And why is that?

Anoon Bondara was "one of the best fighters in the order. His skill with a lightsaber was second to none."
Darsha Assant "even as an infant she had shown strong Force tendencies," and the day she went to become a Jedi Knight, she "hoped that one day she might be able to exhibit a tenth of Anoon Bondara's adeptness."
When Maul fought Anoon, Maul knew "within the first few moments of the engagement, Darth Maul knew that he himself was the superior fighter."
For Darsha, "It was hard for her to conceive of a situation in which her mentor could be bested in combat, but if anyone was capable of it, she had the feeling the Sith was that one."
Maul made quick work of Anoon, driving him back and then, Anoon, realizing after seconds of confrontation, that he didn't have nearly enough skills to take on Maul, stabbed a speeder bike's engine in attempt to kill both of them. However, in the "microsecond" that Maul had to jump off the platform that the two had been battling on to dodge the explosion, Maul was out of harms way.If Maul is put on the defensive, he has the speed to dodge pretty much everything that's thrown at him, or he can spin his twin blades "so fast they seemed to merge into a crimson shield."
Also, read through this: http://www.swtimeline.ru/?comics=11&page=001
If the fact that it's 90 pages of flipping through turns you off, remember that it's a comic, and, it's about Maul, so naturally, the dialogue is minimal, and, it really doesn't take long.

I don't have a problem with that. People take up for Plo Koon. I like Plo Koon. I've asked for proof of his existance and gotten grief over it. So I might a little miffed, but I still try not to argue unless I'm provoked. But once again ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I am not going to get banned. If others want to be banned good riddance. Peace out I'm off until tomorrow.
LORDSIDIOUS, the purpose of this subforum is so you can argue. You are not going to get banned, so relax.
One thing is for sure, whether or not you like said character has no bearing on whether they will win. It's like saying just because I like my 5'4, 100lb, unfit friend, he has every possibility of simultaneously defeating Mike Tyson and Mohammad Ali in a boxing match. It simply makes no sense.
There needs to be proof why you think a specific character will win in a match. If you don't provide proof, why should we believe you? I could say that Leprechaun's are running circles around us every second of our lives, but unless I make an argument and supply cogent proof through reasoning or direct evidence, why would anyone believe me? So prove up or maybe you should find another pass time.
Mohahammad Ali threw a punch in 1/25 of a second.
Polite conversation: So Zeph, you're a Salvatore fan?
Back to the point: Maul is really one Hell of a fighter. I truly believe that he has the speed and skills to stay alive against these two until Jango tires out. It would be close, but I think he can do it.
You're completely underestimating Anakin here. He, as a padawan, gave Dooku an extremely tough fight, who is in fact above Maul. His force connection far surpasses Maul's own and can give him an advantage via the force. What did Maul do? Throw a piece of debris and push OB1? Wow. Anakin, in one instance, jumped from a speeder, dodged traffic, and landed precisely where he wanted from more that a hundred stories up. While this speaks nothing for raw dueling abilities, it speaks volumes for his overall force abilities. He could easily push Maul to throw him off balance and Jango pegs him between the eyes.
And yes, Ali was one of the only two humans ever noted to punch with the same speed that a cat can strike...the other being Bruce Lee. Ali was a bad mutha..shut yo mouth!

Maul goes down, because he can't win againt AOTC Anakin and Jango together. If they are working well as a team, I don't think Anakin will let Maul disarm Jago quick enough. He'll engage him as fast as he can, and Maul would have no time to disarm Jango. So, Maul will NOT be able to dodge Jangos attacks (like repetitive and fast blaster shots) while fighting Anakin. Besided, Jango's weaponry is powerful and he is very skilled using it. He would simply need too much.
Anakin won't want to work with Jango, he'll probably be pissed at Maul for killing Qui Gon, and rush him. Maul could either kill Jango before Anakin reaches him, or just control the fight, keeping Anakin in-between Jango and himself, seeing as how Maul is a smart fighter. Eventually he'd win the duel, seeing as he dominated a short fight with Anoon, and then he could kill Jango a number of different ways.
I wasn't talking about you cause you don't downplay him in every thread like some people, but just because he ran in on one of the greatest jedi ever and an even greater sith, and got shocked for a second, doesn't mean that he'll go down against Maul, let alone when he has help from the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, who coincidently took out Komari Vosa by himself, who was trained by Dooku.
Oh yeah, Anakin is good, and Jango "I kill Jedi with my bare hands" Fett is a beast. I know all about them.
Maul just stomped on the Jedi's battle master, Anoon Bondara, in seconds, who's skills were "second to none." Maul left piles upon piles of bodies in his wake when he attacked the Black Sun. He killed 7 elite Vigos in what? One second? Two maybe? He dominated the fight with Qui Gon and Obi Wan, running circles around them, and leading them to the generator pit place. He killed a focused Qui Gon in 30 seconds, when Maul had a bad ankle, I think. Maul's everyday exercises would kill an average Jedi. Maul is a Teras Kasi Master. Maul "mastered the lightsaber." Maul had "far superior darkside knowledge" than a Nightsister. Maul was a warrior in his prime.
It would be a tough match, but I genuinely think Maul could pull it off.
