Lucas says anakin had the potential, but it was cut on Mustafar.
Lucas said in the rolling stones interview that Anakin was as "strong" as the Emperor. He did not used the term "potential" when making this assumption. This clearly contradicts with what he has shown us in his movies.

And Kun did not fight DE Luke: He attacked a distracted DE Luke trying not to hurt his apprentice from behind-WOW! How POWERFUL! I guess Han Solo is better than Palpatine!
Distracted?
When Kyp (possessed by Kun's spirit) attacked Luke, he fought back as best as he could but he still failed. He could not defend against Kun's techniques and thus lost. This is surely an impressive achievement by a 4000 year old spirit.
And it took the combined efforts of all Luke's Jedi apprentices, Luke's own spirit and Vodo's spirit to stop and defeat Kun's ancient spirit. Now imagine that how strong was Kun.

And Yoda is the strongest Jedi up to ROTS, period. Confirmed in the Lucas word by word approved ROTS novelization. PAlpatine is the strongest Sith in history, according to several sources. Yoda and Palpatine are equals. Ergo...Now you see?
Yoda was indeed very strong in the Force but this does not means that he is far above the legendary Jedi/Sith of Old Republic period.
And Sidious is the strongest Sith Lord in Bane's Rule of Two Lineage.
SW Databank: He is the most powerful practitioner of the Sith ways in modern times.
And power is also an ambiguous thing.

Looks like you underestimate Yoda. Unless you can argue with direct canon...well, denial's the first stage, I think.
No I don't.
I recognize Yoda's position and consider him to be among the TOP 5 Jedi of all times in the Star Wars Saga.
