He eventually rose to take the title of Master of the Order; making him the leader of the Council, and the second highest ranking member of the Order, behind Master Yoda.
Thus, in the long run, both Windu and Yoda outdid Palpatine. So, his belief that Mace Windu was more powerful than Yoda was of little account. Windu himself knew Yoda was superior, and he had no qualms admitting it.
Mace Windu was a revered Force-sensitive human male Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council during the last years of the Republic Era.
One of the best examples was Master Mace Windu, a senior member of the Jedi Council and second in command of the entire Jedi Order.

Billaba became Windu's Padawan and trained under the Jedi Master in the ways of the Force. During her training, Windu allowed her to study Form VII variant known as Vaapad. She eventually became a Jedi Knight, renowned for her skills with a lightsaber and favored Form III when teaching other Jedi.
This isn't to say that Mace Windu isn't powerful when it comes to the force. He's on par with Darth Maul and is more powerful than Qui-Gon Jinn. But, Obi-Wan is still the stronger Force user which makes him a powerful combatant.
A grim Jedi Master with an amethyst-bladed lightsaber, Mace Windu was the champion of the Jedi Order, with little tolerance for the failings of the Senate, the arguments of politicians, or the opinions of rebellious Jedi.
Biography. Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo.
If the two spared as Jedi, Dooku would probably win the match because he was the better all-around duelist. But if this issue's fight had continued with Windu as a Sith, Windu would have been able to turn the tables.
In Revenge of the Sith, set three years later, Obi-Wan is now a Jedi Master and a member of the Jedi Council, as well as a General in the Grand Army of the Republic.
Master Yoda has risen above all others to claim the top spot as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the true chosen one according to IGN's audience. He won pretty handily as well, as he was victorious in 89,756 of his 95,243 battles and had a win percentage of 94.2%.
Jedi Master Yoda is the most powerful of them all. This should come as no surprise, as he was the head of the Jedi Order in the prequels and was revered for his abilities during the original trilogy. Yoda's power is unmatched and was a real threat to Darth Vader and the Imperials.
If there was a fight between Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu, Mace WIndu would definitly win.

Qui-Gon's vision of the future
It's already well-established that Qui-Gon was incredibly strong with the Force. He continuously studied the ways of the Force and eventually learned enough about the Cosmic Force and the Living Force to unlock the secrets of eternal life.
Rey stubbornly refused to leave, and eventually Luke agreed to teach her three lessons that would convince her he had made the right decision. Under Luke's tutelage, Rey learned to feel the Force around her and understand her connection to it.
Before constructing her own lightsaber, Rey uses Luke Skywalker's first lightsaber, which is actually Luke's father Anakin's lightsaber — the most storied weapon in all of Star Wars canon. This is the Skywalker lightsaber seen throughout the original, prequel and sequel trilogies.
In 19 BBY, the lightsaber was lost when it was dropped out of the window of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's office prior to his death. In 18 BBY, Duros salvagers recovered it and gave it to Senator Sano Sauro.
