Subjective assessment.
A subjective assessment supported by all their vastly superior feats and accolades.

Krayt's immortality talent is useless in this kind of contest.
Likewise, Malak's ability to run a Sith Empire is useless too.
Except that Krayt's immortality means that Malak has no real way of killing Krayt permanently.

My point is that Zabraks have biological advantage over humans in the matter of tolerance to pain and recovery from wounds. Maul's recovery from life-threatening wound is extremely impressive but same is true for Malak; A comparison between these two developments is useless, IMO.
And my point is that surviving being cut in half requires ELITE level power and command of the dark side.

1. I don't regard sparring contests as true display of talent.
2. Malak learned a great deal about the ways of the Force under tutelage of Revan and afterwards.
3. Malak was much more powerful during his reign as DLOTS then he ever was during his time as a Jedi.
1. Even so its indicative of mediocre talent. If Malak were that great he would have no problems beating Jarael even in a sparring match. As I recall he also had problems with Cassus Fett.
2. And Maul learned a lot from Sidious.
3. Good for him. That doesn't impress me much.

Leaders get thoroughly tested when running a Sith Empire, they are under constant threat to get overthrown by others in the Empire. In addition, unless Sith followers are convinced that leader is immensely powerful, they are unlikely to respect his command.
Yeah, being a Dark Lord of the Sith makes you powerful. But it doesn't necessarily make you more powerful than the other really powerful characters in Star Wars.
Remember, Kaan was also the leader of a Sith Empire. One that he was actually mentally dominating into following him. Yet Bane eclipsed him in power even as of POD. And Krayt was a leader of a Sith Empire and survived threats to overthrow him, only becoming stronger as a result.
Maul, Vader, Krayt and Bane have all faced worse threats and have been tested more than Malak has. Unless you have some actual proof that he faced greater challenges than those characters did, this point is worthless.

Did I say that Vader, Krayt and Bane are not powerful?I do believe in the possibility of Malak loosing to these individuals but I also believe that Malak can defeat these individuals as well, he is this much powerful.
Also, what do you mean by beaten by Revan over and over? This doesn't makes any sense. Malak's loss is affirmed only at this point: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061213185922/jedipedia/de/images/9/9e/MalakTod.jpg
Prior to this point, it was a fierce struggle between the two.
You seem to think that merely being powerful puts Malak on an even level with them. It does not. These guys are among the most powerful of the most powerful. There is no evidence that Malak can threaten these guys other than that he led a Sith Empire, which doesn't cut it in the slightest.
Er, the whole point of all those Jedi in jars is that Malak uses them to heal himself and replenish his Force power after every time Revan beats him. He beats him at least twice, probably more. The alternative is that Revan is so much better than Malak that he could kill the Jedi while also fighting off Malak, since I doubt Malak would just allow Revan to destroy his trump cards. So Revan did effectively defeat Malak over and over.
And Malak was being amped by the Star Forge, which he is not here.

You think that DT is an instakill? It isn't.And I don't see how Vader and Bane flat out stomp Malak. By this logic, they flat our stomp Revan and even Sith Emperor.
I'm pretty sure that it is.
Revan had trouble with a Malak who was being amped with the Star Forge and who had a dozen Jedi in jars who he could regenerate from. And he had to fight Malak after fighting through the Star Forges defenses, beat Bastila 3 times in a row and defeat a room full of continuously respawning droids.
Without all of that, Malak would be as much of a threat to Revan as Nyriss was. Except Nyriss would also kick Malaks ass imo.
Malak's pretty badass though. He is probably on Maul level, who is no joke.
