Apart from the dynamic thing, which I already posted about...yeah, why not? Maybe.
King would win without major injuries and after some fight.
Queen lost in two hits against O Lin: a mentally child BM without haki, homies and memories. Didn't die only because BM wanted the candy and didn't punch him a third time. BM in her right mind, with haki, postponed the fight with Marco.
If that does not ring a bell about the two being pretty far from each other, I don't think I can do more.
About the statements, which are different from that, I already said: not only they were not at all specific, but it is like saying Zoro ~ Sanji because of the Monster trio statement or the wings of the PK statement.
And thousand cases like that.
Idk, Kinemon talked about the 3 strongest samurai they had to recruit, Asura, Denjiro and Kawamatsu in the same terms:
So they are all near each other because Kinemon talked like that and did not explicitly said one or two were stronger?
