Let me see if I've got your argument right, because I think we're saying basically the same thing.
Are you saying
-the last scene in the manga, of Sanji attacking in the distance while Page One screams
is the same as
-the scene we see in the anime, where Sanji lands O-Soba Shooting Star or whatever he called it on him?
And it's just a matter of perspective really, with the anime showing up close what the manga only hinted had happened in the distance?
If so, yeah, I can agree with that.
And what I'm then saying is that because of that, the majority of people were wrong. Sanji didn't beat Page One. Page One is still going to be fighting in the war.

With the fact that every attack prior landed, you can say it will land this time as well, so the end of anime and manga is pretty much the same, both show Sanji´s superiority (only in the anime Page One takes more hits obviously), but does not give a definite answer to what happened. Page One screaming at the end was never a definite reason to believe he took him out, since it´s literally a sign of pain, the reason why some people believed that he beat him is his superiority and the context of him stating he will take him out + his attitude afterwards. And the anime did not change that, they changed after the initial usage (disappearing, first kick) to an equal exchange until Sanji started to attack by using the boosters.
So in the end it does not change the reasons to come to a conclusion, and both conclusions are still possible, meaning Sanji beating him or not. While Sanji beating him and him appearing in the war is also possible, though arguably would contradict his main reason for attacking him in the first place.
