[Star Wars]Could either (light side) Anakin or Mace Windu individually have defeated Palpatine?

Mace Windu did best Palpatine in a dual. He did bring in other Jedi to arrest him but they were killed rather quickly, both in the movie and novel. If Anakin hadn't showed up when he did then RotS would have ended much differently.
