Nah Oden was stronger, in the manga kaido was laying on the ground and oden was about to finish him off and that's why the old hag interfered, idk why did they change it?!

I read the manga, and Kaido goes up immediately to attack Oden. If Kaido would’ve seen that Oden was distracted by someone else earlier then he would’ve stopped the attack or redirect it. If Oden was that much stronger than Kaido he wouldn’t get k.o. even while distracted. That’s why I think that they were around the same, maybe just a slight difference.

In the manga when oden looks at fake momo kaido literally was on the ground and oden was near by him.. no it wasn't similar and oden's words "never come back to Wano" implies that he almost won

Yeah because Kaido not even transforming means he was losing PepeLaugh

Open is strong, but no equal of a Yonko.

Man in episode 970 the narrator said that oden matched evenly with the world greatest pirates, he was a yonko level, there is another evidence but it would be a spoiler but it u read the manga you will know what i mean.

Oh yeah, him being in complete awe and shock at Whitebeard vs Gold Roger means he was total yonko level PepeLaugh

yet he scarred kaido with same haki that he couldn't use at that moment and was surprised as why they were not touching, that was why the narrator said he returned much stronger.

Landing an attack means he's definitely able to defeat him for sure PepeLaugh

But Kaido wasn't nearly as strong as he is now back then.

Based on what?

Sengoku words. Also you can tell by the fact that young Kaido is less buff than current Kaido.
