This old posts of mine says it all. Copy n paste:

All 3 of them respect each other's strength and know their place in the strength hierarchy. Sanji knows Zoro is stronger than him and Zoro knows he is below Luffy. Every time it's just two of them, they never play second fiddle to the other. Whenever all 3 of them is together, Luffy always take the lead while Zoro and Sanji stay behind him and perform similar feats and tasks. There is also dialogue like:

-Luffy about Zoro: "Its okay. Zoro can handle anything!" Luffy to Viola about whether Zoro will be okay facing Pica.
-Luffy about Sanji: "Sanji has everything under control. He's real tough!" Luffy to Nami and the minks when Sanji left a letter saying everything is fine.
-Zoro about Sanji: "*sigh* No one would die....the cook is with them...." Zoro to Wanda about one of their crew members being killed.
-Sanji about Zoro: "Dont worry about Tashigi. When push comes to shove, the mosshead always pulls through." Sanji talking to G5 after Monet attacked and these are females were talking about.

About Zoro and Sanji's rivalry....it is a rivalry and they are very competitive, but its not about who is stronger, but about who is BETTER. "I can get a higher bounty! I can hunt better! I can do cartwheels better!"...that type of deal....a dynamic like that however wouldnt work if there was a big difference in strength...

It makes more sense to compare Zoro to Luffy than Sanji but Luffy and Zoro have a bromance, Zoro is doing his best to support Luffy and his dream ehile Zoro and Sanji are always bickering and that makes ground for a supposed rivalry then everybody knows Zoro>Sanji, even the hardest Sanji fans know that (even if somebody maybe doesn't want to say it loudly).

Zoro and Sanji has never admitted they were stronger than each other so I don't know where this "Sanji knows Zoro is stronger than him" comes from.

And with their rivalry, you can't omit their strength. Who has the higher bounty or who can hunt better? Strength plays apart of that to determine who is Better. Zoro and Sanji can play off each other but I have never seen either one of them say to the other to take the lead on a situation. If they have, please show me.

Swordsmanship is definitely a part of strength
What are you on mate?

In every arc where Zoro/Sanji is allegedly portrayed similarly Zoro always has something substantial that people cast aside to the side

In EL Zoro fought both Jabra and Kaku at the same time while Usopp latched on to him. Thriller Bark he endures another Warlord while everyone is passed out. And now in Wano, he endured the strongest attack in the series. But ofc ur gonna push that to the side as if Nothing Happened
Swordsmanship alone doesn’t effect your physical strength… so douriki not taking it into account is fine. In terms of raw physical strength, there was virtually no difference between jabra and kaku.

Sanji fought king and queen at the same time while zoro was incapacitated…
In Skypiea, Sanji took one of enel’s strongest attacks shown up until that point and still stood for a short time while zoro got incapacitated under enel’s heel… are we gonna use these to put Sanji above Zoro? I don’t think so.
And let’s stop acting like zoro ate hakai. He stopped it for a short amount of time and if it wasn’t for law saving him, there wouldn’t be any remains of him left. Him interacting with the attack for mere moments damn near killed him.
You are sword swallower yourself judging by your avy :cheers:
Ahh yes because liking a character with a sword automatically makes you a sword swallower. Find me a single post where I wank Maki from JJK. Calm yourself child.

Yes if we go by your logic
Logic? Ok. Sword swallowing is vigorous wanking. Where have I done that with maki?? I like zoro MORE than sanji post time skip. Unreasonable wank is just stupid and trust me, zoro fanboys are the worst with it. There’s a difference between a zoro fan like myself and a blind delusional fanboy like there seems to be so many of around here. Again, calm yourself

Look who is telling me to calm down while bashing an entire fandom how about you take your own advice

Never in the story was Sanji ever written to be equal with Zoro strength wise. His goal, compared to Luffy and Zoro is not competitive. He has never had a fight in which he had to push his body beyond his limits like those 2.

It makes more sense strength AND popularity wise, to compare Zoro to Luffy and not Sanji.

Change my mind.
I will tell you a secret.

There is no "rivarly" here. Just stupid gag ships and insecure Lanji fans trying to force rivarly because Zoro is too good.
