Luffy has more of a reason to fight Kizaru than Zoro ever did, the only thing Zoro has for him is the Rayleigh parallel.
As far as the Rayleigh parallel, that doesn't really mean much. They just share similarities on the surface. Doesn't mean Zoro is destined to do everything Rayleigh does. What's next, he's going to get himself caught and auctioned off, so he can steal the money? Lol
Rayleigh was Luffys mentor. It's a common trope for the student to surpass the mentor, and accomplish what he couldn't. I this case, Rayleigh could only hold off Kizaru, but couldn't defeat him.
