku alone is good enough to give Yoda a tough fight, and EU Grievous is strong enough that he gave Mace Windu a good fight in LOE and Dooku says he's often hard-pressed to defeat Grievous. Dooku could distract Yoda with the Force while Grievous comes at him with lightsabers, and then when Grievous attacks him with sabers, Dooku can stop using the Force and come over with his lightsaber and attack Yoda as well, and Yoda is very powerful but even he couldn't survive that, only a couple people could, NJO Luke, DE Sidious, Darth Caedus, and perhaps a couple others.
