Gandalf the Grey kicked around all the the nazguls at the Wheatertop; though both Gandalf and the wiki are enhanced at the time of the Pellenor fields, my bet is on the white rider - all the way.

Gandalf the Grey who battled the Balrog in Moria is not the same as Gandalf the White who faced the Witch-king at the broken Gate of Minas Tirith.

I'm fairly certain that Tolkien wrote somewhere in the Letters that Gandalf's power was roughly equivalent to all Nine Riders, so that unless the Eight were just pansies who went around saying 'Boo!', he was probably significantly more powerful than the Witch-king. If I find it, I'll let you know.

It is also mentioned in the appendix that the wiki feared Boromir I. Moreover, the original istari are said to be "mighty, peers of Sauron" - cf the The Istari, Unfinnished Tales; and in the letter #210 it is stated that the nazgul "have no great physical power against the fearless", among which I would firstly qualify Gandalf.
