Everytime someone tells me Smoker has superior feats it makes me Lol. And no i'm not even talking about the difference in their opponents here or how much better Zoro was handled comparatively to Smoker since the timeskip, but the actual feats in terms of actual physical stats/abilities showed since then. What does Smoker have besides his punches? He possess arguably the weakest logia devil fruit whose only advantage is giving Smoker the ability to fly and great manoeuvrability. Became even more useless since the apparition of haki, making his smoke body expansion actually a weakness against AOE attacks. So a Smoker only having his punches and great manoeuvrability versus a powerhouse and armament specialist with great reflexive/striking speed, much greater fire power and mainly durability/endurance beast like Zoro. Assuming he somehow even gets the upperhand, what would do to defeat him? Punch him to death? Zoro on the other side has too many options to finish off Smoker. I don't see how Smoker has any chance featwise, let alone being put at such a higher pedestal to be capable to win after a moderate difficulty fight. Hype/portrayal-wise is the only debatable thing and judging by the current hype/portrayal, i'd bet on Zoro over Smoker any day
That said i'm out of this thread before this one becomes once again another Zoro boring discussion thread. You guys seem to like doing this very often. Remain on topic at least
