Great question. I assume this includes his Kekkei Genkai as well? I'll eliminate the characters who stand no chance within this list:
Gai
Hiashi
Lee
Neji
Tsunade
Madara
Itachi
Asuma
Sakura
Hinata
Raikage A
Now among the ones that are left, I'd rank Kimimaro as the following:
1. Gai/Yondaime Raikage
2. Yondaime Raikage/Gai
3. Madara
4. Itachi/Kimimaro
5. Kimimaro/Itachi
I don't overrate/underrate Kimimaro's Taijutsu-based potential, but we haven't see enough of him to actually categorize him higher than Top 4/5.
This is very wrong because itachi nor madara have a no way of hurting kimimaru but i know you said don't place them by who beats who. Also, lee said kimimaru was a master at taijutsu and this is why kimimaru was on his death bed so imagine what a healthy master would look like if he was considered a master while being terminally ill.
