don't mind a Sabo vs. Sakazuki. Luffy can't be fighting everybody. If Oda intends to finish this in 5 years, then I don't see how Luffy is gonna beat Kaido, BM, Blackbeard, Imu and Sakazuki in that period.
I don't mind a future confrontation either, but people are lying to themselves real hard claiming that that fight comes even close in build up to what Luffy/Akainu have.
Luffy can't beat anybody, but Akainu and BB are those two characters that he has the most personal score to settle. There's literally nothing for Luffy to fight Imu since Dragon's life goal is it to end the tenryuubito and obviously the leader sitting on top.
I personally believe that Prime Blackbeard >~ Akainu, but it actually makes sense for Akainu to be on that level.
Blackbeard will surpass every pirate that stands in Luffy's way of becoming PK, not any Marine.
Luffy said that he must be superior to all Yonkou and Admirals to be truly regarded as the PK, and that what he's going to do.
But not by beating every single one of em in a 1v1, there's no need for that.
He'll beat the strongest Yonkou ( Prime Blackbeard) and the strongest Admiral (Akainu). This will confirm to us that Luffy has made it, finally.
Oda went as far as to give Akainu a win over another fellow Admiral to show us how he's the strongest of the bunch and coincidentally this Admiral has personal beef with Luffy, the protagonist.
Everything comes together imo.

I'm an admiral supporter but I want Sabo vs Akainu.
I think Luffy and Akainu will fight but then Sabo will take over for Luffy
That's totally fine.
