If all that "greatest duo ever" wank was applied to their showings in TCW, I just don't see it... at all.
The whole outer rim sieges thing makes a lot of sense though, when you put it that way. Thank you for pointing that out actually, it allows me to stomach and understand that accolade without being thoroughly confused.
IIRC most of their hype and rise to fame came in the late portions of the war, which is supported by starwars.com saying Anakin Skywalker grew "far more powerful" since Season 5.
They would be fighting on the frontlines of countless battle while fighting impossible odds. I feel this sums it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVk9lPotcW4&t=1h21m37s.

I've heard some speak of TCW Anakin as if he were on par with Dooku, but given every other fight he had that wasn't a 1v1 with Dooku, I don't view him as being on that level until ROTS.
Fighting alongside each other in some pretty intense stages in the war during this time of improvement would no doubt help their teamwork.
Kenobi is actually one of my three favorite Jedi, and despite Anakin's whininess prior to the Clone Wars unfolding, I'm actually in the minority who enjoyed Hayden's performance of him in ROTS. I have no reason to have personal feelings against this accolade applying to them, I just really didn't see it as of TCW.
Now it makes perfect sense to me that outer rim seiges and beyond that point would be a different story.
Indeed, but she's never been a Jedi to hold back her power.
She wouldn't kill, but she brought Marek to his knees and instead of killing him, lectured him.
Difference with Kenobi is that he's not going to enter a rage at the thought of failing Vader, and would likely fall unconscious to Ti's follow up attack.

The scenes between Anakin and Palpatine in ROTS were amongst the best character moments in the trilogy, possibly the whole saga IMO.

Yep, this is pretty drastically imbalanced.
We have:
Tier 9:
Anakin.
Tier 8:
Shaak Ti
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Tier 7:
Plo Koon.
