Sure Guy was said to surpass Kakashi, but remember that this was said when Guy opened his eighth gate. So one could argue that even though Kakashi's epic power was limited, one could also argue that Guy only surpassed Kakashi by opening the eighth gate.

Personally I think Guy and Kakashi have been equal for awhile. I think in a serious fight but not to the death, Kakashi would win (Fourth World War Levels). He has more versatility and is overall the more skilled character. But in a fight to the death, I think Guy would win because of his eighth gate. Kakashi has no counter to it. Unless he just warped to Kamui's dimension and waited Guy out, but I doubt he'd do that.
