Before we start I wanna show you this
And this
Do you see the similarities? Both Luffy and Oden got oneshoted by Kaido (and to be fair to both sides I wanna mention two things; fist is that Oden has fought other pirates before Kaido so his enburens was weakened and second is that Luffy fought the stronger version of Kaido 20 years after Oden fought Kaido) taking this things in consideration we can assume that Luffy and Oden's endurance is equal (or at least the gap is small since Oden didn't lost his Consciousness compared to Luffy but there are factors that I mentioned before so take it as you want) but the difference comes with this
And this
As you can see Oden has enough offensive powers to heart Kaido (and quite well) while Luffy couldn't even scratch him.
Luffy vs Kaido fought happened pre Udon when Luffy didn't have the advanced COA but now Luffy has it which not just increases his offensive powers but also allows him to heart Kaido from inside out, while I do not believe that only because of the advanced COA Luffy's offensive powers will increase to Oden's level I do believe that with gear 4 he will have as much offensive powers as Oden had.
But here is the question... deos it enough to defeat Kaido? The answer is not. Kip in mind that Kaido is stronger then he was 20 years ago and while Oden did manage to heart Kaido it still didn't do much of a damage to him, so what now? Back in WCI arc I said that Oda's tactic for Luffy vs Kaido is that Luffy will avoid most of the Kaido's attacks through FS since Yonko offensive powers are insane but Luffy can't avoid all of Kaido's attacks which means that in order to have a chance against Kaido Luffy needs to increase his defensive powers and that means that Luffy will use this against Kaido in final fight.
There is a Big misconception about tank man that it's slow well, kip in mind that Luffy couldn't move because he was fat but that doesn't mean that he's slow. Yes, I do believe that tank man is slower than bound man and snake man but there is no way that it's slower than second gear which is fast enough for a fight considering the fact that Luffy will use FS with it. So we have Tank man which will increase Luffy's defense, FS which will allow avoid 70-80% of Kaido's attacks, the advanced COA which will allow Luffy to heart Kaido.
Where does Oden's power level stands for? I always ranked both Oden and Rayleigh as YC+ (for those who don't know YC+ is anywhere between YCs and Admirals) and as you can see I was right, while Oden has Admiral level offensive powers he doesn't have Admiral level defensive powers (here is the evidence to that
As you can see Akainu can take one punch from Whitbeard and continue to fight but gets defeat after second but even then he came back just few minutes later compared to Oden) so Oden is YC+ but how close he is to Admirals it's up to you.
As you know I said multiple times that WS titles aren't about fighting power and that in case of WSC and WSM it's about physical strength and durability while WSS is about skill and we got conformation in this chapter. If Kaido was stronger than any creature in terms of fighting power then Oden wouldn't have a chance against Kaido but as we saw Oden had the chance to defeat Kaido while Oden's physical strength and durability were inferior to Kaido's and same thing we saw in Mareanford when it comes to Whitbeard.
