No one knows for sure. Some people say he was stronger because of the darkness left in his heart after realizing that his beloved Republic was under the control of the Sith. Others say he became so powerful because Palpatine was so powerful. Another theory is that because of the circumstances, he simply volunteered to slip further into Vaapad than ever before. Perhaps all of the above are true. Maybe none of them are, and Mace is just that good.

I'd say Windu destroys them, at least up close. Look at how Dooku handles both Obi Wan and a restrained (but still > Obi Wan) Anakin by kicking the latter away and ragdolling the former at the same time.
Dooku only really managed to man-handle that duo due to stylistic advantages, though.
I guess one could argue Mace is in the same boat...?

Where does it say that? They purposely surprised him with their forms, and Anakin's djem so is particularly strong against him. Besides, his ragdolling was a combination of telekinesis and some decent footwork, nothing Windu couldn't replicate.
Isn't juyo really effective against multiple opponents?

Yeah, I'm sure Windu could ragdoll Zannah and kick Bane, especially given how much of a physical freak he is, punching through super battle droids + shatterpoint.

Never stated, nah. And I'm more referring to the fights Dooku actually walked away from. In most of them you'll see that whenever Anakin attacks, Dooku can counter and use Anakin's own strength against him, pushing him away long enough to deal with Kenobi. He also does the exact opposite, forcing Kenobi away to properly duel with Anakin. Anakin's easy to misdirect, and Kenobi lacks enough of an offence to actually take advantage of Dooku's tactic.
Hence most of their 2v1's are more just Dooku trying to seperate them and take them one on one, since almost every time he faces them both at once he is drastically losing ground.
Their fight in Season 6 is probably the best example of all of this.
But yeh, like I said, Mace probably has the same advantage here, except he faces inferior opponents who he can actually kill as soon as he seperates them.

I don't see why Zannah couldn't do this against Bane and Zannah, but anyway.
