Not really. It's more a situation of me not being able to see him killing Wolverine, unless we assume a saber can cut through adamantium. So it'd just be the whole day of Sidious throwing Wolverine around like a rag doll via force TK, able to KO but not kill him. But if we do assume his saber can cut through adamantium, he can decap Wolverine.

Magneto is another one. Powerful he is but I see no defense that he would have from being force choked.
Well, he can't really stop Sidious from choking him. But he can still use his powers while being choked. Which still allows him a lot of options to fight back. Main difference here between Wolverine and Magneto is that Wolverine is a melee, street-level brawler. Magneto is a mutant powerhouse with a lot of range and control. For example, Magneto could still grab Sidious' saber and attack him with it. Or any metal from the surrounding area. Can Sidious maintain a force choke while defending against a barrage of metal shrapnel?

Well, considering his lungs would have been filled with water, rendering him utterly unable to breath for several minutes, and he survived that just fine, I don't see how force choke will be any different. Cutting off someone's oxygen supply is cutting off someone's oxygen supply. The techniques to do it might vary, but the effect and end results are the same. Only way to kill him would be a decap, assuming the saber can cut through adamantium.

Ah, the age old argument, adamantium versus lightsaber. My theory is that adamantium will withstand a few blows from a lightsaber, but after a dozen or so, the adamantium will weaken and give way.

Yeah, not really sure. For the purposes of this fight, I am just going to assume a lightsaber can cut through adamantium with enough blows. Otherwise, there would be no point to pitting them in a death match. We do know, from The Wolverine, that superheated adamantium can cut through normal adamantium with little problem. Either way, Wolverine isn't actually winning this fight, as there is nothing he can do to Sidious unless Sidious allows it.
Only people on this list I see giving him trouble or possibly beating him are Magneto, Thor or Spidey. None of the people listed who lack ranged attacks stand a chance.

One adamantium object cutting through another has always seemed stupid to me. But that is irrelevant here in anyways, as Sidious doesn't have any on hand. I raised the point about the super heating because a lightsaber can in fact generate a shit ton of heat once it comes into contact with a solid surface. So I don't think it will cut right through by any means, but there might be case for it slowly melting through adamantium or weakening it, from repeated saber blows, or pressing the saber against it for an extended period of time.

Obi-Wan was able to fight General Grievous and handle his abnormal speed. Sidious is much faster and more powerful than Obi-Wan. Since Wolverine has shown no ability to dodge attacks in the movies, I see Sidious striking him probably a hundred times in a minute. That would be a decapitation of Wolverine.

So yes, I see Sidious be able to dodge attacks with his speed while maintaining a choke hold on Magento until he is KO or dies.
Here is the link to the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OTHjSG61SI
Please tell me where the struggle was? They had to add to close two more doors to fortify themselves since the saber was cutting through the first one like nothing. And was still cutting through the second and third doors.
That was only in a few seconds before the destroyers showed up to distract the Jedi.

How long does it take for a force choke to kill someone? I have never seen it take more than a few secs. Sidious has abnormal speed as shown in ROTS. Sidious we also know is more powerful than Vader. In ESB Vader was choking people from across space while talking. When fighting Luke he was able to move objects without the use of his hands or pointing to the objects while fighting. Vader was taught by Sidious.So yes, I see Sidious be able to dodge attacks with his speed while maintaining a choke hold on Magento until he is KO or dies.
Well, Anakin had Padme in a force choke for about 10 seconds and she survived. During the "I find your lack of faith disturbing" scene he chokes a guy for 15 seconds and he survives. When he chokes that guy over the monitor the guy dies, but it takes 17 seconds, and you hear and audible crack at the end, which suggests more than simple asphyxiation. And the key thing is, all these people were helpless and had no way whatsoever of fighting back. Magneto does.
And as to Sidious simply dodging everything while also maintaining a force choke, this is where you and I disagree. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest a force user can maintain a force choke for several seconds, while dodging multiple projectiles coming from various directions. And let's say he can dodge things coming directly at him, it won't help Sidious if Magneto creates a shrapnel storm around him. Dodging one piece of metal doesn't help when it puts you in the path of five others. And once a piece of metal gets under Sidious' skin, he is going to be in trouble.

I gave you the example in ESB where Vader move objects while fight Luke. He was attacking with his saber while objects were flying at Luke.
If Sidious can maintain the choke then the match is over he is too fast to be hit by flying metal. So lets say he cannot maintain the hold for the sake of the battle. Magneto only advantage would be to do aerial attacks.
Sidious, is too fast for Magneto. Sidious could attack Magento from any direction or location with TK or force lighting. He also can send non-metal objects at Magneto that would force Magento to go on the defensive. Magento only chance is to hope there is enough metal around to throw at Sidious.
I really see nothing that would make Magneto survive in a one on one battle with Sidious.
