I'd dispute this but the Nika dickriding has been so intense since the end of Wano it's hard to see anyone really being equal to him when all's said and done
But I still think Sabo could, at the least, push him to a high diff maybe
Sabo is one of my favorite character. Luffy used to be too, but now I hate post-Nika Luffy.

I dont think anyone will ever come close to Luffy (and I hate it).
 
Nothing can be cut here.
Can only be defended.

That's not the point... Sabo loses a good factor of his offense, a good part of what makes him that powerful while Zoro doesnt. From the get go, you can tell Sabo is at a disadvantage here.
Sabo is not at a disadvantage though
His haki, physicals, and CQC skills are unaffected
Zoro doesn’t have natural durability or resistance against fire
It is a matter of CQC and who lands more attacks on the other, maybe one attack but that’s besides the point

Zoro countering mera AoE is not a nerf to Sabo

An example of a real disadvantage is Kizaru vs Akainu, Kizaru would have a seriously hard time dealing heat based damage to someone on his level that is heat resistant
