Dude, Maul wins, When not at full strength he was basically on par with TPM Kenobi and Qui-Gon, 2 on 1. That team is stronger than this team is, and this is full strength Maul. He could use Jango's blaster bolts to his advantage, deflecting them back towards Anakin. Jango couldn't use his rocket or his flamethrower, because he'd have to great a chance of hurting Anakin. Maul could dodge any Kamino Saber darts. Anakin's pretty good but he really wouldn't fare to great against Maul, he's weaker than Qui-Gon is and Qui-Gon barely lasted 30 seconds against Maul during the last phase of their duel, before Jinn died. So Maul takes this, not easy, but he definitely wins.
no way DS, Jango, fully armed here, is a match for an avg jedi knight, AOTC Anakin was as good as AOTC Kenobi with the blade, and quite powerful, Maul could beat either one alone, after a fight, but in this Anakin could attack, and require all Maul's attention, Jango could fly up shoot him in the head. Anakin and Jango win no question.

Jango's blaster fire made Mace 'swing wildly' (or something to that effect)on Geonosis. Now this was right after he had been trampled by a friggin Reek and only had one blaster. Also ROTS Mace>>TPM Maul. So a full strength Jango with all his weaponry, could at the very least pose as an effective distraction for Maul. Then it is just a matter of AOTC Anakin (who gave Dooku in AOTC a reasonably hard time - again AOTC Dooku>Maul) to come in and finish the job.
Wrong. Jango was equal with Kenobi only when Boba was heping Jango AND because Kenobi wasn't trying to hrut Jango. In a one on one, all out fight, Kenobi would have won. Jinn and TPM Kenobi > AOTC Anakin and Kenobi, as well, and Maul was equal with them when not at full strength. Kenobi could leap away from any shots Jango shoots at him. He could easily leap away from Anakin's blade at the same time.

Look at how good Maul is at dodging blaster bolts. Jango wouldn't hurt Maul.
Mace may have swung wildly, but he still beat Jango in less than 10 seconds. Now big deal. Mace was leagues above Jango. Mace >>> Maul? Doubtful that he >>> Maul, 3 times, one, *maybe* two, he is about one league above Maul and four above Jango. Maul could disarm jango right away, with no blasters Jango could do very little without accidentally hurting Anakin.
No, Anakin wouldn't put up that great a fight against Maul.
i said an avg jedi knight, and Jango has killed Jedi in fights. AOTC Anakin is equal to AOTC Kenobi, and he does fight Dooku better, and in the novel puts Dooku on the defense.
easy to do when nobody is attacking you w/ a lightsaber
yes he would he would fly up in the air, and he is a crack shot, it would take one shot to his head.
Wrong, Kenobi as a padawan put up a good fight with Maul, which took everything Maul had to get him in that hole, and that was after kicking him and cutting his saber in half, and Anakin is a level above that Kenobi.

Jango wouldn't land a single hit on Maul.
Maul will be put on the defensive, but, he starts to win when one of the following three things happens:
Jango runs out of ammo.
Jango gets fatigued.
Jango runs out of fuel for his jetpack.
Once one of those happens, Maul kicks Anakin aside for the few precious seconds he needs to kill Jango in whatever condition he may be in (one of the above).
Or Maul could distance himself from the two, strangle Jango, and then beat Anakin in a saber match.

I doubt that. And please DS, your trying to compare a single no-name mercenary (Who's aim obviously sucked, I mean most of his shots hit the damn ground) to Jango Fett, THEE best Bounty Hunter in the GALAXY at the time.
Dude, these are blaster pistols we're talking about. Batteries last a hell of a lot longer then bullets, and I wouldn't put it above Jango to carry extra clips. Jango spends most of the time in the air, and a man with his experience can probably reload pistols very fast.
It's not like Jango's going to be exherting himself too much by pulling a trigger.
Jango's Jetpack is rechargeable. It doesn't really run out of fuel. At least in Bounty Hunter the Jetpack recharged itself in a matter of seconds.
You're acting like Maul will just run right through Anakin like nothing. If a pissed off padawan Obi-Wan can slice Maul's saber in two and put him flat on his ass, Anakin focused can at LEAST hold Maul off enough for Jango to recover.
Maul will never get the chance. Regardless of skill, Anakin is a ferocious fighter. He'll be all over Maul as soon as the match starts. Maul will be to busy fending off Anakin's heavy blows and frenzied strikes and trying to dodge/deflect blaster bolts from the greatest Bounty Hunter in the Galaxy at the time to get enough distance and gain the cocnentration to choke out Jango.

Anoon Bondara was "one of the best fighters in the order. His skill with a lightsaber was second to none."
Darsha Assant "even as an infant she had shown strong Force tendencies," and the day she went to become a Jedi Knight, she "hoped that one day she might be able to exhibit a tenth of Anoon Bondara's adeptness."
When Maul fought Anoon, Maul knew "within the first few moments of the engagement, Darth Maul knew that he himself was the superior fighter."
For Darsha, "It was hard for her to conceive of a situation in which her mentor could be bested in combat, but if anyone was capable of it, she had the feeling the Sith was that one."
Maul made quick work of Anoon, driving him back and then, Anoon, realizing after seconds of confrontation, that he didn't have nearly enough skills to take on Maul, stabbed a speeder bike's engine in attempt to kill both of them. However, in the "microsecond" that Maul had to jump off the platform that the two had been battling on to dodge the explosion, Maul was out of harms way.
I f Maul is put on the defensive, he has the speed to dodge pretty much everything that's thrown at him, or he can spin his twin blades "so fast they seemed to merge into a crimson shield."
Also, read through this: http://www.swtimeline.ru/?comics=11&page=001
If the fact that it's 90 pages of flipping through turns you off, remember that it's a comic, and, it's about Maul, so naturally, the dialogue is minimal, and, it really doesn't take long.

Wrong, AOTC Anakin is equal to Kenobi with a blade when he doesn't make a mistake. if he does, Kenobi is better, and Kenobi is better overall. Did he fight Dooku better? I seem to remember Anakin getting taken out instantly, and Kenobi having to save his sorry ass.

No reason why he couldn't simply leap away from Anakin's blades at the same time as he dodges the blaster bolts. or, y'know, just disarm Jango in the first second of the fight.
or more like, the fight starts, Maul uses the Force to take maul's guns away from him, engages Anakin in a saber duel, Jango shoots his missle at Maul, maul dodges it, it hurts Anakin, Maul runs back and slaughteres an injured Anakin, then Force Chokes Maul to death.
Kenobi only put up a good fight when he was using the Dark Side, when using the Dark Side he is ahead of AOTC Anakin and he still got taken down in 40 some seconds. Plus Maul wasn't at full strength when he fought Kenobi. Jango wouldn't even help Anakin that much, he'd probably end up hurting Anakin after Maul uses the Force to take his blasters away.
A no-name mercenary? More like, a highly trained droid who can shoot lasers way faster than Jango can. Again, nothing's stopping Maul from taking Jango's blasters away from him right at the beginning of the fight.
Not as fast as that droid did, but it won't matter, as Maul can disarm Jango in a second.
But, like you said, that was a pissed off Kenobi, plus rememeber that Maul wasn't at full strength during that fight. Anakin rushes Maul, Maul Force Pushes him away. Takes Anakin down for 5 seconds. By this time Jango's in the air and is shooting at maul. maul pulls out his saber and deflects the lasers back at Maul. They hit him and hurt him, but don't stop him. Then Maul uses the Force to take Jango's blasters away. Just then, Anakin is abck to Maul and they engage in a saber duel. Jango couldn't do anything else without accidentally hurting Anakin. Maul kills Anakin after a little while, then Force Chokes Jango to death.

DS, you're an idiot. As I seem to recall, OB1 was about to be killed when Anakin jumped 20 feet and saved his sorry ass. Maybe you should go refresh your memory.
1. Prove Maul wasn't at full stregnth during that duel, or better yet, prove that OB1 and QGJ were. This thread is TPM MAUL - which is when he fought the Jedi, and you say he wasn't at full strength then but he is here...what? How does that make sense? Oh right, it doesn't.
You think Anakin doesn't know how to deflect blaster bolts too? C'mon man, get real.
And how do you figure that because Anakin is below QGJ that he wouldn't do well? OB1 was below QGJ, and he killed your boy. Nice logic...oh yea thats because A>B>C's don't mean shit.
Jango is far better than that guy you showed and yes, Mace>>>Maul. get over it. Twin blasters, the best aim around and a plethora of other weapons...add that with a Jedi like Anakin, and yea, your boy goes down, hard.
