Arguably there is no feat in canon higher than beating Dooku with sabers except maybe beating the man who beat Dooku. Luke and Kenobi defeated Vader so they are locked in as top tiers.I guess Sheev did make a short work of (mostly lip-serviced) Fisto in pure sabers?
The Anakin that lost to Obi-Wan and the Anakin that beat Dooku may as well be two different people.

To an extent. But Obi would always put up a better fight against Anakin than Dooku having 1)instructed him and 2)having mastered the form best suited to tackle him
Though I agree Obi-Wan would lose to Anakin at the beginning of ROTS. But I also doubt Dooku would beat Anakin on Mustafa.
Originally posted by PsychotronI don't think Anakin was in his right mind in his fight with Kenobi but it's speculation.
I think Dooku could win that duel if Anakin was in the same emotional state as he was when fighting Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan stalemated him in a Force contest, so Dooku should be able to beat him with the Force.

That force push stalemate was always weird.
That said in all of their fights in TCW, Dooku did push Anakin around quite a bit with the Force, but never anything decisive enough to give him the win. And I doubt Mustafa Anakin was < TCW S4 Anakin. Certainly not < TCW Movie Anakin.
So just seems either due to physicality or good natural force defences, that Anakin can take Dookus Force attacks better than Obi-Wan.
Dont get me wrong, would likely be a good fight, but I think in the end stamina would be Dookus downfall.
