databook is inconsistent. I still based the facts on what we saw in manga. kakashi and itachi had the same hand seal in the databook, but do you agree with it?
one path of pain was able to completely block a punch coming from sage mode jiraiya with frog katas, and I doubt gentle fist is stronger than sage mode.

The databook statistics are inconsistent when the values of two people's abilities are 5, even though one would still have a greater ability in that one area.
Since 5 is the highest define value, that should be limit of a person's mastery in that area, though there are some people have greater abilities than that, and, if possible, would be considered a 6, or even a 7.
When it comes to lower, more defined values is when everything makes sense.
3.5 is clearly lower than 4.5, and therefore shows a significant gap in their taijutsu level.
Again just because a taijutsu is stronger, doesn't make it more effective. The gentle fist is
gentle for a reason. all the person would have to do is touch the opponent to do damage to their body.
Itachi obviously, just because Neji studied it his whole life doesnt mean he could win
Itachi whos taijutsu is equal if not better than Kakashis
And im pretty sure Kakashis taijutsu is still better than Neji as far as we know (Havent seen Neji in awhile
That being said Neji gets 2nd place
Actually, in this case, it does mean a difference if one does study taijutsu their whole life. It means that they are more experienced in that specific area of taijutsu, even if one is slighty older than the other. In databook, all of their taijutsu stats are 4.5 meaning that all of them are fairly equal when it comes to taijutsu. Databook is not inconsistent here only because their stats are not 5.
The use of the rennigan and sharingan in readin movements gives nagato and itachi the upper hand in taijustu,bt if they where to remove those eyes neji would stand a chance,bt we kno th@ there'd neva be a thing like th@ so face it,neji dies,itachi barely survives,nagato wins
The rinnegan cannot read movements like the sharingan.
I'm not sure between neji and itachi. I know neji uses the gentle fist but couldn't sharingan copy that? Certainly did the trick with rock lees strong fist style
The sharingan could copy the movements, but not the actual style itself, mostly because it requires precise chakra control and the byakugan in order to be effective.
