Ehh, I disagree.
Lucci had stats to compete with G5 Luffy using basic haki. While Katakuri was just able to match WCI G4 Luffy using basic haki. And the clash from Lucci means something, because we saw a large amount of haki lightning indicating high amount of haki being used there.
Even with just basic haki........Current G5 > current G4 > WCI G4
Katakuri is overall stronger IMO due to FS and CQC, but Lucci is at or above his level when it comes to base stats.
Thousand Sunny is a decently big enough ship, and base Kaku was casually able to generate a flying slash larger than that ship. I don't think that is a tobiroppo-esque portrayal there.
Lucci is almost YC1 level (YC1-2 tier)
Kaku is almost YC2 level (YC2-3 tier)
Both would defeat Dresrossa Luffy/Zoro.

I dont think lucci is stronger than doffy either let alone kata
Tbf kaku is a swordsman that uses even his legs as swords. Air slashes being something they usually specialize in. Like even diamante has some pretty big air skashes. I dont think kaku has shown anything yet to put him over whos who let alone jack
Imo just like pre timeskip luffy and zoro still win
