a) It's the opinion of a Jedi Master, one much more skilled than Mara.
Skill has nothing to do with it. Particularily when he then turns around and starts talking about things that never occured. Either he's lying, remembering it wrong, he's insane or he's smoking something. Either way it makes everything he says very, very fallible.
b) Doesn't mean it's not canon. It's not contradicted in any way.
Its canon that thats what Windu wrote in his diary about a dream he had which defy past events. Canon, this makes it not.
c) He was shooting. As he was shooting, his hand came off, along with the blaster. He was as good as dead anyways. Not that it matters, because it's simply your interpretation of the fight.
He was shooting at him with a blaster, slowly I might add, which is something so pathetically easy for jedi to deal with a teenaged padawan can do it. In fact they do.

1.30 Notice how that boy deflects dozens of rapid shots in quick succession, rather than the, what, 4? shots that made Jedi Master Mace Windu 'parry desperately'.

Yes, clearly he was having trouble there. The guy really pushed him for all of the 6 seconds of intense, nail-biting combat between two Titans of this mortal coil. 😐 Yes its my interpretation, but the thing is, my interpretation is backed up by something other than one throwaway line that should obviously not be looked at seriously.
