Cin Drallig held off an enraged Darth Vader and his Clones throughout a decent length of the temple. Meaning that for at least a good five or six minutes he held off a better version of the Jedi that killed Dooku in far less time.Cin Drallig is also put over Shaak Ti as a swordsman in the Revenge of the Sith novel, a character much more skilled than Atton Rand or Canderous for certain. HK-47 will be a problem but he isn't carrying this.
Cin is no average Jedi, as should be common sense.
No he didn't. 😬
Vader beat him in a short exchange, a few attacks. As stated in sources.
"Stone-faced, Obi-Wan watched younglings run into the room, fleeing a
storm of blasterfire; he watched Cin Drallig and a pair of teenage
Padawans-was that Whie, the boy Yoda had brought to Vjun?-backing into the
scene, blades whirling, cutting down the advancing clone troopers with
deflected bolts. He watched a lightsaber blade flick into the shot, cutting down first
one Padawan, then the other. He watched the brisk stride of a caped figure
who hacked through Drallig's shoulder, then stood aside as the old Troll
fell dying to let the rest of the clones blast the children to shreds."
-Revenge of the Sith
It does say something very different.
Its even less of a fight. 😐
And to back up my previous post:

Pfft, it's been decade/s since Dooku even met Drallig, he doesn't know how good he is at the time. Drallig is old and who knows how good he is against non-duelists.
He's mentioned in the same breath as Mace and Obi-Wan. Anakin defeated Drallig in 10-15 seconds. Dooku defeats Ventress in around that amount of time, but no one gives Ventress shit. Anakin is likely at the peak of power at this point, losing to him is hardly a negative. If anything its a feat for Anakin.

How are you estimating the time duration of Drallig's clash with Anakin. It was brief bout and Drallig got owned. Nothing impressive here.
It doesn't really matter how long the clash lasted. The point is that his lost to Anakin is a feat for Anakin not a negative for Drallig. Malgus cut down Kao Cen Darach in around the same time once he was bloodlusted, and thats far before his peak.

Dooku beat Ventress with the Force though.
Maybe. I recall her getting a few kicks on him even without a saber in their last fight though. Just pointing out that Dooku didn't stomp her in sabers.
But the point is still that Drallig only has Dooku's opinion that he's any good. The only fight we see him in is when he gets creamed by Skywalker. And personally I think a few people could do better than that. Shaak Ti for instance.

Cin was noted as being better than Shaak Ti during the Temple attack, and also marked a priority threat by Vader due to his skill. Ti had no such thing on her.

Wow...case withdrawn. I own the ROTS Visual dictionary and it says "Even the Temple's finest swordmaster is no match for Anakin Skywalker and the stormtroopers of the 501st legion"...except it says it under the profile for Stass Allie and Shaak Ti. Stass was off world so...
