It's possible that Boba is better than Jango, but I doubt that Jango taught Boba every trick.. and I question the claim that Boba has more experience.

And Maul was more than a match for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. If Maul didn't fall for the "fear, intimidation and surprise" thing, I think he would've dealt with Grievous as handily as Obi-Wan did.
As an aside, Jedi Master status does not necessarily denote combat prowess.
Boba was responsible for hunting down at least a dozen jedi and many more Wookies (Yes, I know Jango killed 7).

Grievous was a near match for Windu in a straight up fight, Obi-Wan only beat him because his form was uniquely suited to counter the general's.
It is canon that Grievous took on multiple jedi of skill and beat them, Maul's only hope would be to do a force crush on Grievous if he has the chance, he may be fast and skilled but Grievous is faster and stronger and is designed to overwhelm a offensive opponent.

He can hover, too? When does he do that?
