So that's your real explanation as to why the fight sucked. If you want to add a bunch of "in-universe" bullshit like Obi-Wan was too old (even though Dooku was much much older) then that's your opinion.

Just to clarify, not my opinion, its what Lucas says in ANH commentary of the fight. So its "his" bullshit in-universe explanation.

Me, I personally would like to think of Old Ben being more powerful than his ROTS counterpart.

Honestly, I never saw why people found the fights to be less impressive in ESB and RotJ. Specifically since the Mace Windu and Sidious duel is far slower and less flashy. The only duels that were noticably faster than ESB, at least for me, was the Maul duel and Anakin vs Kenobi. All the other duels are simply more flashy in other worlds they twirl their sabers around.

Oh yeah ESB is defo one of my fav lightsaber fights of the Saga. Still! But maybe the psychological game Vader was playing with young Luke added to that.
