Not to mention Gaara did not beat him. At all. Nothing Gaara did worked actually. He could only slow Kimimaro down. It was the sickness that killed him in the midst of him delivering his own death blow to lee and Gaara.

Even in part 2 he was fast enough to dodge a Kurama Mode Enhanced Naruto, and still didn't get sealed the entire battle. According to some strong evidence from the manga itself, edo tensei is weaker then a person at their prime. So it isn't to far to reason that even during that period he wasn't as strong as he would have been if he wasn't sick and alive.

Still think it would go to Guy if the 8 gates were allowed. Without I think Guy loses.
