Saruman had to steal Gandalfs staff after Gandalf had thown Saruman through a sealed door... Saruman struck Gandalf 5 times with a telekinetic assault, Gandalf struck Saruman 4 times.. back to a definition of what exactly is "easily".
So that was why Gandalf pushes back Sauron two or three times, because the outcome wasn't in doubt? Alternate way of viewing a scene to put it mildly. What does Gandalf not winning have to do with anything? Just because a guy doesn't win, doesn't mean he didn't put up a fight... this must be the most absurd thing I have heard in quite some time. That is like putting Anderson Silva up against Bones Jones and saying that because Anderson Silva lost every fight they had he got owned, disregarding the circumstances around the fights entirely, which is what you are doing in Gandalf against Sauron. Completely disregarding the fight itself and just looking at the outcome.
With that line of logic we can now safely say that Harry Potter owned Voldemort, we don't have to look at the fight itself, it's the outcome that is the deciding factor...
