Technically, Gandalf doesn't need his staff in order to cast magic. It doesn't act like a wand in the purest form, although it is recognised as a way perhaps to focus his magic and also as a talisman. Who would not be harmless if you robbed him of his staff (despite what the movies may say)
Even so, his ability to defeat Voldemort or not is still very much up in the air and it would as much depend on chance and fate especially as Voldemort can instant kill Gandalf, should he hit him with the Killing Curse.

Which is ironic considering he's only done about.. three, two of which I believe he used a staff for.
Fact:
Sarumon and Gandalf don't have "shitloads" of spells. They've only been shown to use a few.
I dunno... when he's fighting leagues of orcs? Fighting the nine, trolls, etc? If the man can lift his arms and three men suddenly drop their weapons, it'd make sense to assume that if a room full of orcs were to jump him he could do the same there.
comparing a character like Gandalf to Voldemort is a bit silly TBH, Voldemort is more of a "ooOOooOoo i'm ridiculously evil and i shoot green stuff outta my wand and kill you" ... while Gandalf's character is explained in much more detail and is alot more complex...
i voted Gandalf tho, he's not a 2D as Voldemort.
P.S: this is like comparing Rowling to Tolkien ...
Put it this way could u see Voldermort stepping to the Balrog................thats what i thought,Eclipso Gandalf would kick hiss assail,and Voldermorts tiny assail wand would be used as Big G's toothpick
Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, however Gandalf was instructed by the Valar, NOT to contend with Sauron at the time of the War of the Rings. If I remember reading the book correctly, Gandalf was also forbidden from using his full power as well. Because like Sauron, he is a Maiar spirit which are second only to the Valar, who are Gods.
Gandalf in the book was WAY more powerful then the "Gandalf of the movie", in fact, Peter Jackson took the leisure of even toning down Gandalf in the movie. The fact remains this, Gandalf is insanely powerful, and remember that he was forbidden to unleash his full strength by the Valar which he followed completely when he was a wizard is every indication that Gandalf is alot more powerful then you guys are assuming here.
Remember that Gandalf also has the ability of foresight, and being able to see into the future, he would be well prepared for Voldemort. I take nothing away from Voldemort, however you are comparing a human "wizard" to an immortal angelic being who has been sent from a God, and was so powerful that they were instructed to restrain their power.
ok, that spell disintigrates Gandalf's flesh or whatever. His Maia spirit is released and i as he truly is, Voldemort wonders "What the **** is th-" oops, Voldemort is dead cuz GANDALF IS UBER POWERFUL AS A MAIA SPIRIT!!!! He just says die and Voldemort is dead so hahahahahahaha

Gandalf. Dumbledore fought Voldemort to a standstill and I think Gandalf is more powerful then Dumbledore so there you have it. As for Avadah Kedavra, well, Gandalf can always dodge it.

Voldemort is only good with avada kadavera after he talks their ear off and aims it mentally he is the worst shot in a fight ! If he was a better shot everyone in that world would be dead , since he isnt a good shot Gandalf pwns
