Why would Dragon fight him and not Luffy?
Kizaru vs Luffy (oldest C3 Admiral vs youngest monkey family member)

Aokiji vs Garp (youngest C3 Admiral vs old monkey family member)

Akainu vs Dragon would complete the trilogy of match ups. Also they are exact same age, were in the marines together, and Akainu would not shut up about Dragon at MF.

Even if Kizaru ability wise is unbeatable, it doesn't mean he beats everyone. Akainu specifically being resistant to Kizaru's heat, which is what is what makes him lethal. If Akainu can't put Kizaru down because he can create distance, then Kizaru can't put down Akainu too
I think Fujitora can also perform extremely well against Kizaru, we are talking about a blind man competing equally with actual monsters, his CoO has to be otherworldly. Gravity defense would perform well against the light fruit too, against most fruits even.
Fujitora is probably the worst Admiral matchup for Kizaru. He can take Kizaru's mobility away, which is key.

Teach is another individual who if he is awakened, should counter Kizaru. But now that we know that even FS, Snakeman level work rate, angles, unpredictability, and even G5 levels of speed ontop of FS, has little to no effect on him.

It's going to be very hard to argue anyone outside of mobility restricting opponents can actually defeat Kizaru. Speed, FS, work rate, nothing seems to actually work. I have to say, Oda messed up with this one, but him feeding Luffy could mean Kizaru is never defeated, so Oda doesn't have to deal with the headache of finding this extremely rare opponent for him who can pull off the impossible.
 
Detecting Kizaru’s movement is a matter of observation haki and we saw the gorosei talk about voices they sensed across the island.

Blitzing that level of COO is ridiculous
That's like saying Kaido and Goofy should've detected Guernica right away before he got in their clash

Saturn was pre-occupied with Bonney A LOT. They even had a wholeass flashback. If Saturn was engaged in actual combat then you might have a point but he was just torturing Bonney. Not paying attention leading to interruption is a thing
 
Kizaru’s speed is just utterly broken. And tbh hard to write.

Perception blitzing a gorosei and half a yonko crew while rattled is crazy.

If Kizaru wants he can never loose any fight just by zooming away.
Fairly possible he never gets a real fight because of it. It doesn't seem he will become an actual ally but I'm not sure if he will ever be a real antagonist either (he literally fed Luffy). Possible Oda just has him get stalled by X til his "brother" Akainu fall and he doesn't feel like has to continue fighting.

Shanks could probably defeat him tbh

I don't know, it seems like Sakazuki vs Luffy is probably what's going to happen. Dragon will still clash with him though.

Also what’s to stop Kizaru from fighting with an army of clones?

Like instead of sending them as a distraction at Luffy what if he actually has them back him up while controlling them.
Nothing, Oda simply fucked up and created a busted character. The least Oda could have done is have him be weak defensively when he does get touched, but Oda also decided to give him an insane guard, and elite endurance/durability on top of this. I know Admirals are supposed to be well rounded, but I think having one weaker point when he has such busted speeds would do a lot to balance the character out. As it stands Kizaru can pretty much do anything he wants against anyone. The dude could press a sword god like Rayleigh in CQC swordsmanship. He has too many busted options with no consequences.

I don't think Kizaru is ever gonna fall.
