Taking him at face value would be like me accepting that my friend is the best cricketer ever when I have no idea about pretty much any other cricketer ever. That would be utterly moronic.Utterly. Moronic!
And said conclusion is? [/B]
Ahem.

Kit Fisto vs Grievous^ To be quite honest, Kit Fisto is doing very well against Grievous here. It's oddly contradictory to The Cestus Deception, which details clearly that he uses Shii-Cho and not dual blades, but his adaptation and coolness in the battle is considerable. Obi-Wan's mastery of Soresu really puts him above most Jedi in the series coupled with his considerable experience though, and while Kit Fisto was arguably just ahead of AotC Obi-Wan, RotS Obi-Wan is a far greater animal. I can't see the likes of Kit Fisto holding his own against Anakin for a grueling ten minutes or so.
I can see Fisto putting Anakin on his ass. While there's no way Fisto could hold off an enraged Anakin for the length of time Kenobi did (as that's is not his combat philosophy/fighting style), he still has a chance to overtake Anakin from an offensive standpoint. After all, he laid a pretty hefty smackdown on General Grievous in less time than it took Kenobi to do likewise. Styles make fights. With that being said, I stand by my opinion that Fisto and a handfull of other Jedi are on Kenobi and Anakin's level.
Remember, Fisto and Tinn are some of the greatest duellist in the galaxy, as chosen by Windu. Though unable to compete against Sidious, this was due to his use of Force Speed which tricked the Jedi. Tinn and Fisto can defeat Grievous as Fisto showed his epicness when fighting the Magnaguards and Grievous at the same time. Grievous defeated

Remember, he was picked entirely out of ones on-planet at the time, and who didn't have other important duties/were Anakin 🙂 (Shaak Ti or Anakin)
Though Fisto's definitely one of the best, Tiin doesn't have as much dueling rep under his belt. Still solid, being a council member, of course, and that alone probably puts him in the top 20, but he's not one of the top-top.

Let me check.
Kit Fisto, when confronted with Grievous and three or four Magna Guards, had to flee from the General. Obi-Wan, even during the Clone Wars series, managed to defeat Grievous in a similar situation. The casuality of Anakin and Kenobi dealing with the Magna Guards in RotS also points to them being more competent swordsmen than the likes of Fisto.
MagnaGuards and MagnaGuards working with a competent swordsmen are 2 completely different things as seen when Anakin gets pwned by 3 working with Dooku.
