[Discussion] In what way do you think Young Doffy was stronger than Older Doffy?

[Theunrestricted]

I ask this question because we know a small theme in One Piece is how old age can lessen ones abilities as they grow older. So I started wondering this really on all shichibukai and how weak they could have gotten over the years but we barely have any information on many of their past in their teenage years. The only ones that we have at least some info over that would have to Gekko Moriah and Doffy. An we know how weak Moriah seems to have become by his own testimony so I thought how much has growing older affected Doffy? Because in all honestly based on his performance he really looks like he is in his prime in this point of the story at the moment.

Doffy is pretty young. I don't think has has gotten any weaker.

Pretty much this. Dude was in his early 40s. Prime of life.

His comrades were in better shape thats the only upside I see here especially Lao G<=====theres the G

Lao G gets stronger with age. All the other ones are still relatively young.

Doffy's hair game was stronger when he was younger. But that's about it.

I think he was basically in his prime he's around 45

What I believe is that between gamma knife slicing up his organs

And then injection shot (still do not know what this does although as it's name suggests it seems like it injects opponent with something )
Hindered doffy performance against Luffy because how he was fighting before those two attacks is drastically different from how he was fighting after

I believe doffy is strong he can def contend with any of the yonko first mates or commander level however admiral level and yonko leve he cannot take on

He can fight them and produce difficulty (betweeen mid and semi high) but he can't win

I really wanted to see doffy and Fuji actually fight to try to gouge his strength better I know Fuji would win but just how easy

He was crazier and more hateful

The current Doffy IS stronger than the young Doffy.
