Barsen'thor vs Revan
Having gotten his butt kicked by the Hero of Tython, Revan tries to console himself by thinking that hey, he's still the second most powerful Jedi ever, right? Only for the mighty Barsen'thor to tap him on the shoulder and kind of shake his/her head pityingly. Enraged, Revan challenges them to a fight!
The fight takes place on Belsavis. Cuz I like Belsavis.

However, let us not underestimate Revan. His performance on Star Forge is comparable or close.
I think that Revan is part of the "elite camp" of the mythos because of his unique grasp of the ways of the Force. Mr. Drew mentioned to me once that he envisioned Revan to be so talented in the ways of the Force that he could develop new Force powers. This can be true canonically since Revan mastered both the light and dark aspects of the Force and could figure out things that were beyond the understanding of many with such a command.
However, with Revan, it is not just about power or understanding of the ways of the Force. He have his ambiguity, unorthodoxy and tactical brilliance to complement his effectiveness.

Nah, Revan's utterly owning of Nyriss is even more impressive. Nyriss is, after all, capable of incredibly potent lightning and capable of humiliating the Exile.

I disagree. Malak was powerful and everything, but he wasn't amped to the same degree that Vivicar was. And Vivicar/Morrhage at least rivals Malak in power by himself.
Also Revan had better support than the Consular did (who at the time only had Qyzen and Theran) in the form of Jolee, Juhani, Canderous, Carth, HK etc. And the Barsen'thor was greatly weakened right from the start.

Yeah, and the Barsen'thor 'embodies true skill.'

The Barsen'thor equaled or surpassed this feat when she blocked an explosion that demolished a blast door at close range. Again, while weakened. And then went on to fight through a ship and kick Vivicars ass.
