It stands to reason that Revan was good, but to what degree? It's hard to classify, seeing as nothing in either game cements his abilities compared to the stronger characters of earlier and later eras.

I think the fact that Revan was the best in an order of tens of thousands, is enough for him to be superior to MAul.
What a crock. Nevermind that Anoon Bondara's prowess with a blade was described as "second to none" by the omniscient narrator, and that Maul made short work of him.
You'll need more proof than that, Sexy.
Regarding Revan's proficiency in melee combat:
- He single handedly killed two large Terentatek beasts (who are heavily armored and are immune to Force attacks) and that too easily with his blade. This is a feat that even the top Jedi hunters of KOTOR period failed to accomplish.
- He destroyed Yusanis (the most powerful Echani warrior ever known) in a single combat that involved duel with melee weapons.
- Revan played a major role in the destruction of an entire Sith army stationed on the Star Forge. He also killed a high profile "Sith Lord" in a saber duel, who was among the greatest warriors of his age and was better then Maul in most aspects of the Force.
Also, Revan was acknowledged to be a Prodigy in the end of KOTOR by the most famous Jedi Master of his age due to his impressive feats in the battle of the Star Forge.
Some more things to keep in mind:
- Revan's precognition capabilities are excellent.
- Revan is very strong in the Force.
- Revan is believed to be among the greatest practitioners of Jar Kai Saber combat style.

Revan PWNS.
Got any, y'know, proof?

By means unknown.

Prove up. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so. As far as I recall, you can use Force stun on them.

Where's the evidence of how he killed them, hm? Your stating conclusions without any viable proof.
He destroyed Yusanis
Prove up. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so.

Uh. Who said it was a saber duel? Once again, your stating conclusions without any viable proof. What source supports that the duel between Malak and Revan was a lightsaber battle for longer than say, two seconds (or even if you're referring to Bandon, the same applies)?
Oh? What's that? It's just another feat you pulled out of your ass without giving any forethought?

Which means little to jack shit. We've seen cases where someone who is much, much more stronger in the Force is incapable of defeating an opponent in lightsaber combat.
Also, Revan was acknowledged to be a Prodigy in the end of KOTOR by the most famous Jedi Master of his age due to his impressive feats in the battle of the Star Forge.
Big f'in deal. It hardly matters when dealing against another prodigious being.
Revan's precognition capabilities are excellent.
Maul can see the near future too, what's your point? Revan's precognitive abilities aren't infallible, insomuch as he canonically got caught twice in attacks.
Revan is very strong in the Force.
As was Anoon Bondara, who was capable of picking up boulders with ease as a padawan, and was described by the omniscient narrator as "living in the Force".
Revan is believed to be among the greatest practitioners of Jar Kai Saber combat style.
Right. "Is believed"? By who? A crack whore with a bum leg? Give me the quote and source, now. Not that it matters, as just because one is believed doesn't mean one actually is.
And even if he is, what does that even mean in the context of this fight? Again, I must bring up Anoon Bondara, who's technical prowess was unmatched during his era. Which speaks volumes.

Uh, what in the blue hell are you babbling on about? Elaborate.
Just what I wrote my pet. Revan's a prodigy and the best in the order, but it's hard to compare the two orders without more information. Ergo, I hate seeing Revan in a saber duel.
Escape, I feel the same way about Exar Kun or even Sidious.

To define Maul as a character rather than a marketing ploy is idiocy.
You're a funny guy, exanda.

Right, but how does that equate into "it's highly unlikely Maul can defeat him"?
Which is what I'm questioning, as that makes about as much sense as you calling me your "pet".
Ergo, I hate seeing Revan in a saber duel.
Oh, but you're willing to say that it's doubtful Maul wins based on... absolutely nothing! Wait, I forgot about his "greater Force abilities". Surely those will net him the win. *rollseyes*.
