General & Others Why doesn’t the fandom respect BB? He’s surely one of the strongest in the verse already.

The most we can say is that he is implicitly above admiral level but that's it. If you replace him with Kaido or Big Mom in the Law fight you can't imagine them struggling in the same manner. He doesn't want the smoke against a Prime Rayleigh level opponent.

As far as top tiers go he's at the bottom of the ladder.

Trafalgar Law downplay
Teach scarred Shanks on Oda’s self-insert face and had him snitch to BB’s former boss

Law scarred BB on the inside then had his RHM whoop BB ass with a rock :pepelit:

In any case BB is guaranteed to be one of the strongest after he gets his 3rd fruit. Rn he IS the real underdog not that white clown Nika

For me there's "current Teach" and "future Teach".

"Current Teach" is strong but not invincible, he should theoretically fuck up everyone he fights but in practice he doesn't. He's basically OP but I wouldn't bet on him against any top tier without stamina issues.

"Future Teach" is BB at his strongest, who Luffy at his peak will ultimately fight and defeat. Maybe he'll be the monster from the mural or Dark Nika, maybe he'll be something else. But he'll probably be in the top five.

I mean, he's a top-tier so yeah he's one of the strongest but he seems like he isn't at his peak yet (I expect a third fruit). When he is and we get Shanks vs Teach, people will rate him higher, but he doesn't seem like he's the strongest top-tier or anything yet. I think it's fine for people to rate others above him, but he'll prove himself soon enough. Rayleigh admitting inferiority is probably the best hype along with defeating Law, but that doesn't make someone top 1 or anything, just really strong.

Because Oda did a piss poor job at making Kaido and Big Mom look like the top dogs they were supposed to be during the raid. Coupled with how much of a joke the Gorosei and the newly introduced Holy Knights turned out to be, people simply lost faith in Oda's ability to write threatening villains.
