Nah thats because Gaban was not like sanji, nor Roger was like Luffy nor their relationships were like Zoro and Sanji.
We don't have much background anyway but whatever we have Gaban and Rayliegh never seemed to be fighting, Rayliegh was always a level headed guy. Even the fight with WBPs, there was no opponent for Rayliegh because he was already setup as a legend like WB/Roger......
Then oda started hyping Gaban which is fine even though nothing of that sort happened nor was implied earlier....and now he made him a cry baby like Lanji..
