You keep saying that GG is the best. He might be the best because he only fought Jedi. He might be unprepared to fight someone as good as Maul, let's face it, Obi was lucky and was just in a street-fighting mode. Against Maul, GG would need to be verrrry careful. Plus it also said in the novelization that GG basically learned all the forms by fighting Jedi. He wouldn't have seen Maul fight before and therefore would not have any advantages in a fight which gives Maul the win.

The forms you speak of are in fact lightsaber forms, and have no bearing on hand to hand combat. A kick is a kick, whether its from Maul, or a lying down OB1...same outcome, "BING"..."OWWWW!!!!" I'm not saying GG is the best fighter, I'm saying he's the one who would survive. Tell you what...go up to a guy, any guy, and punch him in the face. Then go up to a car, truck, whatever, and punch an engine block...i guarantee that you will have two very different outcomes. Now, imagine if that engine block was punch at you with 4 arms and two legs, with speeds not possible by a human...see where I'm going with this?
Imagine Bruce Lee or Muhammad Ali (the only two men quoted as punching as fast as a cat can swipe) punching at you...imagine both of them punching you at the same time..think you'll survive? Now triple the speed and make those hands metal. No way anyone could beat him. Sorry if that at all sounded redundant, but some people need as many examples as possible.
Grievous is most definately not the best fighter here in terms of technique. In terms of prowess, I'd say Maul is the best and Jango is up there as well. But Grievous possesses physical attributes that dwarf his contemporaries in this thread. He's faster, stronger, more agile, and has better reflexes.
Subjekt is very much right.

Grievous is physically stronger because he has a metal body.

Yup yup. The only one I see beating him (and all the others on the list) is good ol' Durge.
He threw Obsession Anakin (with his lightsaber) through a wall after playing around with him in melee.
Vader would be tough, too. He has incredible strength. Also, he pimp-slapped Boba Fett and punched through the skull of a giant beast.
Subjekt, I agree that Grevious would survive. What I meant to say with the styles is that from what I have seen/read, not many Jedi had unarmed combat training- with the exception of Mace and Kit. As in the fight with Obi, he was just trying to do his best to hurt GG with his fists in a uncoordinated way, whereas Maul could use technique to at least make the fight close.
Let's eliminate GG from the Poll then, would anybody have a chance then against Maul? I say yes (Mace), but I still think that Maul would beat Mace, even though Mace is black and automattically gives Maul damage with that.

In hand-to-hand combat, either Maul or Windu. Maul's a master of Teras Kasi. Windu was shown to deadly in fists (Shatterpoint), and was able to give Kar Vastor, the lor pelek and a strong hand-to-hand fighter, a helluva fight.I go with Maul.
Yeah, pretty much what he said.
Windu would rape those other guys, mabye even Maul as well.
Maul is the most skilled, but I'd call Mace about as deadly.
Jango and Kit both deserve mentioning, too, due to the description of Kits fighting in CD, and Jango killing armed Jedi knights (note the plural) with only his hands.
However, Greivous is made of metal, and, his only chance of going down to an opponent on this list is a tough win (and not that probable) for Mace, via shatterpoint.
Of people not on this list, Bane is worth mentioning, because he is big, strong, fast, and has experience in brawling in those mines. Also, every Yhuzzhan Vong... ever. Slayers would be a *****. Lastly... Durge ftw. You can't put him down, and, he can toss Obsession Anakin around, while toying with him.
