However they fought again and Dooku had a huge amp. So with that yoda is still better as he defeated him so Dooku is less than sidious and yoda.
It's funny how established canon is so affected by what Lucas and crew chose to cut. For instance, I didn't even realize they had filmed a much longer Anakin vs Dooku fight, as well as a prolonged Dooku vs Yoda sequence that involved the Count using two blades:

The more you know! Wish someone could find that footage and edit it into the film..as it is, the episode II duels are horribly edited and filled with erratic jump-cut nonsense.
