what has maul done that makes him more skilled then ventress by the way?
He has been described as one of the deadliest sith apprentices in the entire SW mythos, been stated that his physical body and skills were pushed "beyond the limit".
He also defeated anoon bondara whose saber skills were second to none at that time(including yoda i think) and somewhere it states that maul would have fought alot better and possibly killed both qui gon and obi wan had his stamina been full(he was involved in some fight before the duel).
He was also able to tank force lightning and taking no damage to it and of course, despite vaders remarkable force powers and saber skills, he nearly kills vader in a strict saber duel.
The part with the stamina thing should be verified with someone that has the source material because i only remember members brining it up a while ago.
I think theres one more(unverified but i think i remember it) that he nearly killed sidious in a fit of rage in a strict saber sparring session.
