Fightsaber states that Darth Vader couldn't penetrate Old Ben's lightsaber defenses.
Another work states that Darth Vader didn't become the greatest lightsaber master in the galaxy until Old Ben's death.
Considering the fact that Episode III Obi-Wan Kenobi is significantly superior to Old Ben with a blade, he's better than Darth Vader too.
That's only if you take the quote to mean lightsaber combat as a whole rather then just technical skill. And that doesn't take into account Obi Wan having improved augmentation due to growth in the Force and thus becoming a superior lightsaber combatant in this regard ( though not necessarily on the whole ).

That being established, Ben's greater Force abilities (which are up for debate, in any case) still had him labeled as a "shadow of his former self" compared to Obi-Wan Kenobi in regards to combat, so I disagree.
