Kisame is also not weak though. If he knew about Gai's techniques then most likely Gai would not have won. Even though Gai opens the Eighth Gate?

If Guy was to open the 8th Gate, then I do not think Kisame's chances of winning are very high. Guy becomes a savage beast when he enters the 8th gate (as witnessed in his fight with Madara, who he nearly killed, it was a close call for Madara), because no one has ever really seen the 8th gate opened and seen what a person can do when in that form, for as long as it lasts, Kisame would be overwhelmed if Guy was to fight him like that in that particular state.
