The notion he used a lesser fighting style vs ray doesnt fit the manga though clown as ive stated. Considering he was raging after that doesnt suggest he had another superior way of fighting tucked away. The best fighting style is the best fighting style. Luffys not gonna pick a sword in a hard fought battle and zoros not suddenly gonna start brawling.
On the other hand, Luffy didn't use Gear Fourth from the start against Doflamingo nor the latter used awakening at the beginning of it. Fights don't usually start all out, so not even there you can be sure of how Kizaru would have developed his style as the battle went on. Not assuring anything on my part, just suggesting possibilities.
By the way, you can think big of yourself acting all cocky and insulting others who disagree with you, but in the eyes of someone who isn't fifteen years old anymore you simply look like a violent bully who doesn't know how to communicate as a grown man. Take that as an advice, if you're mature enough to make something out of it.
(Another time we'll discuss your assumption about "Kizaru being pushed" by an old man who was constantly shown in a defensive position and was panting and complaining about his age after a few clashes even though top tier battles last for days).
