Future Events Who Will Defeat King?
I get that is a possibility but it kills all tension tbh.....when I imagine Sanji vs King, there are no other people or structures involved, just two dudes in the air trying to kill each other....anything not that is a waste of a fight. I think Oda realizes how much he has neglected Sanji from a action standpoint, so giving him a 2v2 just isn't going to cut it. Oda has to make it personal between Sanji and King so we are invested; Marco vs K and Q was dynamic but not personal so It actually can't carry multiple chapters, at some point it just becomes a display of cool shit.....I don't want to see that. The best part of the rooftop was when it became personal and Zoro was talking about how if Kaido wanted to take his captain out he had to take him out first, that's what I want.
Actually that's what makes it more obvious; King is the only one of the two who is a aerial combatant so it makes sense for the one who can fly (Sanji) to take him down. Kaku didn't use his skywalk against Zoro, but that's because he was purely a swordsman, that was his forte. King's forte IS aerial combat and so these are completely different situations. A interaction between Sanji and Queen could resolve the Judge issue, a fight does not need to happen between them. I am not saying that this fight is not a possibility but I believe if you look at things holistically then the King fight makes more sense.
I'm only 99.99999999% sure it's going to be Sanji vs King in a 1 vs 1 because I don't trust Oda anymore.
Sanji is fighting King for sure but a 2 vs 2 with Zoro at some point can't be excluded.
It's something Oda would do to make those fights special when every reader just want to see real 1 vs 1 fights like Luffy's once again after 14 (?) years.

Yes of course, that can only be resolved through a fight of course.....no way it can be resolved any other way.....yes yes very true. But giving Sanji abilities compatible with King...hmmmm how do we have that work?. Guess we give just scrap that and base an entire fight off a character that the author didn't even bother exploring further in an arc where he was a key player.
Arguments for Sanji vs Queen:
- Queen talks about Sanji being Judge's son in 1 panel. Despite we having ZERO context about what this connection can be. Only speculations.
Arguments for Sanji vs King:
- During the PU's reveal show that was FI, Sanji was shown as having the Geppou ability from CP9 (which he calls Skywalk). Flying became a thing on his arsenal.
- During his fight against Judge, he mentions that aerial combat is his forte.
- He clashed with King once, showcased once again the durability of the RS.
- During the group shot, he talks about all the flying users of the Beast Pirates.
- He's heading to the Live Floor, carrying a severely wounded Zoro.
- Chopper is currently using the Monster Point. When he reverts back, he won't be able to move for a while, so he can't treat Zoro right away. Chopper used the Monster Point to fight Queen, so I assume he's still fighting him.
- Marco is there, and possess some hack healing ability that Oda can asspull into being more effective than what was previously shown because reasons, but for that, he would have to stop fighting King.
- Sanji can fight King so Marco can heal Zoro.

You're also ignoring that they don't need to fight for that to be resolved....and those comparisons you gave are so bad I don't even know where to start. There is a difference between having a capability to fight in the air, or that being your forte or specialty. That's why Zoro a sword specialist fights other sword specialists in major arcs, it's the same logic.
