I'd go Kas'im, as he is far more of a masterful duelist than Grevious, multiple sources claim fear as Grevious' greatest weapon.I doubt Kas'im would be afraid of him.
He was still able to go toe to toe with Mace Windu, who obviously had no fear of him. He was also apparently capable of pressing Dooku in their sparring matches, who was even less so. Obi-Wan Kenobi has also consistently had trouble with him.
Not only this, but he's also taken on four [named] Jedi Knights and annihilated them, though he did have the intimidation advantage there. He's replicated the feat more than once, though...
He's also outright defeated master swordsmen: Adi Gallia, Ki-Adi Mundi, and Pablo Jill being excellent examples. Even if he was defeated by the likes of Assaj Ventress [if we disregard that the battle was on a Dark Side nexus...] that's still hardly a low showing.
His processor's calculations serve as a sharp alternative to the Jedi's precognition, and it also additionally allows him to study, counter, and even replicate advanced styles such as Mace's Vaapad after only a few exchanges.
Even if he were lacking in skill or experience to these two, he's still got the superior physical capabilities. Between strength that can rip apart durasteel like cheap paper, speed that can dish out twenty strikes every second, and being durable enough to tank canon fire, it's hard to discredit Grievous.
Grievous's only real disadvantage here is his lack of the Force, which is significant, but he has more than his share of dirty tricks to get around this weakness.
I'm still siding with him until further notice.
Windu? Eh, you might be right, but I think Windu was trying to take him alive, as we've seen Windu could annihilate him.
As for Kenobi, never really 1v1 though.
Almost all of Grevious' best defeats were done with Magna guards or A droid army. IE, Eeth Koth, Kenobi...
Hell, If he couldn't press Dooku I'd be shocked, Grevious' style SHOULD be a perfect match for Dooku.
Windu? Eh, you might be right, but I think Windu was trying to take him alive, as we've seen Windu could annihilate him.
Nothing suggests either point to be true. In fact, Grievous was significantly disadvantaged in that fight, and still was only defeated by harping on said disadvantages.
As for Kenobi, never really 1v1 though.
What? It's almost always been 1v1. Their first real battle was in Season 2, and while Grievous had Magna Guards they were killed before they started fighting. Their second battle in Season 3 was 1 on 1, no one else involved. In their third battle in Season 5, both of them had support. In all of the above matches, Grievous was actually winning for the most part too.
In RotS it was also one on one, and while Kenobi was able to defeat him this time, he was nearly evicerated more than once.

What about Adi Gallia? The 5 Jedi from LoE? Assaj Ventress and Durge? Ki-Adi Mundi?
