well gates lee is faster than base lee without weights, and i'd assume lee without weights can be countered by any sage mode user or ms/ems user and the raikages, if he goes into the gates then maybe they cant but base lee is fast but can still be countered and there is a misconception that shinobi who dnt possess special visual prowess or move at near instantaneous speed can only counter others of like quality but there has been many occasions where slower shinobi matched their high speed foe...
like kisame vs 6th gate guy up until guy used kunjaku, or kimimaro vs lee and he even commented on lee's speed and still was untouchable as lee even said kimimaro was a taijutsu master and had no wasted movements, and kimimaro was sick and already dead as stated by kabuto and he was fighting off of his own sheer will which further means he would have whooped lee's ass even easier, and i dnt think lee had weights on then because the weights would have put further strain on his weakened leg at the time
