I think Anakin could take this, AOTC ani isnt being given enough credit. He could certainly hold off Koon if he kept a level head, now this is where it falls apart. he will prob think he is better and do something stupid if so they are dead but if he can just defend Koon witch im sure he could for a long time, ROTS ani could take out an older less limbed version of him self in less time and help AOTC, but could he keep a level head, i doubt it.
Well, Plo would get torn to rags in a duel with ROTS Anakin. . . And AOTC Anakin could likely stand up to Vader. Defeat him? Nah. But he'd do good.
Janus, you yourself said that Anakin by AOTC is arguably on par or superior to ESB Luke. Now, Luke, while getting sufficiently thrashed, stood up to Vader quite well, even though the Sith was toying with him for a few moments.
AOTC Anakin, with his vastly superior speed and agility, as well as his not-to-shabby saber skills, could hold Vader for at least a minute or two, long enough easily for Anakin to tear apart Plo Koon.
This would be close. Lets look at the possible combanations:
Plo Koon vs. AOTC Anakin = Plo Koon but Anakin isn't a bad dueler, probably the strongest padawan in AOTC and probably even better than a few Masters, but Plo's one of the strongest Jedi, he;s on the Council and all, but Anakin wouldn't do to badly.
Anakin vs. Darth Vader = Anakin, since Anakin>Dooku>Obi-Wan>Vader, even if Dooku really could have beaten Anakin but wasn't really trying still Anakin, because GL himself said Anakin is stronger than Obi-Wan but we all saw Obi-Wan beat Vader.
Now the question is: Will Plo take out Anakin in time to help Vader double team on Anakin? And my answer is: Yes, assuming, of course, that this is ROTS Vader and not mechanical Vader, in which case Vader'd get owned.
Plo Koon vs. Anakin = Anakin with only a little trouble
AOTC Anakin vs. Darth Vader = Vader with only a little trouble
In this case they'd probably take out their oppponents at about the same time, AOTC Anakin may get taken out a bit faster, though, meaning Plo and Vader would, again, win. So Plo and Vader, but it'd be real close.

Plo's duelling ability is an unknown. I'm treating it as such. Hence why I didn't voice in opinion on the duel itself. But Anakin DOES suck with two blades.
As for AOTC Anakin being on par with ESB Luke, that's being mean to Anakin and nice to Luke. AOTC Anakin is -definately- better in most if not all respects. But the battle in Bespin... Luke was tricky, and perhaps more than Vader had anticipated, but he was not the superior there, and he did not stay alive through his talent, only Vader's good will. When Vader lost his patience for just one second, Luke lost a hand and his blade. Can we say pwned?
Why are you automatically assuming he is good. We know Anakin is a pimp with a saber. We know he held up well against Dooku. We know he defeated Ventress. They use the same form, but Anakin is supposed to have immense physical strength, which I've never heard Plo Koon as being described as having for his own. We know Anakin has killed Jedi Masters. He was THE Hero of the Republic. He was freakin awsome. Then he came tumbing down to crapland. But before that, he could take Plo Koon, who has killed Darth Rage(lol) and then gotten shot down.
I'm not automatically assuming he was good. Pre-clone wars padawan Anakin (aka AOTC) isn't very strong, while Plo was already a respected Jedi Councilmember, it's a logical inference to believe he could hold his own or win, instead of getting pwned by Anakin. Simply because we know more about Anakin, he's the central character of the PT, and he's got the highest midichlorian count of the movies doesn't mean he's automatically god.
Keep unknowns as unknowns.

AOTC anakin would not hold off PLo Koon. Obi wan is slightly weaker than PLo in AOTC, but becomes slightly better than him in ROTS. So, Anakin in AOTC without his master on the ground moaning would not stand out for a long time.
