But no, Maul had to rub it in...
Well, I give Maul some tribute in one of my fan fics. He's got a group of Dark Jedi on the run. He's told Sidious where they are and has been tracking them so that the Republic knows where they are because Sidious is really Palpy, and he's killed two of the Dark Jedi already. He's currently blowing holes in their ship with his starfighter.
Also, I showed a bit of Maul's overconfidence in his success. The main character damages Maul's saber with a DEMP 2 gun, the ion cannon-like gun from Jedi Outcast. Maul didn't consider him a threat, so he engaged the top three fighters of the group first.

that's true but the dual blade isn't that much of an advantage when both fighters are good.
Obi did split his weapon afterall.
yes this might be true that he did cut down his his weapon and equaled out the fight but only by toughing the darkside of the force
no jedi could have killed a sith with out using the darkside after he did he was scared of the power he felt and he know that the darkside and the ways of the sith was the true power
he was to afraid to do so again and he lost against darth tranus doo to this the jedi are weak and pathetic
I would say Maul because we know that even when Anakin is much better by the time of Episode III he still doesn't beat Obi-Wan. Granted Obi-Wan is a full master by then, but as has been stated already, Maul had the experience and training. I have to say though concerning the fight between Maul and Obi-Wan, I believe it was pride on both parts that led to their mistakes. For example, Maul was gloating at having got Qui-Gon, and when Obi-Wan came out of the corridor he was giving Maul something to worry about. When Ben finally has him against the wall, it is Ben who for a moment loses his concentration by being so consumed with getting revenge, that he becomes foolish, his sensitivity to the force being momentarily blinded I think. And the same thing when Maul is standing next to the pit, he has that look of confusion when Obi-Wan is using the force, so Maul was off guard too. So I think their gloating, pride,etc was what made them vulnerable. Just a thought....
In all honesty, Maul would likely win the duel, but not kill him. I believe Maul would sense his powers and attempt to take him on as an apprentice. But then again, Anakin's double lightsabre might overwhelm the staff, if Obi-Wan could chop it in half, I am positive Anakin could with two lightsabres.
