Akainu is such a bad match-up for Luffy that I dont see how possibly their fight could happen...
Luffy cannot afford to take one clean hit from Akainu while that's exactly what he does in fights...

I think when Luffy vs Akainu finally happens, Luffy's COA will be at the level where Akainu will have to move heaven and earth just to shatter Luffy's defense and outright deliver the killing blow, so to speak, before Luffy beats him, whereas Luffy's COA will be at the level where any offensive measure delivered must wear down Akainu enough to eventually take him out for good before Akainu kills him.
It's an interesting fight, and I'll be looking forward to it.
