That doesn't mean Anakin would have a respectable percentage of winning odds, Mace would still win. Maybe the random terrain is the Supreme Chancellor's Office, where Mace defeated Sidious without killing him and the fight begins right after Anakin comes in.
Yep, 0.0001 %...

You underestimate Anakin a lot. He did defeat Count Dooku:
Goading the fiery-tempered young man throughout the duel, Dooku thought he had the upper hand until Anakin outmaneuvered him. (starwars.com)
And Anakin in that fight against Dooku was just lightsaber combat. He did defeat Cin in the Jedi Temple last I checked and Cin was a great lightsaber duelist (not as great as Dooku, Mace, or Yoda).
Dooku goaded him as your quote says. Dooku wasn't trying his best, Anakin did surprise him but he would not have done so if Dooku would have tried his very best... And him defeating Cin? Well we don't know how he did it and the situation in which it was done makes me doubt if he could do so again in a normal situation. Possibly but its not like it matters becuase all of that still doesn't place him on the same level as Mace.
Actually Fishy I think that Anakin defeated Cin while choking a padawan (with his hand, not the force), and fighting against another padawan or two. So it was Anakin vs Cin and either 2 or 3 padawans and Anakin is fighting one handed while having mobility restricted (holding someone would make it harder for you to move).
So that is quite impressive

No we don't know if he fought like that the entire time, but it does take time to physically choke people so he likely fought like that for some time. Also, I do remember hearing somewhere that he fought against Cin and the other padawans one handed just to mock him.
And while I am pretty sure this is fanboyish BS that I heard here I also heard that he did it using his off hand
Damn didn't even read the without the force part (i'm kinda tired so i'm missing a few things here and there)
But that really does make it quite impressive, I wouldn't put to much faith in the rest though... Okay it makes him more impressive then I first believed, still the circumstances are strange and I still wouldn't rank him on the same level of Mace, so i'm still saying Mace wins.
