Today I'm going to be comparing the situations between these two characters, in which case one might end up beings stronger than the other. The perfectly moulded storyline of one piece can only lead us to draw certain conclusions.
First off, we know that Oden's fight against Kaido ended up with him loosing, but let's not also forget the fact that Oden lost due to what seemed like a threat to his child, momonosuke. This was a trick by a witch called Kurozumi Higurashi.
Kurozumi higurashi had the clone clone fruit but apart from that she could foresee, after all she is a witch. And her fore sight were not usually wrong. During the battle between Kaido and Oden, she interfered by convincing or tricking Oden Into believing that they had captured his son.
As we saw in the previous one piece chapters, Oden fought with white-beard on equal ground but couldn't fight against gold roger. This means that oden is strong and as such white-beard held back against him. But there's no removing the fact that Gold roger acknowledged Oden as being strong.
So oden should be a little below the power level as white-beard and Roger.
