Anakin Skywalker vs. Darth Maul & Savage Opress [READ DESCRIPTION]
Anakin engages the Sith after watching them brutally execute Padmé, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan. Anakin is blood lusted. (Duh).
Anakin can use Ahsoka's and/or Kenobi's saber(s) if he so desires.
Setting: Open Field
This is not meant as spite, by the way. Just sayin'.
Still Brothers. Don't forget, even Savage puts up a better fight than Jedi Council did. Anakin dies.
Savage Opress probably solos Anakin in normal circumstances, he is absolutely better than Barriss Offee and a little better than Asajj Ventress.

So what? This is Maul Brothers vs Anakin Skywalker. Not Maul brothers vs The B-Team.

As I explained in the other thread, you have to completely deny Skywalker's Immense power. But this is just ridiculous.
Kenobi stomped Opress. Skywalker is just as skilled as Kenobi but much stronger. Therefore Skywalker also stomps Opress.
And before you try and deny this logic, or make excuses for Opress's loss to Kenobi, Filoni himself thought it was completely unbelievable for the newly revived Maul(who was still getting the hang of using the Force again and his new legs, and getting his sanity back) and Opress combined to take Kenobi without a surprise attack. (end of Season 4 IGN interview).

So is Skywalker. And you have no idea how Powerful Dark Barriss is anyway.

Skywalker is MUCH Better than Ventress (by ROTS anyway). In the last episode of Season 5, he Force chokes Ventress with ease, and he became far more powerful after that (since Ashoka left the order).
He's also battered her twice in the past anyway. And that's when she was using both her Sabers. She was restricted to 1 Saber when Opress battered her.
@DP Anakin lacks balance which Obi-Wan has. He also lacks defensive power to resist the Brothers sheer raw power. Obi-Wan's feat in Florrum was inconsistent but even with that inconsistency Anakin has no skill to accomplish to same miracle.
1- Anakin doesn't have same defensive power nor same balance Obi-Wan has
2- Anakin doesn't have that tactical mind to kick Savage's left knee consistently
These two reasons also apply to Anakin's defeat against Obi-Wan in Mustafar.
@Marco
1. Where does it state Anakin lacks balance? His skills and abilities are all equal to kenobi's, but he's much stronger.
2. Oh Anakin's very tactical. He's outsmarted opponents and situations Kenobi couldn't many times. And the knee thing was also basic technique to take down a brute for anyone experienced. Adi attempted it first. But Anakin may not even need to resort to that seen as he's much stronger than Kenobi.
Edit- I'm referring to just Anakin vs Opress here. I will address Anakin vs both Brothers at another time.

1. Why do you think he lost to Obi-Wan ? Anakin was faster and stronger than Obi-Wan and he lost. I will tell you the reason ; his balance was not good as Kenobi's.
Obi-Wan stepped backward onto the conduit without hesitation, his balance flawless as he parried chop after chop. Anakin came on.
But Anakin's momentum had already swung back toward the dissolving wreck of the collection plant, and the Force carried him within reach of another cable.
He turned Anakin's blade aside with a two-handed block and landed a solid kick that knocked the two apart. Before Anakin could recover his balance, Obi-Wan took a running leap that became a graceful dive headlong off the crane deck.
Anakin snarled a curse as he realized he'd been suckered, and leapt off his droid at Obi-Wan's back- Half a second too slow.

1. Because neither could penetrate each others defences without gaining some kind of terrain advantage, because they knew each others moves inside out.
The passage you've given is non canon. Because that's not how Skywalker lost in the film.
2. Outsmarting a tactical genius like Admiral Trench, when Kenobi thought it was useless.
Penetrating the Citadels defenses by freezing in carbonite.
Not to mention he knows all Kenobi's combat moves inside out. So if it's something Kenobi would do in direct combat, Skywalker would at least be aware of the tactic.
