Savage's short performance against Maul is what makes me doubt him. If he doesn't noob out like that against Malgus and brings out his power properly, then it won't be an easy fight for Malgus.
That makes sinus the lucky third poster to pull "b-but you said this months ago how could u chang3 your mind? :0" in recent times.
The argument is that because Savage lost so badly to Maul, this somehow demonstrates inferiority to Malgus by principle - that principle would need to be that for whatever reason Malgus is closer to Maul than Savage. They aren't even in the same time period and have never been mentioned together, hence why I'm calling it an assumption.

And given that it's not a logical approach to use outdated opinions against someone, I'll go ahead and ignore you when you do. It's essentially just an admission of not having a good argument.
Dooku "humiliated" him the first time we ever saw Savage hold a lightsaber, lmao. Savage smashed Dooku into a wall shortly after, and following on from there Savage began growing powerful enough for Dooku to declare him a "threat to us all" whose power could be felt growing across the galaxy with every passing day. Throw a couple of TCW seasons and tie-in comics under Savage's belt and he's looking much stronger than he did in season 3.
Also, nice decapitation of logic there, Sinny. You need to prove Malgus has any relevance compared to Maul or Dooku before you use their accomplishments to gauge him. I know it'd make life much easier, but it's a really shit argument.

I mentioned it for the first time out of surprise, after that I wasn't even serious so chillax.
That is a fair point. Maybe I underestimated his growth in power throughout TCW tbh. Nevertheless, I just said it would be a good fight if he performs properly, which is technically not wrong.
Also, Malgus' lightning feats against Leneer and the other Jedi are pretty impressive, and as Carthage pointed out, he is more skilled. We know that Savage isn't gonna do great against powerful lightning and a foe strong enough to keep up with his strength in a lightsaber duel that he would eventually lose.

Malgus should take this without too much trouble.

Savage has way more than enough physical strength to withstand it's impact, and is more powerful than Leneer in the force (it won't shatter his barrier). It's an ace in Malgus's hole given how he implements it in combat, not because it can overwhelm Savage in a similar fashion to Leneer

But considering how Savage is ultimately inferior in the force and is less skilled, he also won't get any wins. Lightning by itself might not get the job done, but it guarantees the victory.
A Jedi Master, possessing sufficient raw power to collapse a building or two, failed to dominate (a badly wounded) Darth Malgus with his powers. Satele Shan pulled it off after absorbing the energy of a Lightsaber.
Opress wouldn't be bashing Darth Malgus around, not even close.
Somewhat of a technical edge? You've got to be kidding me.
Darth Malgus is noticeably superior to Opress in raw power, melee skills and command of the Force; collective superiority in these 3 areas is a game-changer and implies that Darth Malgus would utterly dominate. Opress stacks up to the former in the area of physical strength [only] but this won't make any difference when he is inferior in other (more important) areas.
Choking Count Dooku was a useless effort from Opress; it wasn't enough to force Count Dooku into submission. Asajj Ventress also managed to choke both Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi during a confrontation but it too was a useless effort.
Physically beating Ventress around is no big deal. Opress had advantage in physical strength and Ventress wasn't a class apart from him in raw power to make much difference.
Blasting a small Starship off the cliff is a decent showing but not enough to elevate Savage Opress to the TIER of Darth Malgus. Aryn Leener sent [six] cars of a Tram packing across a hall like missiles (simultaneously) during a confrontation but Darth Malgus was strong enough to dominate her with his telekinetic powers in turn.
Opress have his share of victories but they are not as straightforward as you make them out to be.
1. A time came when Kenobi grew in power and skill to such an extent that he managed to hold his own against the duo of Darth Maul and Opress in a confrontation. Kenobi might have killed Opress during this confrontation but Darth Maul prevented such a breakthrough.
2. I don't recall Opress's confrontation with Plo Koon. Is this even true?
3. Covered above
4. Adi Gallia is not a heavyweight
Darth Malgus would defeat the likes of Savage Opress easily.

Round 2 harder fought, but Malgus still takes it solidly with his superior finesse and technique while still retaining comparable brute force to counteract Savage's.
