Lucas has stated that only Yoda and Mace are a match for Sidious. And Anakin if he hadn't been injured. No Dooku.
Also note that Dooku has been classified as a level 8 in lightsaber combat, Sidious a level 9.
And Yoda was beating Dooku but lost to Sidious. I don't care if Yoda's own power was his downfall or whatever he still lost the only time they fought but had the upper hand both times he fought Dooku.
And I don't see being in the elevator giving anyone a particular advantage.
Lucas only talks about Jedi, why would he talk about other Sith Lords?
The numbers in lightsaber combat aren't important either, they haven't been said by somebody with the right to make such claims.
Yoda beating Dooku? didn't see that in AOTC. Yoda was more powerful but Dooku left because he had too, an entire army was coming for him and if he didn't leave right away he would be WTFPwnd.
Yoda was also winning from Sidious in a lightsaber fight he lost in a force fight.
Now why would the elevator help Dooku?
Dooku is the master of the greatest lightsaber vs lightsaber style, if anybody would be good in a fight it would be him, he's also in a small area, where neither he and Sidious can move. Dooku with his use of Makashi can fight perfectly well in a small space, Sidious however most likely uses form Ataru, or Juyo. Neither one of which allow close quarter fighting. Dooku would slice his ass up.
The close quarters also won't allow Sidious to use the force in the way he otherwise could, lightning wouldn't work just raising your hands means your dead. Other force attacks would either not work aginst Dooku or would take to much time, meaning he's daed.

Juyo does take up more movement space then Makashi, which is the ultimate lightsaber style for lightsaber vs lightsaber fighting.
Why would Sidious die if he would use a force technique that takes a whole second to prepare? He would need to lower his lightsaber for it to be powerful, meaning Dooku kills him. He would then need to raise his hands, again Dooku would kill him then he launches lightning. That could very likely be deflected by Dooku his lightsaber just like Mace Windu did. Dooku has the superior lightsaber style and skills and therefor in a closed envirement like this he just wins from Sidious.

Actually, like I said before, could Sidious use Force? No. Is Sidious better in LIGHTSABER combat? No. So what makes you think that Sidious would win? Because of that gay master and apprentice thing? I believe Anakin was stronger than Obi-Wan.
