That is not the same thing. They have never actually fought each other like they did as kids. Kisame has large reserves of chakra period. Like I said, Kisame is only attracted to those with large chakra reserves. I never said he was comparable to A in that department. And it really doesn't matter. Kakashi's chakra reserves are shit compared to his. Another fact. So how you expect him to counter all of Kisame's techniques by copying them as he doesn't have the chakra to perform his more powerful techniques? Kisame's physical prowess includes: overpowering Guy in strength, going toe to toe in taijutsu against Guy, and perfectly countering all of B's sneak attacks while fighting Sabu.

Do you mean Kakashi escaped Zabuza's water prison in their first fight? Because even then Kakashi only did so thanks to Naruto and Sasuke's assistance. And even if Kakashi manages to escape it, Kisame has way more techniques to dish out.

But, anyway we are talking about Minato vs Kakashi. This is getting a bit off topic.
