Obito was actually in my opinion quite talented, not a loser. From my point of view, there were 3 reasons why he was weak at first:
 * Obito was a late bloomer, but with very high potential, I would even call him a genius
 * His personality, goofy and easily distracted, he also had too soft and gentle heart, coming late to meetings because he was helping old people... the reason why he lost to Might Guy wasn't lack of abilities, power of skill... but because he just wasn't paying much attention, underestimated Might Guy and got taken out by surprise...
 * he was clumsy
