I've seen roger saying that him and Garp nearly killed each other countless times and that he was one of the few (I think the only one) that could corner him.

So was Garp = roger = Whitebeard since Whitebeard was also equal to roger so where they all the same strength? I keep seeing people saying Garp was a lot weaker than them?

So during marineford war was Garp the strongest guy there since Whitebeard was not just old but sick as well.

I personally believe they were equals at some point, but just like Luffy, Roger's potential overwhelmed the Marines.

I think it's safe to assume he was at his level

Yeah for sure, Garp would of been able to push WB to high-diff. but I don't think he was the strongest. In their primes, I see them being relatively the same level in strength. People who say Garp was a lot weaker than them don't know what they're talking about.

Roger = 100
WB = 98-99
Garp = 97-98

I see Roger, WB & Garp as Luffy, Law & Smoker respectively. It'll become so near EoS for sure.

That's what I was thinking with only Garp being able to do anything against him once they reached their peaks. Everyone with D. for some reason always become haxxed lol. Has Oda even explained what the will of D. is?

Yeah, I do believe Roger's words much much credible than Buggy's, so Roger = Garp.

Garp was up there but he was weaker than Roger and WB. Roger and Wg were equal.

Garp would destory WhiteBeard the fact that he HAS NO Devil Fruit help proove my Clause that he is on a whole another league and will destory Whitebeard
I bet if Garp had a DF hed be the strongest same with Zoro

Which means they're doomed to be weaker, just 'cause they ate a disgusting, disfigured piece of fruit, which, in fact, could've been unintentional? Great logic there, buddy.

Nah, IMO if Rogers strength = 100

Whitebeard = 99.9
Garp and Rayleigh = 97

Smoker parallels Garp as Zoro parallels Rayleigh, and I think they're equals so...

Law=WB
Kidd=Shiki
Smoker=Garp
Coby=Sengoku
Zoro=Rayleigh

I dont think Roger was the single strongest character of that generation and I dont think Luffy will be the single strongest character of this generatio

Imo Roger had at least 3 (what I would call) equals: Garp, Whitebeard and Sengoku

What do I mean by equals: think Luffy and Lucci, a battle between any 2 of them could go either way and if Roger teiumphed over, say, WB it was because he's Roger or to put it another way, because of plot

Many ppl put Roger above everyone else, but I personally do not want a clear cut power scale with a definite no.1, leave stuff like that for series like Naruto

Who else do I think it in the same league as these guys? Atm that would prob be Dragon, Shanks and very likely Akainu (he IS the FA!)

And Luffy will need an eos enemy (most likely even 2), so that means Blackbeard will get there eventually and we will still need an enemy from the WG and I dont think it will be smoker, I personally (at this point in the story) think it will be Akainu

I think ppl want too see too many cookie cutter parallels everywhere they look, there are similarities but ... mah you get it

There are also a few other characters in the top tier of Op and each of them could give any of the above mentioned a run for their money

And before ppl start accusing me of being a Garp or Shanks or Dragon or Akainu or whoever fanboy let me just say that my fav chatacter is in fact Luffy
