Luffy didn't fight in G4 for hours, in any case I wasn't say Zoro needed maximum effort, merely this is evidence he was engaged in a moderately strenuous 2vs1 for some period of time.
Apoo was already on his back foot unbalanced against Drake and had both his weapons and attention occupied. This feat is meaningless considering the damage wasn't even enough to put Apoo down for a whole chapter, this is while Apoo is being nerfed and not using his fruit due to a bad 2vs1 CQC matchup while being chased by others.
Zoro>Apoo, no doubt, but this was an unfair fight and was not a "low diff" win in a fair 1 vs 1 as Zoro fans seem to be memory holing.
Zoro is good at dragging his captain down and preventing him from reaching the roof.

I find it hilarious how Oda wrote the last 3 chapters:
1- Zoro and Drake team up on Apoo, and Apoo blocks both of them
Fans: OMG, Zoro needs to team up for Apoo, Apoo is casually fucking with them
Next chapter
2- Zoro speed blitz Apoo and cut him:
Fans: OMG, Zoro doesn't fuck around, Apoo is not on his level, Kidd couldn't finish apoo in his sneak attack, but Zoro did, Zoro > Kidd
Next chapter
3- Apoo stands back up, and continues to fight Drake, Drake defeats him
Fans: OMG, Zoro couldn't finish Apoo yet, Apoo still stood back up after is sneak Attack and after Zoro getting serious... Apoo for the win...
Mark my words
Apoo stands back up after the panel which Drake is claimed to finish Apoo with... cause spoilers also said last chapter that Zoro defeated Apoo hahaha... so I wouldn't be surprised if Drake did an attack that looked like it finished Apoo, and he came back up next chapter
That being said, IT"S BEEN A WHILE since we faced a crew that can withstand a beating... where the regular members of them don't get oneshotted with a finishing move, rather they can stand back up and fight and get another 3-4 until they are down...
And I can only imagine that Ancient Zoan users like Tobi Roppo will be on that level AT LEAST... because we saw that with Pageone against Sanji or Luffy, and same with Ulti against Luffy + Yamato
They can take a beating and get back up
The fact that Zoro didn't oneshot his opponent here (even though he's NOT ancient zoan) can make me optomistic that if Zoro did fight a calamity, it will not be like "Mr.1" fight where he gets a beating for majority of fight, and then ends it in one swoop, rather e will have to do more than 1-2 major attacks, he'll have to inflict lots of wounds hopefully... which might create the "BEST FIGHT for Zoro in this series" possibly

This, as just need to be patient. I remember Franky vs. Sasaki being dead in the water until he showed up a few chapters ago. I will be calling these fights until Oda makes vs title cards:
Zoro vs King
Sanji vs Queen
Jinbe vs Jack
Franky vs Sasaki
Brook vs Whos Who
Robin vs Black Maria
Chopper vs Page 1
Usopp/Nami vs Ulti (they've only ever been shown to fight Ulti. P1 stayed out of it.)
If Brook and Robin head towards the mansion soon, if Ulti continues to chase Usopp and Nami, if Chopper and P1 stay on the performance floor like they are, if Queen is still interested in Sanji, if Jack is a viable threat still after recovering, if Marco attempts to help Zoro reach the roof only for King to block it, then all of this make sense.
But right now its an if and it depends on how these next 10-20 chapters go.
