Gillard's already confirmed Vader is an inferior fighter to the TPM crew. Placing him below TPM Kenobi who would be eviserated by either prime Obi Wan or Anakin:
What was the most difficult fight sequence in any Star Wars movie?` `The first one, because it had been so long since the last movie. I may have been a bit flippant. I liked the fight with Obi-Wan and Darth Maul, but some seven years on, it's evolved so much. I've taken it so much more seriously. I understand it much better, so once I got to Obi-Wan versus Anakin, I really let it rip. But also keep it so true. On The Phantom Menace, it's the first time we've seen them fight that well. But by this last one, I think we had it in the bag, everybody knew how they should be. Everybody knew how it should look. There's so much pressure as well, because millions of fans also know how it should look, and you've got to try to stay true for them too.

actually read the arguments before saying something stupid.Just gonna give some more support to Vader winning here. In Shadows of the Empire, it is stated that RotJ Luke is at least comparable, if not superior to RotS Anakin.
Meanwhile, Vader has multiple statements saying that he could’ve bodied Luke if he wanted to. Luke himself stated (in The Courtship of Princess Leia) that if Vader had wanted to kill him, he would’ve gotten stomped.
So Vader >> Luke >= Anakin, and Obi-Wan is significantly beneath Anakin. He was pretty consistently overpowered by Dooku, who is stated multiple times to be beneath Anakin, and before someone mentions the Mustafar duel, it is stated in Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader that Anakin was weakened during that duel.
Also it has been stated more than once that Vader, even at his weakest, is still superior to Dooku (as stated in Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader and an interview with George Lucas) who is stronger than Obi-Wan.
TL;DR Vader is FAR superior to Luke and even FARTHER superior to Dooku, who are superior to Anakin and Obi-Wan, respectively.
