You never proved anything you just listed off what you always list off about him beating Anoon and he was tired in TPM. Asajj was a good fight for Anakin 5 months before ROTS, i don't think she would have got her saber cut in half, and then herself cut in half by padawan Kenobi. So maybe Maul was the only one not worthy enough to be the the Sith apprentice. Atleast she would admit it.
Well, Sidious certainly thought that Maul was good enough to be his apprentice, and, unfortunately, it's his opinion that counts, not yours. And Sidious tells Dooku in DR that if he was Dooku he'd kill Asajj for going after Yoda, shows that Sidious views Maul as stronger than Asajj and, again, his opinion counts for far more than yours, mine, or even *gasps!* Advent's or Janus's (no disrespect meant, Janus)!
Oh, and tackle this, if you dare/can (chose whichever word you like best 😛 ):
1. In Dark Rendezvous, Asajj tells Dooku that Sidious will uss Dooku up, here's the dialogue:
«He's going to use you up, Count. He'll drain the blood from you and throw you aside. He'll pick someone younger, weaker, easier to influence.»
«Someone like you?»
«I wish. No, when you go, I'll be swept aside,» she said morosely. «I'm just one of your creatures, to him. Maybe to you, too. Loyalty runs stronger up than it does down, in case you hadn't noticed.»
So, according to Asajj, she isn't good enough to be Sidious apprentice. Maul isn't only good enough to be his apprentice, Sidious actually hand-selected Maul out of a galaxy of hundreds of billions of beings.
2. Maul, when not at his full strength, took on Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, 2 on 1, and nearly beat them. He would have won if Kenobi hadn't gotten lucky, and he killed Qui-Gon. Asajj wasn't to far ahead of J'ai Maruk, and Qui-Gin > J'ai Maruk. Asajj also barely beat Kit Fisto, and Qui-Gon > Kit. Proof of this can be provided if necessary. And remember that this was Maul not as his full strength. The quote for him not being at full strength can be provided, if necessary, as well.
3. Maul beat Anoon Bondara, who was stated in 2 different novels to be the best swordsman in the order. Again, Asajj was barely ahead of Kit Fisto - a least half a dozen of the order's best swordsman could beat Asajj.
4. When enraged, Maul nearly killed Sidious in a lightsaber duel. Asajj was about on par with Obsession Anakin, and neither of them could almost kill Sidious in a lightsaber duel.
5. In he fought ANH Vader and nearly won - as a matter of fact, he was winning the entire time, until Vader got desperate and stabbed his lightsaber through his own body and into Maul, a move that nearly killed himself. Leland Chee confirmed the canonicity of the story on his blog:

Not only do people here put Vader above Asajj, they even put him above Dooku.
6. Physically, Asajj is very fit and strong, but Maul is a beast and has spent 22 years doing absolutely nothing except training. He is in better shape than she is and is bigger as well.
