That wasn't in ROTS, and that was hardly Anakin performing at his peak. ROTS Skywalker is only slightly below Dooku who can push Jedi Masters back with his lightning, casually TK them into his blade, kill multiple force sensitives with his lightning, TK people on Leneer's level with a finger.

All those feats were Force feats, which isn't something Anakin compares to Dooku in. 😬And Anakin and Barriss' fight wasn't that far off from RotS and he was decently pissed.
Doesn't compare? Dooku shit his pants at Anakin's Force Scream, Skywalker's not so far off that he 'doesn't compare. Decently pissed does not equal going all out. And if you don't think Dooku wouldn't absolutely cream Barriss in raw sabers I don't even know what to tell you.

Yeah, you're right. Anakin totally compares and that's why he casually ragdolled Barriss right at sta- oh no wait, he had to wear her down for 2 minutes, get disarmed, kicked off a building and get force pushed into a pillar first. His standard Force powers don't stack up to Dooku's. If Anakin was as good as you say he'd absolutely cream Barriss as well even without "going all out", which nothing suggests he wasn't. Yet he did not.

Nothing suggests he wasn't seriously? Anakin the dude Mace says is "arguably the most powerful Jedi alive" struggles against Barriss ****ing Offee while going all out. Give me a ****ing break, there's only so much stupidity I can take.
Leneer is not one of the best fighters in the era. She's a knight that had a good day against a Malgus who admitted that his weakness was exploited.
Plus Leneer did so well only because of her vendetta, something she's not going to have against Anakin. She ain't even a master. And yes technically neither was Anakin but it wasn't because his powers weren't Master level.
She was one of the best fighters of the era. Malgus was a top dog of the war, the most dangerous darksider Satele ever met and she met some good ones. He beat Darach, Adraas, Satele, Zallow and that badass Zabrak dude and headed the two most important missions of the War, the retaking of Korriban and the Sacking of Coruscant. He was easily Dark Council material and Aryn stalemated and tagged him with her saber more than once.
The same goes for Aryn. She put up a better fight than Master Zallow, who was mowing down the greatest Sith Warriors in the galaxy. To suggest she wasn't Master material is simply wrong.

I'll say Anakin, albeit in a good fight.
