@David,

Kakashi was overpowered for the specific purpose of showing Naruto winning many times.

Against Zabuza, he got trapped and would have died without Naruto and Sasuke. Then every time after that as soon as he gets serious he beats Zabuza immediately.

Against Kakuzu. Not saying he should have won, per se, but he should still be above Naruto at this point. Naruto had a stronger ultimate jutsu, but as a ninja, Naruto didn't surpass Kakashi until he reached Sage Mode. So Naruto managing to outmaneauver Kakuzu when Kakashi couldn't is off.

Anyways as @Flatzone said, there's no real scale between them. They never fought each other, never fought the same people, and never fought similar people
