Well back on topic, Voldemort Doesn't like being outnumbered even if he is the top dog in HP. I think when it comes to numbers is what shows his weakness.

Palpatine begs for his life.
You wouldn't think so if you met me, fatty. I bet someone like me takes your lunch money every day.
Not really, that's obedience, but this isn't about Anakin.
Sids kills Voldemort then kills the other wizards for fun.
Anyone here actually watch the movies? The beginning of ROTS and the climax of ROTJ are proof enough that Sidious is a "coward" only in as much as he doesn't particularly want to die. But he routinely puts himself in situations where he very well could.
He orchestrates his own kidnapping which results in him being trapped on a wrecked dreadnought experiencing atmospheric reentry; he uses himself as bait at Endor with the entire rebel alliance gunning for him; at various points, he (unarmed) goads and taunts armed enemies into attacking him, in one scenario protected only by timely intervention from a quasi-treacherous subordinate and Palpatine's own response was merely to laugh in the attacker's face; and when trapped by four armed Jedi Masters in his office, Sidious rushes them. And as ares pointed out, Palpatine is clearly feigning cowardice the whole time.
Neither movie!Voldemort or Palpatine are the cowards they are suggested to be. As to which is more cowardly, an argument could be made either way.
Palpatine is braver and more cowardly than Voldemort. His moments of bravery far eclipse anything we see from Tom yet his moments of cowardice are well below what we see form Riddle.
Willingly using yourself as bait as often as he did to achieve his goals shows more bravery than Tom has. Hell hanging around the Jedi for years knowing that one slip up on his part will mean his death is ridiculous when you think about it
But on the other hand cowering before Mace, assuming it wasn't a ploy, was pretty weak, I think it was a ploy myself but hey. And trying to run from Yoda was meh.
That's my humble opinion at least

He let his willpower be bashed by Palpatine. He wanted to rule the galaxy and instead let Palpatine abuse him.
Voldemort would annihilate any Jedi or Sith who stood before him.

Post a pic them, back your claims up.
Anakin isn't here, stop trying to derail the discussion.
He couldn't even annihilate a baby.

You already said physique doesn't mean dick with regards to being in great shape. Come to Ohio, worm.Context. Magic protected the baby.
Still better than being fat. Ohio? Are you some kind of redneck? Figures.
And Voldo wasn't strong enough to get past it. You can bet your acne Sidious would have fried Harry with ease.
