Except its explicitly stated that Dooku regularly whooped Mace when they dueled.
Terrible on many levels. First, it was never stated that he wiped him numerous times, in fact, the narration only goes towards a draw or a slight dooku advantage. Futhermore, this is undoubtedly before Mace's prime and before he invented Vaapad or shatterpoint. Lastly, just like in MMA or boxing... Sparring is vastly different than a real life fight. Especially sparring with friends. This is even more so when we're talking about life and death situations.. Those are exponentially different than sparring among friends. Not even remotely comparable.
ILS is the second ignored... I have had enough of ILS bullshits for today, most of his comments comes from so called experts of Comicvine anyway, ILS doesn't even have any original post, he is just repeating the same fallacy of CV...

You have no idea what you're talking about.It never gave him an edge against Bulq, Maul, or Ventress, so why would it work here?
Maul: We don't know how long they really fought.
Ventress: That wasn't a serious fight. Ventress knew she doesn't stand a chance.
I don't remember what exactly happened when he fought Bulq.
He was holding back against Bulq.
'''Mace was highly distressed that his mission involved fighting his old friend and colleague Sora Bulq.
- Source : Fact Files #108'''
Then he stomped Ventress.
''Do not assume, however that we are equals, we are not.''
Not to mention, same Ventress was skilled enough to maimed Anakin,
Actually, I don't care about Sparring Matches, but it seems some people gives value to them. Then here is, Obi-Wan vs. Anakin ;

That's just confirms the point that they've sparred so much that they know each others moves so well. Which is the reason they are equal when fighting each other.
The novel and Gillard both confirm this.
