Ayy LMAO, MagnaGuards have also challenged Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi among others. If you're going to mention their low showings, might as well include their high showings, no?Besides, you can look at Ahsoka beating 3*(not even close to wrecking four, lmao), Nahdar murking two and Shaak fighting off dozens as good showings for them, rather than bad showings for the MagnaGuards.
And I'm pretty sure GG would've killed Nahdar Vebb if they kept fighting, tbh. That much is obvious.
If by challenged you mean they don't get instantly blitzed, then I guess. Magnaguards have a huge swing in their abilities depending on the model. So it's entirely plausible to focus on their low showings and suggest it was these shittier versions when a random Knight starts one-shotting them.
But like you said, Anakin and Obi-Wan have fought them without just instantly crushing them so obviously theres a significant variance in their ability between Vebb clowning them and fighting Skywalker. Also this was season 1 Clone Wars, lets not pretend the villains were portrayed as threatening at this point. Random dude blitzing MG's is par for the course.
I don't recall GG displaying any sort of advantage in the fight with Vebb before he cheats. And considering this was a weakened Grievous, I don't think you can call upon the rest of his history as evidence of his ability to win.

So your knowledge on Fisto comes from one or two incomplete Respect Threads? Good to know. 👆I don't think Whirlwind is online anymore on Vine, though, tbh.
You're welcome to supply the quotes yourself. If not though, I suggest you drop the issue.

Kenobi got nearly killed by Asajj after a brief exchange, as well. And she had been studying Fisto prior to the fight, and fought him while he was tired IIRC.And nah, Satele hasn't done anything to suggest she'd wreck AotC Kenobi.
Hardly significant advantages. I'm pretty Fisto being tired is fanon as well. Either way, Kenobi obviously isn't that far beneath Fisto. It must have been pretty early in the CW if he almost got shat on by Ventress too.
I disagree.

Based on what would they be superior to Jedi-killing masters of all seven forms, that can adapt to nearly anything, and have bested Jedi in a time where the Jedi were at their peak?And it's stated that those were the best MagnaGuards, handpicked to accompany Grievous in kidnapping the Chancellor.
The Force. And please, fodder Jedi in the PT era can't be compared to hardened Sith Warriors in the TOR era. Those Sith were in a decades long war against other lightsaber wielders, not shitty droids.
When did Fisto fight those ones?
