This is Vodo in his prime, he gets his staff and full rest after each battle and his wounds, if any, get healed as well. Who stops him?
1. AOTC Kenobi
2. ROTS Aayla Secura
3. ROTS Kit Fisto
4. Obsession Asajj Ventress
5. Darth Maul
6. ROTS Obi-Wan
7. ROTS Count Dooku
8. ROTS Darth Vader
9. ROTS Sidious and two magnaguards
10. He makes it
Vodo breezes through 1 and 2, 3, 4 and 5 are a little difficult but he definately beats all of them. ROTS Kenobi has a chance at beating Vodo but I'm thinking that Vodo could probably take him, then Dooku could probably beat Vodo, I'd say there's a 60% chance Dooku kills Vodo. If Vodo makes it past Dooku then he loses at vader unless Vader makes an incredibly huge mistake, and there's no way in hell he'd take Sidious and the guards, Sidious alone would do him in for sure. So I say he probably stops at 8 but could possibly make it to 9.
Maul is "one of the most dangerous Sith apprentices in history", his resilence is amazing - even by megaForce user standards - and he is a nearly unparalleled fighter. I'd say Vodo would have an extremely hard fight, to be honest.
Ventress'd be a pain in the ass, too, and she also has a chance of killing him. Obi-Wan? Same. But he does not make it past Dooku. He gets owned.
I say he makes it to 9. His thoughts in JA (he states that he couldn't bring himself to harm Kun), as well as on panel evidence (Vodo handles most of Kun's saber strikes perfectly until he switches it up and use his saber staff, and you can constantly see signs of frustration on Kun's face) seem to indicate that he was almost a match for Exar Kun in saber combat, and given how incredible Kun was, as well as the fact that his style was very much alien to Vodo, I'd say that's pretty awesome. The duel was also described as 'furious' and 'epic', implying it was somewhat close. However Sidious would likely own his ass with the force, so I don't see him making it past here.
From From Wookieepedia:
"Vodo and Kun fought each other, but when Kun revealed his double-bladed lightsaber, Vodo could not hold him off, and was slain by his former pupil. "
So can he pass through Maul?
He definitely passes through Maul, imho. Maul doesn't really compare with the top tier of lightsaber duelists, whereas Vodo can hold his own against one of them (Exar Kun).

Asajj has a double lightsaber and was giving a beat down to (and could have killed) Anakin as a Jedi Knight. No way Vodo lives past her. Also, Kit is far from an average Jedi and has impressed me a lot more than Vodo has, so, Vodo could go down there.
So, just what has Vodo done to prove himself a worthy combatant, or that he could even beat AOTC Obi Wan?
He pwns Crado, beats Sylvar and then, despite getting hit by Sylvar, is able to defeat Vodo (barely). That puts Kun above Maul, and Vodo nearly beat Kun. He'd definitely beat Maul.

Actually...
How is Exar even above Maul? We haven't seen Kun fight anyone even remotely impressive except for Vodo, the old past his prime crab who was using a stick and was more then likely fighting half-heartedly.

Darth Maul "mastered the lightsaber," and seeing as how Vodo was beat with one swing of Kun's double bladed saber, I doubt he would hold off against Maul. The same thing could be applied to Asajj.
