Well for one Whitebeard, was at one point weak enough that himself Linlin, and Kaidos could all attack Roger, and roger survives. Then got strong enough to be recognized as the man closest to being Rogers equal, then age caught up to him, ending with him dying at the hands Blackbeard. Who even points out that age had caught up to him. So clearly age does play a factor into one piece. A man can reach a physical peak, and declines.
Jinbei being on the other side of physical prime. How does it make sense that he would begin to compete with Luffy Zoro and Sanji all under thirty, all way below what could be considered a physical prime for humans.
Weakened to the point that when she’s healthy he didn’t dare attack without Nico Robin to support him.

We can agree he wasn’t a weak warlord but being a warlord isn’t the same as it once was. We’ve been defeating warlords since Croc, and we’ve seen the hyper strong Doffy, and the joke Buggy. Both get the name of Warlord. So we don’t really know where Jinbei scaled in the grander scale of the one piece world
So its easy to say where Jinbe stands in terms of the warlords.
Mihawk >> Doffy / Jinbe / Hancock / Kuma (All comander level) > Crocodile / Moriah > Buggy.
