Somehow I think it's rather stupid to put different versions of the same character against each other in a versus thread. Reasons ?
a) The later version would know the younger version inside out while this can't be said vice versa. That always gives the older (meaning advanced in age) version of the character a nice advantage.
b) Talking about force users: They only get stronger over time. At least in terms of force powers. They might lose some dexterity and physical strength but in most cases this can easily be ignored due to their ability to aid themselves using the force.
Now really. If the first movies would have been filmed with the technical (and financial) abilities that Lucas has at hand today, nobody would even argue that. ANH Ben and Vader would move around like Dooku (at least) if not going completely CGI and turning the fight into another Yoda VS Sidious. I really don't see why Ben should have lost his fighting skills or speed suddenly, when much older force users (e.g. Dooku or Yoda) didn't.
This being said, ANH Ben would kick the ass of any former version of himself, be it TPM, AotC or RotS Obi-Wan. That battles will be long (Soresu VS Soresu) but old Ben does really have all advantages on his side.

How is this even debated? Jedi Master Kenobi v Padawan Kenobi, wonder who would win? Its almost like debating little kid Anakin v ROTS Anakin.
I agree that ANH Ben would with against TPM OB1, just curious as to why you thought that. And no, I wouldn't say its like TPM Anakin vs. ROTS Anakin...thats way more extreme.

Unlike TPM Anakin, TPM Obi-Wan actually had some experience with the lightsaber and was already proficient in at least one lightsaber form. ermm
