First of all, hello guys, as this is my first post in Narutobase ^^
Actually I registered mainly to write it.
In my opinion, Kakashi is REALLY underrated. I got some evidence to back up this statement and here it goes:
Pure information stated in the manga:
The following info comes directly from the manga, so it should be considered true.
-Kakashi is famous for copying and knowing more than one thousand different techniques. I don't think any proof is needed for that, but anyway
-Kakashi's Sharingan was actually stated to be on similar level as Itachi's.You must be registered for see links
-Kakashi cut a lightning in halfYou must be registered for see links
-Kakashi would kamui (=win against) Kakuzu in case Naruto hadn't arrived.You must be registered for see links
-Pain admitted Kakashi would mean trouble for Akatsuki if he stayed alive.You must be registered for see links

As the evidence I have links to the proper manga pages, but I can't post them yet, of course.
Edit: Added the links.
My conclusions:
Yep, now these are not as solid facts as the ones stated above, but it doesn't mean they are not based on manga. For these, I'm sure many people will disagree with me. I think it's still worth analyzing, though.
-Kakashi was holding his ground when fighting Itachi in part I as long as Itachi didn't use MS. The fact that MS is exhausting for Itachi, we can assume he wouldn't use it if it wasn't really necessary. Thus, I think without Itachi's MS, the fight would be quite even and long. Even if Kakashi lost at the end, it would still take considerable effort for Itachi to take him down.
-Kakashi was actually an inch (literally
Now, a bonus question for those nice enough to read all of this!
How much more, including being nominated for Hokage and fighting several bijuus at once, do you need to admit Kakashi is easily Kage-level ninja and not your average Jonin?
+Rep
You too, seem to miss the point. EVERYTHING in the manga indicates he is easily kage-level. While you guys try to tell me I argue with Kishimoto himself, it is, and that's funny, YOU who misunderstand his intention for Kakashi.
A great example is aftermath of Kakuzu & Hidan fight.
Kishimoto, through the words of Kakashi, stated Kakashi would have defeated Kakuzu anyway.
Now some of you say "No, he wouldn't" and then tell me not to argue with Kishimoto's point of view. xd
Seriously, that's more than ridiculous!
The Zabuza's generations of swordsmen is said to be the strongest ever. Additionally, Suigetsu's brother, who was said to master all of the seven swords, was called "the second coming of the devil himself", the first one seems to have been Zabuza, as only he was called a devil as well.
Thus, Zabuza is supposedly one of the strongest members of the strongest swordsmen generation. It's not a dishonour for Kakashi in any way that he got rid of him in two blows instead of one.
..p.s. i just wanted to throw in that kakashi couldve killed kakuzu he were to have used his kumai and if he didnt have to watch over the youngins
Bolded statement: I don't think Kakashi's Sharingan is on the same level as Itachi's, I think he meant that they were both on the level of Mangekyou Sharingan.
This is great, seriously, Kakashi is very underrated and I have always underestimated him for some reason, thanks for this
you brought up some good valid points as well in the earlier comments
heyy take it easy friend, im not on anyones side. i agree with you that he is underrated, i see ppl doing it all the time. But at the same time the guy had a good point, fact are facts, and thats what ppl need to know. thats why i repped him
And that's also why I find it ridiculous to deny Kakashi's option to kamui Kakuzu and at the same time telling me Kishimoto thinks otherwise. xd

Oh, he did state it when he was nominated for Hokage after Danzo's death. Don't feel like searching for the page now, but if You really insist I may provide it to You.

oh be a dear and do so please...
And sorry for misleading You, that was said when Danzo was still alive, but escaped from Kage meeting.
Kakashi faced far stronger ninja. He should have done better. Kakazu. Pain. Etc.You must be registered for see links

Also, it's worh to note what Yamato said: "I have a feeling everyone will agree right away". This indicates that Kakashi is not just a back-up Hokage candidate and actually a real deal. Although, as I said, it's an indication, not a proof.
Don't get me wrong, I used the generations as a means to show my argument as why Zabuza is powerful.
Don't forget he killed all graduates from the Kiri Academy single-handely before obtaining any shinobi training. Then, he was powerful enough to try to assassinate Mizukage. He's certainly not kage-level, but above jonin for sure.

He defeated him in two moves. What's wrong with such a victory?

Might me true.
