Anime filler and this is enough to evidence as to why you think yonko>admirals like the majority of others who say the same: anime fillers. Akainu showed no fear whatsoever in the manga.

In theory, they aught to be put at the 1-4 spots on a top ten list. Maybe 1-5 with akainu in there.
We have no idea how strong Dragon is, but its safe to assume he aught to be in the same strength level, if only because main characters dad.
The Gorosei are not fighters. If they are, they arent top-tier. low-Vice admiral at best.

They have scars, they are.
And the reason for why Akainu should be the most powerful is?..

They have scars, therefore they have been injured. For instance, if someone rushed them with a sword, they would get scars and still not count as fighters.
Single handedly challenged both the Marine and the Yonko.
Captured 18 times.
Sentenced to death 40 times.
When they hanged him the chains broke.
When they sent him to the guillotine, the blade shattered.
When they impaled him, the spears broke.
Sunk 9 great prison ships.
And people actually think Akainu can still beat motherf*cking Kaido of the Hundred Beasts???

Because of the Balance of the Three Powers. The World Government, for whatever reason, wants the institution of the Emperors to remain intact so the balance between Emperors, Marine HQ, and Warlords has to be maintained.
When Shanks showed up, one of the Emperors had already fallen, and three of the Warlords needed to be replaced. The Balance of the Three Powers was already severely disturbed by these gaps in positions. They could have fought Shanks' crew if they wanted to, but they had nothing to gain in doing so.
If Shanks' crew won, then the Marine HQ would have fallen. If the Marines had won, then there goes even more unbalance in the most delicate part of the Balance of Three Powers. Either way, the World Government wouldn't want them to do it, hence why they didn't call Shanks' bluff.
That's also not adding in the fact that the Marines' image was starting to look bad by the fact that they WANTED more war after Ace and Whitebeard died. Both Coby and Smoker noted that the Marines were starting to fight not for Justice, but for blood-lust. Continuing the war with Shanks' crew would just tarnish the Marines' reputation, making them look like they just crave chances for murder and enjoy it, something else the WG wouldn't want.
If Big Mom or Kaido had showed up at that moment, the exact same thing would have happened. It's not because Shanks showed up, it's because an Emperor period showed up. And that doesn't mean that Akainu is incapable of fighting Emperors, but that because he's a Marine, there are political agendas he has to adhere to, even if he can and wants to fight.

If akainu is stronger than all of the yonko then don't you think the world government would have got rid of the yonko by now

Probably? Didn't it say 1v1 always bet on Kaido? Isn't that the manga telling us outright Kaido>Akianu?

Very well put. However, I have to disagree. The balance of power isn't a three way balance. It's a two way. The warlords and the marines are to balance out the power of the yonko. And that's just one yonko. The other balance is the fact that the yonko refuse to work together. I think it was stated that if even two yonko decided to work together that they would be unstoppable. I think that's why the marines were so worried about shanks having a meeting with white beard. So I think the fact that the marines have to incorporate a warlord system just to combat one yonko crew speaks for itself. If a yonko was able to be taken down by only the marines, let alone a single one (akainu) don't you think they would have completely wiped the yonko a out? And as far as the balance of power is concerned, don't for a second think that the marines are ok sharing the power with criminals. I think that if they were capable of making the situation how they see fit I'm sure they would have taken out the yonko and all the war lords. If the marines could have all the power they would in a heartbeat

If you paid attention to what you were reading, you'd see that the World Government wants the Emperors to remain a thing.
Also, just because Akainu might be stronger than each Emperor individually, that doesn't mean the Marines can just roll up and start fighting them all. They have people weaker than Akainu, while those Emperors also have countless allies. And then when you count in the fact that a war between two large factions would be constantly changing match-ups, the whole "This individual is stronger" thing really goes out the window.
Maybe I wrote that wrong. The probably isn't that Kaido is above Akainu, the probably is that Kaido is probably the only one.
