No.

Seriously though, Sidious has plenty of canon quotes claiming he's "teh most powerful Sith lord evah".

Being more powerful doesn't mean that he can defeat him in a fight. Even if he were.

While I agree that "power" not necessarily translates into "powerful combatant" I think it is pretty clear that Palpy's Force power solidifies his combat skills. Plus "master of every weapon and every style" (?) comes to mind.
There is, of course, the essay of the one whose name shall not be mentioned, that gives much more detailed info on this.

Read his wookie page for the lulz.

Apparently, as of Forces of Corruption, he could engulf an entire planet in lightning. The source was stated as Forces of Corruption (wookie page for Palpatine, source reference 142)

I am not sure I believe it, honestly. But according to the powahs he had (as said by the page, so do NOT take it as what I believe or as truth) he would own Bane. Oh, and he thought he could control his Storms near the end of DE, and it took Luke and Leia combining their powers to stop it.

You must remember that Bane learned form Darth Revan's holocron himself so he very likely knows how to sue Force Storm and it is likely that he taught it to Sidious himself.

Combined powers of Luke/Leia > any Sith Lord in history?

Awful scary, idn't?

It is quite scary XD

Especially when you think that it didn't take them long either.

Or... I'd just say that's utter nonsense and move on with my life.

Why? Two Jedi with enormous potential should be greater than any single Sith Lord.

But what about Nihilus? ZOMG HE IS SOOOO POWAHFUL OMG OMG OMG DRAIN!!! LUL!!!! NEVAR LOSE1!!!1!1 DRAIN!@!11!! LUL!!!!

Eh, I'd actually say Nihilus probably would defeat them, at least at this point in their careers. Sure they may have more raw power on their side, but against Nihilus raw power doesn't mean all that much.

cosmologically

I've highlighted the issue.

And in any case, Sith are supposed to be stronger martially on average when compared with Jedi. That's the whole point. Exar Kun wasn't "matched" by any Jedi in his era. We don't see Revan and Malak struggling with high level Jedi. Bane, I can't speak for, but his level of power was beastly by comparison too.

Why would Leia, who at this point in her career has almost grown not at all, and Luke who is still a neophyte compared to his later self be better than any single Sith master before them? It just boggles the mind.

Luke Skywalker clearly is an authority figure on the fighting style of every Sith too. Wow, I'd call that a win, but sarcasm is unbecoming.

Wise use of a gift, debating with me at quarter to three in the morning. I'm so formidable you need sources.

Orly? I say this: My source is my *** and I win. It is infallible!
