Sabo is a bit too weak atm to be #2 (compared to Dragon) so yeah I think there's someone above him. The gap between him and Dragon is too big. Also, why are people relying on hype so much than feats.? What hype does Sabo have to place him above Doflamingo? Remember how many people hyped up Burgess's title/rank and look at him, he got his ass handed to him by Sabo casually (bit of an exaggeration).
Seems like people like to down play what feats people have in favor of other people. Currently Burgess is one of the leaders in BB crew in fact BB was confident enough to send him to go get the DF. Sabo beats him and its like Oh its just burgess..., he matches Fujitora and its like Oh, fuijitora wasnt going 100%, How do you know this? Have you seen his 100% or are you going to base it off hype, and then say we cant base things off hype.
Im not fighting to say that Sabo is stronger then any of the admirals, im saying that it seems like people have this extremely bias way of rating characters. We have yet to see anyones 100% in the current Arc. You cant say he isnt going 100% until the person surpasses what they did before.
If i take a test and get a 70, that is my 100%, if i take it again without studying and get an 80% then thats my new 100% and you can say that i wasnt doing 100% on the first test, but until you see me do better you cant say i didnt give it 100%.
Then we have people say Oh, he is stronger then Doffy, but weaker then the Admirals. Doffy clashed with Fujitora, and Fujitora Calshed with Doffy. How does that mean sabo is stronger then Doffy? How does that mean Fujitora is stronger then Doffy?
As far as the dressrosa arc is concerned for the moment Sabo = Fujitora = Doffy. As the arc progresses it may become more appearent that one is greater or much greater then the other. We need consistency when we make remarks.
