I don't know why anyone would think Kenpachi has a chance against Byakuya. The anime, filler arcs, and movies all make Kenpachi out to be some type of invincible guy, but relying only on the official manga canon for estimating both characters' abilities, it's clear byakuya should win. Senbonzakura can deliver an immeasurable amount of damage. Even though Kenpachi has strength and spiritual pressure, that cannot negate byakuya's abilities. Kenpachi has a talent for enduring pain, but he cannot ignore "fatal" damage. He admits he would die from blood loss during the fight with noitora if the fight went on much longer. Also, unohana kills him several times during their fight (once with a blade to the throat, causing him to lose consciousness), but revives him repeatedly. Byakuya's bankai can create millions of blades that pierce through the target's body. Surely, these blades would cause massive blood loss to Kenpachi or pierce any number of vital organs or other sensitive targets (heart, eyes, throat, muscle tendons, brain, lungs, etc). Don't forget that after byakuya was hit with his bankai by the Quincy as nodt, he was in such a severe state that unohana could not heal him (even though she healed Kenpachi after killing him several times), he needed to be healed by the zero division's healing expert. Some people believe that Kenpachi can deflect attacks with spirit pressure, but this is a mistake. This worked on ichigo briefly, until he focused his spirit into his blade and was able to cut Kenpachi despite the latter having more spirit. Furthermore, despite having more spiritual pressure than the opponents he fights, Kenpachi has never deflected attacks from a "captain class" opponent with or without his eyepatch. Tousen, noitora, unohana, and ichigo are all able to cut him with their blades despite having lower spiritual pressures. Similarly, Kenpachi would have no defense against the onslaught of blades of byakuya's bankai. Even after obtaining a shikai, kenpachi' style of fighting does not change; he's still a power type who can't attack someone outside of his range. He'd be killed by the blades long before reaching byakuya. Kenpachi is a good fighter, but needs to stay in his lane and fight other power types like noitora or yammy. When it comes to power, no one does it better than Kenpachi, but power alone cannot overcome the wide variety of abilities that byakuya and many of the other captains have. Any success he has in other fights is largely due to flukes (such as tousen, or the Quincy who killed himself with his own imagination). I would not bet on Kenpachi in a fair fight against any other captain honestly, much less byakuya. I think byakuya is the worst possible match for him.
