Defense, attack etc. doesn't matter. His combat power level is matters. Just because Kenobi is using defensive technique that doesn't mean he is inferior. It is true that he can't beat some people in a short time unlike Anakin can. But on the other hand, he can defend himself against much bigger fire power, I doubt that Anakin could hold his defense against Maul + Savage team, Obi-Wan did great job against those two in Floorum. Or he can defend himself against Grievous's multiple blade better, or he can defend himself against blaster bolts better than Anakin, for example ;

Anakin with an amplification from Force Rage akin to what he had against Dooku vs Plagueis becomes a close fight.. but more often than not Plagueis is going to win, regardless.

I believe that Dooku was kind of hindered in that battle (against Anakin, but not to Obi-Wan), especially since Lucas explained the secret conversation between Sidious & Dooku ;

Except Dooku says that he wasn't going to hold back during the duel because it would be easier to find another way to turn Anakin than it would be to replace Dooku.
Yes Kenobi is better than Skywalker at pure defence. Although Skywalker had solid defences himself. They are equal and opposites in that Anakin Is Offensive and Obi-Wan Defensive, both equally skilled.
However Anakin is Stronger and has greater stamina, all due to his natural force reserves.
Still when fighting each other Kenobi can negate Skywalker's Strength advantage by simply giving more ground than he would against someone as strong as himself on the offence against him.
Dooku decided he was going to go for the kill against Anakin/Kenobi before a large portion of the duel had played out, according to RotS, and even then - not killing someone =/= holding back. Dooku could have taken his arm off or any other number of incapacitating injuries rather than killing him.

Plagueis solidly.

What's so funny ? Oh, should I say ''Anakin was hindered'' bla bla crap, and completely ignore the fact that Obi-Wan fought equally with him ?
Nick Gillard personally declared that ''they just match each other perfectly''...
I agree that Anakin has advantage on stamina, however
Obi-Wan simply used his ''sokan'' technique for that, you see that battle was completely stalemate, and Obi-Wan's sokan mastery decided the outcome. ''High ground'

And he also says, that's only because Anakin used temporary force rage. (Similar to what TPM Kenobi did when Qui-Gon died, Anakin probably thought Obi-Wan died there)
