He is a Kage level shinobi no doubting that, but most Akatsuki members are Kage level shinobi as well. In Akatsuki, he is only stronger than Deidara(not counting Hidan, Konan and Zetsu who are clearly the weak-trio) who is a strong Kid with close to no experience, not allowing him to use his full capacities rightfully

How exactly do Kisame, Kakuzu and Itachi deal with him? I need some proof.

Hype and portrayal is all what i need. Sasori was sacrificed in the Ambush squads when Kakuzu was left behind with Nagato and Itachi for a while because they had better purpose than dealing with small fries

Once again, Kabuto sacrificed him in the Ambush squad for a reason when the likes of Kakuzu were left behind with Nagato and Itachi for a while

Actually, I think that guys like Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu and Kisame are all close in overall power, their abilities are just much different.

No wonder. A puppet master without his toys is like Uchiha with gauged eyes.

1. Obito
2. Nagato
3.Itachi
4. Kisame
5. Sasori
6.Deidara
7.Kakuzu
8. Konan
9. White zetsu
10. Hidan

This is the most accurate list I could come up with. The challenge is ranking kisame,sasori,deidara and kakuzu as those 4 guys are the mid tier of akatsuki, and they can all beat each other depending on the matchup. So yeah.

By their feats shown in the manga . No Edo Tensei included , this Akatsuki is all member in their prime (Prime Itachi , Prime Nagato , Prime Obito etc.)

Though I had some little doubts on who to put first but ...

1 - Nagato/Obito
2 - Obito/Nagato
3 - Kakuzu
4 - Itachi
5 - Kisame
6 - Sasori
7 - Deidara
8 - Hidan
9 - Konan
10 - Zetsu

Although you may disagree with 3rd place and 10th place , Kakuzu held his own against Hashirama and still got out alive from the fight . ABC logic is wrong but here I doubt that Itachi would be left alive from a Hashirama fight . Even so , Kakuzu has shown incerdibile feats in the manga . As for Zetsu I know that he has been relevant for past chapters and stabbing a Juubi jinchuuriki , but all he has for a power is being 'sneaky' . He still has a weak mokuton . u_u
My list
1.Pain/Nagato
2.Itachi
3.Obito
4.Sasori
5.Kakuzu
6.Deidara
7.Kisame
8.Konan
9.Hidan
10.Zetsu

What can Sasori do against Giant Water Shark?

And about Magnet release, Samehada can absorb it

Use Magnet release or his puppets as a defense.

Yes, he can absorb it. But it would take him absorbing the magnet release from all sides.

In this fight, I see it as Kisame's stamina and Water style as his main assets, not Samehada. Surprisngly.

just based on overall skill & quality.
I don't care to factor in, or solely by their intra-squad match-ups & strength/weakness vs each other.

1 Nagato
2 Itachi
3 Sasori
4 Kisame
5 Deidara
6 Kakuzu
7 Konan
8 Zetsu
9 Hidan
