Maul isn't cowardly like these chumps. Palpatine tried to flee from Yoda like a weeny. Dooku also fled because he was a weeny.
Maul is quicker than Dooku. Maul would end the pansy. When did Palpatine ever consider Dooku a rival ?
No not necessarily. If you are beaten skill wise you just lose. You don't have to be disarmed or hurt. He fled be issue he knew he couldn't win or he had already lost and he couldn't compete with yoda. Dooku lost.
How is it speculation when everything in that paragraph can be proven. We all saw the fight with Sidious and he won. The author of the novel states that mauls power isn't on dookus level, go to dookus respect thread and you will find it. His prime is considered Son of Dathomir which occurred before the events in ROTS. In that novel Dooku is better as stated by the author. Prove those aren't facts.
Yet maul got beat by Sidious even with the aid of his brother and Dooku is also better as stated by the author and he's more refined and has greater experience and better feats. Well in Sidious situation it's understandable since he had everything to lose so why take that chance, and same with Dooku.
I can't agree to maul being quicker than Dooku as Dooku has greater command of the force. Also Dooku has held off opponents much greater than maul and has beaten opponents much greater than maul. I never said Sidious considered him a rival. However Sidious did respect Dooku as a talented fighter, more refined then himself and a powerful force weilder.
