Tulak Hord should honestly clear all of it if not for Revan and possibly Arcann.
Khem Val's quotes should be taken at face value despite people saying "oh but he was totally in love with Tulak and glorified him above all else". Well, yes, he was incredibly loyal and you could say he was a total fanatic for Tulak, but one must remember it was because Khem Val had respect for warriors, for their power and their accomplishments. It's not like Khem was fanatical about Tulak Hord because of personality, their bonds, or anything like that - it was because Tulak Hord was a battlefield god for him. Then, if you have a person that values battlefield and power above all else, and it's the most important thing for Khem, those stories had to be legitimately true for Khem to really get that fanatical about Hord. If they weren't true, Khem Val would exaggerate out of respect for Hord, sure, but if that respect comes from the actual battlefield itself, it's just... absurd to imply the logic that "Khem Val values battlefield feats the most, therefore since he respects Tulak Hord immensely because of them, he decided to cheat himself and exaggerate them". That's what it would be, essentially.
With all that Khem Val saying about Tulak, like pulling Endar Spire-sized ship from the sky, with him slaughtering Jedi armies, I honestly just don't see how guys like Yoda can defeat him. Tulak is just better, the feats he demonstrated are above Yoda's own. It would be a great battle without a doubt, but Tulak's feats are honestly superior to everything in SW sans those of DE Palpatine, Valkorion and Revan.
Arcann is pretty much a wildcard, he shown capability to defend against a depowered Valkorion's attack, but on the other hand, is combatively beneath Revan, who, while superior to Hord, wouldn't be that much superior. It makes me question which gap is higher - Revan/Arcann or Revan/Hord. Either way, Hord would stop at Revan, who seems superior to Tulak in the Force just by novel fight against Valkorion, or ragdolling the strike team in SOR on Yavin IV.

My esteem of Dooku isn't very high these days. He gets beaten down by the original master of the force walking ritual who consumed a thousand + jedi warriors.
