The only material I know of comes from the Power of the Jedi Source book and it mentions, I believe, that QGJ ONLY equals Windu when Windu is NOT using Vaapad and ONLY in a sparring setting. Sparring doesn't necessarily indicate what actual combat would be like between 2 combatants. Mace Windu at full potential (i.e. circa RotS, in life or death combat using Vaapad) is >>>>>>>>> than QGJ.

Not a single source book states that they were equals and not a single sourcebook mentions them sparring. Please, believe me, I checked every single one personally. It is false claim from wookieepedia and nothing more, the source it references is false. Qui-Gon has never been Windu's equal. In every source book Windu is stated to be equal only to Yoda and no one else.
I've never read he's equal to Yoda in Combat.
There's just a vague reference of him being a Jedi Master on par with Yoda.
But nothing specific is mentioned in relation to combat abilities as far as I know.

Checking Wookiepedia, it seems like it's supposed to be from the novel Cloak of Deception.
