Not really, lol. Dooku is only above Savage by enough of a degree for Sidious to stop holding back. The outcome would be the same.
Dooku was able to hold off Yoda. Even Sidious not holding back is not going to have an easy time of it.
Dooku was able to fight Savage and Ventress at the same time, and Ventress is pretty close to Opress. So yea, he's a *lot* better than Opress.
Yea, Talon holding off Venamis definitely isn't out of the question.

Your logic is pure carcinogen.
Not a counter-argument, I note.
In general, I've long held people here underestimate the power of a good double-team. With Dooku around, it's hard to focus enough to take down (even Savage kept him in the fight quite well, after all!), and with Maul around, it's hard to focus enough to take down Dooku. Two moderately strong sith can perform well where either on their own are doomed.
Just a rule of thumb, not an absolute, granted. Sidious is quite high-end for a sith lord, and there are duos he can definitely beat.
Still, Tenebrous is a sith master of good power who wouldn't be a pushover to start with.

You speak of numbers when other people around Krayt-level (i.e. Revan) is contending with eight man strike teams. 😬
But don't 8-person teams always win? ^^ Like, I don't think there's a single occasion where the canon result has been something other than 'target defeat, team survives intact'.
Most of the team members being a good deal less powerful too.
