I don't think the notion of Malak losing to Fisto is entirely outside the realm of probability. Fisto is one of the most accomplished duelists in galactic history; Malak does have better Force feats, though. I'd probably give Malak the nod 6 or 7 times out of 10.

Except whatever Force feats Malak has, his lightsaber skills must be superior, according to Mr. Drew.
"Mr. Drew"? Address Karpyshyn by his last name, please. Anything else reminds me of LeGenD and you really ought to distance yourself from that guy.
That Malak is a superior swordsman than a Force adept doesn't really change anything for me since Malak isn't necessarily a superior Force adept vis a vis Fisto; he just has much better feats.
Karpyshyn's commentary is, more or less, what compels me to give him the benefit of the doubt when comparing him to Fisto as a swordsman in the first place. But it doesn't change Fisto's own renown with a blade and it doesn't prove that Malak is the superior duelist.

Malak *is* the superior Force adept. TKing Revan and that Mandalorian alone should prove that.
As I said, Malak has the superior Force feats.

Malak's Force abilities were stated to be "extraordinary", "incredible", and "masterful." Fisto's are not.
Unamplified Malak has no such appellations to his name, as I recall.

Darth Malak's combat skills has been directly compared to Revan's military genius, in which according to Wizards of the Coast, is Revan's greatest factor.
On top of this, Drew *Karpyshyn* stated that Darth Malak's lightsaber skills are superior to Revan's. Meanwhile, Revan is a master duelist with a lot of combat feats I am sure you are familiar with.
Which doesn't mean Malak's combat skills were necessarily equal to Revan's tactical prowess, merely that his skills were his defining trait whereas Revan's was his intellect.

"The ruling Dark Lord of the Sith is a master of the Dark Side of the Force."
―Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide
"Malak's incredible power incacpiates both Carth and Bastila..."
―Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Prima Guide
"An imposing figure with ghostly pale features, prominent Sith tattoos, a gleaming red lightsaber, and devastating Dark Side power, Malak struck terror into the hearts of his former allies."
―Wizards of the Coast: Darth Malak

"While many credited the Revanchist's military strategies for the campaign success, others were quick to point to Alex's fierce courage and relentless fury on the forefront of every battle as the key part to Republic victory."
―The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia
And then, another source states Revan's military genius is his greatest factor. They are two independent sources.

Also, the quote nearly parallels another one:
"Malak gained a reputation as a headstrong warrior who would recklessly charge into danger."
―Star Wars Databanks: Darth Malak
So subscribing Mr. to someone's name is now an issue?
People need to grow up and get some life.
My disliking of Revan novel doesn't means that I should disrespect the author as a person.

If you expect a breakthrough in your discussion with that guy, you are wasting your time. You got to stay from that guy, really.
Don't believe me? Look no further then this thread for evidence on his behavior: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f6/t597205.html
