Is it even confirmed that Roger was the strongest person in the world?

It seems to be still valid to assume that he may have become the pirate king for having the overall strongest and most skilful crew even though he himself was actually weaker than other people or equally strong to someone else, like Whitebeard.
Yep it's not confirmed, a Big if. Some people think Whitebeard was stronger, others they were equal, but it's unclear how right they were. :cheers:

The impression is that they fought several times and more probably no one clearly prevailed over the other.

"Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained everything this world has to offer."

They call him Pirate King for a reason.

Whitebeard got the WSM title after Roger's death I believed. So Roger was definitely the strongest man in his era.

Buggy said Whitebeard's WSM title was because he was the only man who could go toe to toe with Roger.

The Ace novel backs this up. This is around the same time Sengoku is introduced lol.

The great pirates were always meant to be stronger than their marine counterparts.

Where is it written that Whitebeard got the title of the world's strongest man only after Roger's death? And was it immediately after Roger's death that he got the title, or many years after Roger's death? Was it directly stated that Whitebeard only got the title precisely because Roger died? Because if this is not the case, then it's still valid to assume that the real strongest man may have died as well around the same time or after Roger died.

And even leaving this aside, there's also the possibility that Whitebeard only got the title of the world's strongest man when Roger died because as long as Roger was alive it was still uncertain which one of the two was actually the strongest. So this still doesn't confirm that Roger was the strongest; Supposing that the two were really equal and also stronger than everyone else, then it makes sense that one of them had to die in order for the other to be recognized as the strongest man in the world.

Yeah, but that's still very vague, because how much power he attained is not specified, and there are different kinds of power. Even if he became the most powerful man in the world, that power isn't necessarily directly related to his physical strength, and most of his power may have been in the crew and ship that he was the captain of.

In any case, that text is literally not true, since he clearly did not attain everything the world had to offer. He did not even have health, for example, and was going to die of a disease.
