All I see is cope. Oda and great marines like Kizaru & Garp hype Ray. Why does it have to be only great pirates? It's fact Ray got significantly weaker than his prime, why can he stop a yonko now (like Shanks) if you claim he would be helpless in his prime? Lol man was weaker in his prime to you?
BB when Shanks wants to fight him: I'm not ready daddy

BB when Akainu wants to fight him: I'm not ready daddy

BB when Ray is ready to fight him:
I'm not ready grandpa
BB when it's Marco, Ace, Boa: Now that's more like it, bring it on!
