. I don't think that Anakin can defeat him even in pure Saber Combat.Revan wins in all cases. And will easily destroy Anakin in the Force contest. [/B]
Yoda is stated to be "the most devastating foe the dark side had ever seen".
Meaning: Yoda could beat up ANY Sith before him. If Anakin, in "teh zone", IS better than Yoda in saber combat (which he is), then he IS by LOGIC better than Revan.
However, in my opinion, Anakin's already the best lightsaber duelist in RotS, even without being in "teh zone" (yes, slightly better than Yoda, too).

Sorry...but LMAO.
Anakin is certainly not better than Yoda in terms of saber combat. Never. Yoda is far faster and far more experienced in comparison to Anakin. Hell...technically Anakin would not even be able to hit Yoda in a lightsaber duel going by the fact that three Jedi (including Depa Billaba, who's bladework exceeds that of Mace Windu according to Mace's words) attacking him simultaneously weren't able to do that. Not to mention his blaster defense action when fighting his way into the temple with Obi-Wan. He deflects more than 40 blaster shots aimed at him from 8 different ankles in under three seconds. There's nobody in the PT who does even come remotely close to his lightsaber abilities. Really...
What? Anakin not even being able to hit Yoda? I know he's fast, but c'mon... I wouldn't say there's nobody in the PT that doesn't even come close because... there's Sidious. I'm not sure, but I think they were stated to be equals by the omnicent [sorry if spelled wrong] narrator.
And if Anakin is not slightly better than him, [though I do think so] then I would say he is slightly behind, but definitely not leagues behind, as you say.
He defeated Dooku with extreme ease in less than 5 minutes, something I doubt Yoda could acheive.
Palpatine described him as being "the most gifted Jedi he has ever met".
Even Mace Windu [who always opposes his actions and greatly distrusts him] says that his skills are exceptional. And the omniscient narrator would describe Skywalker as:
The most powerful Jedi of his generation. Perhaps of any generation. The fastest. The strongest. An unbeatable pilot. An unstoppable warrior [Revenge of the Sith novelization].
Even considered hyperbolic, it undoubtedly tells us that he is incredibly powerful & massively skilled.
In less than 15 years, Skywalker mastered Djem So to be able to wield the form with enough skill & grace for Count Dooku to recognize him as being as "fine a one he had ever seen".
And that's obviously a HELL OF A LOT of Jedi, given to the fact that Count Dooku was in the Order for many, many, many years.
That says quite a lot.

SW you are definitely the ultimate Revan fanboy here now. There is nothing that says Revan's lightsaber skills are so great that Anakin can't beat him pure saber combat. Especially when he is teh zone. [/B]
And we will never know that whether Anakin is better then him in Saber Combat or not because Revan is an unknown in that regard. Still it is said that he was a skilled swordsman.

You mean the case in which he lost to Obi-Wan. Nopes!
A Jedi no matter how skilled and powerful, cannot win in a fight if he/she is not concentrating well or fighting with limited focus.
Concentration and Focus are key to success in any situation. Master Yoda also emphasizes on these things.
Force powers for Dooku against Anakin clearly goes to Dooku but that didn't help Dooku overall. Anakin isn't the one to sit ideally by and allow his opponent the slightest chance to make a counter attack. He goes in and goes in strong.
I don't care how great in the Force you are; when you have Anakin twirling a lightsaber aimed for your head you are more aimed to try and block it. Heck Dooku could have done to Anakin what he did to Obi-Wan but Anakin went berserk on him not even giving him that chance.
