KAKASHI'S SPEED, TAIJUTSU, PHYSICAL PROWESS [NO SHARINGAN]
First of all: Part 1 Kakashi has stated multiple times that he was out of shape, meaning he may have been rusty (

Kakashi has been portrayed as a speedster since his childhood (

With a mere kunai in his hand, Kakashi could stop the swing of Zabuza's Kubikirihocho sword (

Beginning of Shippuden Kakashi could easily handle a Shoten Itachi (30% of Itachi's chakra but perfectly equal skills in taijutsu, speed, everything) in a CQC battle, even using a Kage Bunshin to fool him. If Naruto was not present, Kakashi could have easily made another kage bunshin underground and killed fake Itachi when he grabbed him.
Shippuden Kakashi could dodge a forest-destroying attack (Kakuzu's Fuuton: Atsugai) at point blank and with his attention divided by the taijutsu fight against Hidan (where, even with an injured arm, he was taking care of him with ease using just a mere kunai against his scythe), keeping up with Kakuzu's masks and taking an eye on team 10... and right after that quickly intercept Kakuzu's fast Raiton ninjutsu with a DOUBLE Raikiri, saving team 10's asses. With a little distraction, Kakashi could blitz Kakuzu who didn't even perceive his fast attack, even if we know that Kakuzu has so fine reflexes and perception skills that he can perceive Shikamaru's Kagemane (who obviously doesn't make any noise) approaching his back. It's worth note that Kakashi attacked so fast that even Hidan and the team 10 members, who were facing Kakuzu and so had free sight of what was happening behind him, were completely surprised.
Kakashi could nearly blitz Asura Path with his raw speed, dodging his attacks and appearing at his back. Kakashi is so fast that he was paced two times with Six Gated Gai (

Kakashi tanked like nothing a surprise Domu-enhanced kick from Kakuzu that send him flying for metres away and breaking some giant trees, a couple of Shinra Tensei, and didn't lose consciousness even from the 3rd, as Choza did. Kakashi also fought a lot of times with wounds and injuries without his performance being hindered. Kakashi can also wield the Kubikirihocho with just one hand with great skill for hours, and his physical strength is so high to make Obito internally bleed with just a couple of punches. Also as said before he can stop a Kubikirihocho swing with a mere and small kunai.
Kakashi is a highly-skilled user in a large variety of weapons such as bows and arrows, kusarigama, chains, wire strings and others. Since early childhood, Kakashi had highly proficient skill in kenjutsu, able to wield his father's signature tantō effectively enough to be mistaken for Sakumo. Due to his ANBU background, Kakashi's sword skill was especially improved. His weapon-skills are also very adaptable, even able to effectively use Kubikiribōchō, a blade of unique shape with noticeable size and weight, to defeat kenjutsu specialists like the Seven Mist Swordsmen after just gaining possession of it. He can also enhance his physical tools, channelling lightning-nature chakra through them. Remember when he saved Obito, Sakura and himself from falling into lava upon arriving in one of Kaguya's dimensions with a couple of kunai and a scroll? That's some Kakashi level business right there.
