The evidence alone may have been insignificant in light of other facts perhaps, however technically, technically, it would qualify as supporting evidence, as alone, it puts the odds in Galen Marek's favour, until further elaboration or counter evidence is provided.
Yoda is the best swordsman in the Jedi Order, according to the Power of the Jedi Sourcebook even, and the quality of those who've stalemated him far outweighs the quantity of folks listed except perhaps that maimed cyborgVader.

So then I can see two options:
1. That he did intend for that comparrison (number of matches won) to be the deciding factor in Yoda's performance against Starkilleror
2. That he did not intend for that comparison to be sufficient to prove his case and has left his assertion ("Even Yoda isn't beating him effortlessly."😉 unsupported.
Okay spuddy.
Galen has been stated to have all but perfected lightsabre combat (as in, he's a hairsbreadth away from perfecting it).
He's a Juyo expert, which means he's a high-level master of multiple forms.
Even his training sessions were done with an opponent who was trying to kill him.
Darth Vader was 80% of Palpatine's power and Galen trashed him (as in soundly defeated him, not that Vader didn't put up a good fight).
I'd say that "Even Yoda isn't beating him effortlessly" is reasonable enough.

But was bested by Shaak Ti in saber combat, who is no where near as good as Yoda.
He's a Juyo expert, which means he's a high-level master of multiple forms.I believe Yoda mastered all forms, and is one of the greatest Aturo practitioners.
Even his training sessions were done with an opponent who was trying to kill him.Yeah.
Darth Vader was 80% of Palpatine's power and Galen trashed him (as in soundly defeated him, not that Vader didn't put up a good fight).Galen, more less won a force contest. It was not strict lightsaber combat.
Vader being 80% the power of Palpatine has nothing to do with skill.
I'd say that "Even Yoda isn't beating him effortlessly" is reasonable enough.Not in an all out setting, no. But if this were a strict lightsaber contest, i don't see Galen giving him too much trouble.
