Can't this apply to most villains? Don't you think Arlong was sad and pissed when he saw Hatchan and Kuroobi get their lunch money stolen by two randoms with no bounties?
I don't think thats enough to say a character is nerfed against the people they're fighting. What nerfed Doffy was him having to constantly stitch his organs back together as he fought G4.
Also this whole "Luffy and Law did really impressive things in the future so it's a big feat for Doffy to be able to give them a tough fight" thing is kind of asinine, no? You don't see people hyping King up saying "Zoro is the future WSS and will defeat/kill Mihawk" as it's not relevant to their fight. Sure Zoro will do that, but it's not like King fought that specific version of Zoro, so why bring it up?
Edit: BTW their fruits are only that valuable because of the immortality surgery and the awakening of the Nika fruit, neither being used in Dressrosa.

Arlong was sad and pissed! Both for his subordinates and his building and maps. As I remember it, might be wrong, it made him more open to Luffys counter attacks after attacking rashly.
King is a 1.4B guy, even slightly above Marco. The same Marco that the WG viewed as the only pirate in the world except other Yonko (albeit Marco had access to WBs fleet) that could beat BB. Before the Shichibukais new bounties and the Supernova trio got theirs no pirate in the world except yonko had a higher bounty than him!
Kings durability, not Kaidos, is in the Seraphim. Dude is a legit problem whose bounty might be too low. He chose to hide behind Kaidos shadow and his sole purpose in life was to serve Kaido and make him PK. Amongst other things it took Zoro to realize that apart from serving Luffy he needs to do it for himself in order to ascend.
