Well we've seen him in action against oro in the tsunade arc and although he was under the effect of the drug he was fighting a armless oro and he definitely lost that fight. Also while he got his ass kicked by four tail naruto oro did pretty well against him and, in your own words, he was merely playing with naruto abdula. Imo he's definitely the naruto of the group.
