Exactly. It's the best fighter that wins any fight (trust me, I've been in many fights with guys who are much stronger than me but have no clue how to throw or take a punch). Being the best fighter is made up by many things. Being more powerful is part of that, however, smarts (aka experience and training) is equally important. Obi-wan had more smarts than Anakin even though Anakin is more power. When you take Obi-wan's smarts plus his power it is greater than Anakin's smarts plus his power (at least at the time of their fight on Mustafar). The same was true for Mara and Jacen when they fought. Jacen is very powerful, but his power lies in things like the ability to do weird shit with the Force. He doesn't have the smarts to be a great fighter.
