I agree, our opinions of this fight are mostly speculative, but I'm still curious about what people think. For instance, Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi VS Kidd's "Magnet Magnet no Mi?" Luffy's speed vs Kidd's armor of metal & steel, their giant fists VS each other, that kind of thing. How would Luffy's stamina hold up to Kidd's repel attacks? Speculations can be fun as well.
Kidd's ability depends heavily on the availability of metal. If he has tons of metal around, his offence and defence are likely to be superior to Luffy's. Luffy's speed and endurance are probably a lot better than Kidd's, but it would be hard to say by how much. Kidd could be a pretty problematic opponent for Luffy under certain circumstances. I guess that I'd say on the archipelago in areas with large amounts of metal, like the amusement park, Kidd would have a pretty big advantage, but in more open areas Luffy would probably be superior.
I concur, this sounds like the most reasonable deduction. I hope we get to see if Kidd is a brawling kind of fighter, or heavily dependant on his DF's ranged capabilities. I would say a bit of both, I imagine that he is quite fast as well.
