It’s the same. It’s a match up in the midst of a war.

You’re just trying to stick to matchup scaling despite Kuzan Defeating Jozu when Kizaru couldn’t and Marco ended up fighting Sakazuki.

There’s a reason Oda separated Kuzan and Sakazuki then grouped Kizaru with Fattora and Twerkbull
Give it up man, you're trying too hard but failing. We all saw what we saw, you can twist it however you like or try and find false equivalencies throughout the manga but matchup scaling will reign supreme.
 
Like for all we know Sakazuki might have just been coping when he “spared” Kuzan’s life and couldn’t actually put him down for good
I remember reading a theory once where, because their powers both neutralize, they were so fucking exhausted by the end akainu was just like "bro just fucking go i'm too tired to finish this"

Yeah we did. Sakazuki ~ Kuzan is canon. Kizaru just ain’t there.
Matchup scaling takes precedence over anything and everything. Like I said. This just means Kizaru could do the same since it was established Kizaru ~ Aokiji at the very least through matchup scaling.

The only thing that can supplant this is if both Kizaru and Kuzan go all out and Kuzan proves to be superior OR we get a statement from Oda. Until then you can bring me all the stuff possible and Kizaru will sit pretty thanks to matchup scaling.
