This would be an interesting fight. I'm going to review their feats. For the record, the stats are not recognized by me for those who do take them into account.

1. Ninjutsu - They both are about tied in the amount of jutsus, and have all the range type for jutsus. Kakashi and Sasuke will be going back and forth with their lightning release techniques. Sasuke and Kakashi both have an S-rank lightning technique however one is close range (Lightning Cutter — Kakashi) and the other is long range and pack more overall power but take preparation. Sasuke is very proficient with Fire Release. He's even got the Amaterasu which is apparently a lot of hotter. Kakashi has shown "anime wise" that he could use the Great Fireball Technique. So for this I'm leaning towards Sasuke on superiority in Fire Release. However, Kakashi could counter or even overpower Sasuke's fire techniques minus Amaterasu. As for Amaterasu, maybe just maybe and its a low chance but maybe Kakashi could see it coming and warp it Amaterasu away with Kamui. Sasuke also has more defensive power to block Kakashi's attacks with Susanoo and he can create flames around them. I highly doubt Kakashi could break Susanoo with anything in his arsenal, possibly damage but not by much. So for Ninjutsu prowess, I'm going with Sasuke.

2. Taijutsu, Strength & Speed- Both have shown to definitely have above average taijutsu and both have shown not to slack in the speed department. Sasuke has shown great speed, with a continuative rate when he copied Lee's speedand used it against Gaara, getting dowm to Naruto swiftly whem Team Kakashi reuinted in Part II for the first time, and dashing at Deidara. Kakashi's highest feat - speed movement wise - was stopping Neji from hitting Hinata at point blank range, saving Sakura from Sasuke's Chidori from point blank range, or crossing the field to save Shikamaru and his team-mates from Kakuzu's lightning attack. Kakashi had to copy Lee's speed to show Sasuke cuz Sasuke wasn't there to see the fight so this obviously proved Lee was faster than Kakashi as far as Part I maybe beyond as Kakashi would have no need to copy him if he's faster and could've had Sasuke copy his speed instead. But that's another story. For speed I'd say they're tied. Taijutsu, I'd say theyre are pretty much tied. Kakashi has shown to counter a Three-Bladed Scythe with a kunai so countering it with Sasuke's sword shouldn't be a bother. Kakashi could open the 1 of the Eight Gates though he never put it to use. Assuming he would it would help here. While the strength can come in hand here neither really has shown to be above the other in the area. Overall pretty much equal.

3. Genjutsu- Kakashi's greatest feat with Genjutsu was using a D-rank genjutsu on an oblivious Sakura. He has shown basically nothing but basic genjutsu. Sharingan ot not while Sasuke has continually showed great use in the area. I'm going with Sasuke on genjutsu but not easily.

4. Intelligence- Both are analytical and strategic. They use their move precisely. Both have the mind of a leader. Can't say who's smarter but they sure are in the same league of intelligence.

5. Stamina- Obviously Kakashi has low stamina. He'll be smart at conserving it but Sasuke has more stamina overall as proven. Kakashi used the Lightning Cutter once, Earth Wall, and Kamui to suck away the arrow (it was big so it took a lot more chakra) but still with Sasuke's big moves Kakashi woukd be more on the defensive or run.

Overall I'm sure Sasuke will win with mid to high difficulty.
