Pre-ANH Vader was able to choke out Starkiller among many other Jedi consistently.
TCW Anakin could choke out Ventress as well let us not forget.
So ROTJ Vader taking out Ventress via TK, whom let us not forget has been TK'd by Ahsoka Tano and a number of Jedi Masters all inferior to Vader by increasingly large degrees is actually quite likely.
TPM Maul is inferior to Vader by a considerable margin in combative applications of the Force. Meanwhile Vader's lightsaber skill is more experienced and refined.
Though yes Maul is touted as one of the most skilled swordsman of all time, Vader is touted as the greatest Jedi killer ever.
The Vader that defeats 'Maul' via impaling himself is far from prime Vader.
Prime Vader wins with medium difficulty.
Trying to call me out on some kind of bias will not work.
