The title Kenpachi is given to the strongest Shinigami of the current generation. However, during Yamamoto's fight with Aizen's group I remember him saying that he has remained Captain-Commander for the last 1000 years because no stronger Shinigami had been born in all that time. What is the distinction between these two titles?

I know that the Kenpachi is supposed to have won the most battles and defeated the most enemies, but is this the only difference? Seems to me that the two titles conflict with one another.
