Not making any points about Lucci vs Doffy here.........just some points about Doffy.
Two things to consider here:
1. Doflamingo was nerfed. We can't say for sure how nerfed he was, but was significant enough where he went from casually dodging G2 Luffy, to barely dodging G2 Luffy
Doffy easily dodging G2 gataling spam:
While post GK, Doffy had a hard time keeping up with G2, getting hit often (but with then commenting that Luffy's attacks were too weak to damage)
2. He was getting dominated only pre awakening. Awakening Doffy was actually on the same level as G4 Luffy, and foought equally with him for 20+ minutes.
Doflamingo starts using awakening and able to comfortably deal with G4 attacks (while prior he was getting smacked around):
20 more minutes passed, they are in stalemate:
Riku says they don't know if Luffy will win or not, again indicating a more or less even fight:
****************
What eventually happened was that Doffy's finisher got overpowered by Luffy's finisher.
No be noted however, is that KKG is G4 Luffy's strongest attack in terms of raw power. Just the impact of Doffy landing from that attack folded an entire city block in half!
This is similar to the ending of Wano, where Kaido's finisher clashed with G5 and he lost.
Where both Kaido and Doflamingo believe that their finisher was stronger and intended to take the attack head on, instead of working around it.
But just as how we don't know if Kaido could've overpowered if he didn't go through a gauntlet and was out of gas. I'd say a similar argument can be used for Doffy, whose power got nerfed after getting hit by gamma knife.
I'm not saying it's a 1:1 comparison, because the nerf argument for Kaido is more applicable since it was more of a tug of war there while Doffy's finisher got overpowered easier. But, just putting it out there
But did Doflamingo’s awakening give him any kind of edge? I say no it didn’t. It simply dragged the fight out longer. It gave him a way to defend but he still couldn’t hurt G4 Luffy. Because his haki wasn’t strong enough
Luffy also was fighting in the coliseum; Fought his way up to Castle; Even let Spring dude beat on him for a while….*I hate these caveats*…Point being 1 vs 1 Luffy didn’t need Law to win. Luffy would resort to G4 earlier in the fight; He would have retreated until he was caught, endure Doflamingo’s attack, then finish him off with a KKG.
Lucci’s best feat was the fist clash with G5 which threw both of them back. After that Lucci is just trying to keep up, he’s doesn’t and he gets No diff…Doflamingo isn’t a chump, but Lucci should be a tier or two above him.
Lucci Mid/High Diff Win.
