well, lets think about it. Obi-Wan only beat him before because he used Dark Side emotion power and caught him completely by suprise. ROTS Obi-Wan would never do that. Maul's style, and lightsaber, make it easier for him to fight 1-1.
I think it would be a long and gruesome fight, but Obi-Wan would come out victorious in the end.
well it does mean jack next to mastery of the deadliest form (therfore high level mastery of multiple forms) + mastery of teras kasi and mastery of a deadly double bladed weapon. + Maul's physical and force assisted abilites pushed to their utmost + Mauls martial arts and close combat abilites which hes already proven can knock a much younger Obiwan senseless with a kick.
but what Obiwan wins solely because of his mastery of soresu?? seriosuly doubt it.

did you just ignore all this :
"+ mastery of teras kasi and mastery of a deadly double bladed weapon. + Maul's physical and force assisted abilites pushed to their utmost + Mauls martial arts and close combat abilites which hes already proven can knock a much younger Obiwan senseless with a kick."
Whats Obiwan got against all that apart from his mastery of soresu.
I can see Maul taking this actually. What's Obi-Wan really got over him? In technical ability, with his mastery of Juyo and by extension "high end mastery of multiple [other] forms," mastery of Teras Kasi, his ability to combine it with his saber style to give him a somewhat alien style, and using a weapon that Obi-Wan can't be said to be very familiar with, Maul -- on paper -- easily has the advantage.
Physically, he pushed his physical capabilities and Force assisted abilities to their very limit, which, as a Zabrak who are naturally gifted with a huge capacity for physical strength and being selected by Sidious largely for his potential in the Force, are likely very high. Again, on paper, he has the firm advantage. So really, what has Obi-Wan really got going for him other than a thus far unsubstantiated level of ability with Soresu? By all available evidence, Maul would emerge as the clear victor.

Thus far unsubstantiated? Obi-Wan is THE Master of Soresu. THE Master.
That would be the definition of unsubstantiated. Your claim that Obi-Wan is "THE Master of Soresu" is not only unsupported but overly vague and a tiny bit manic.
As for Obi-Wan not being familiar with the weapon and style...THEY HAVE FOUGHT BEFORE!
"and using a weapon that Obi-Wan can't be said to be VERY familiar with"
If you seriously want to argue that their minutes of fighting each other will give Obi-Wan enough insight into Maul's style that he would gain some kind of advantage more than ten years after their duel, good luck trying to prove up on that crazy assertion.

I'm not trying to wrongly accuse you (so forgive me if I'm wrong) but are you a sock of Darth Power?
According to you Darth Power, Anakin is on par with Mace Windu, and Obi Wan beat Anakin. So unless if Maul > Mace...
