It's like Kuina vs Zoro
Roger vs Beard
Shanks vs Mihawk
A proper, serious competition to see who's stronger. Not a bicker joke that ends in 3 pages.
Rivalries are often a very defining aspect of a character. That's not the thing here.
Other than that, they never even have an after thought of each other when they're thinking about getting stronger during serious character moments and development. This is not how serious rivalries are written lol
