We saw how effective he was against probably one of the most powerful characters in the story, Emperor Palpatine. Palp destroyed every single jedi that entered his office, other than Mace.
Because his goal was the Anakin's corruption, not killing Mace per se. He played both Mace and Anakin in that scene. Yoda was without any doubt the strongest Jedi at the time, yet Palp won in the direct combat, so Mace hardly had any real chance.
It was confirmed by star wars that palpatine lost to mace because mace was better, not because palp wanted to lose
I never seen any direct confirmation of this claim in the canon. But the text of Revenge of the Sith novelization clearly says that Windu couldn't kill Palpatine on his own and relied on Anakin to do that, but realized that Palpatine have no fear at all of this and completely trust Anakin.
