i think a direct challange between Gandalf the White and a ringless Sauron is likely to end in Gandalf's favour, because Sauron's relatively weak over those whom he cannot control and all he could do in defense would be to summon Orcs. if Gandalf were say to appear at Bara Dur and catch the Eye un-defended he could probably have taken him down. One likes tho think of Good having the final triumph over evil.
