Legend. Nobody among the PT crowd appreciates Malgus more then me. But if Mara is able to deal with Caedus even taking into account her prep she should be capable of dealing with Malgus.

Darth Malgus can take lot of punishment and utterly dominate Mara Jade. He has dominated foes with superior showings then her.
As I'm sure you're aware Caedus is also a physical tank who has often drawn power from his injuries. Location of her choosing or not she still kept up with him and if Caedus didn't dominate her Malgus sure as heck won't be doing so.
I'd like to hear about these other opponents Malgus has dominated with better feats. And please provide examples aside from the choking mechanic in the False Emperor fight as I can already tell that that will be a point of contention.

Do also keep in mind that Ven Zallow and Kao Cen Darach were extraordinarily skilled with a Lightsaber.
Caedus is a superior to prime Vader. Vader was capable of simultaneously dueling 4 Jedi at once and facing dozens of Jedi and surviving long enough against them for reinforcements to arrive. Both of these feats occur before his prime. While Hope Satele blitzing Sith warriors is impressive I don't think it trumps Mara's ability to duel as a near equal with Caedus ( even taking into account the circumstances involved ) given the prior scaling I just provided. As for Aryn her best feats are being scaled off of Malgus and you can probably see why it's pointless to attempt to scale Malgus off a character who's best feat is their performance against him.
Is everyone forgetting that Mara was a former fully trained Emperor's Hand aka Assassin? She would be more than a match for Malgus in close quarter combat not to mention personally trained by Luke in lightsaber combat and became one of the most powerful NJO Jedi Masters.
*Malgus never had to fight against a species that was hell bent on killing all Force users and nearly succeeded.
