Exactly he has narrative and portrayal. That's why we know he is strong. So I find it weird when people selectively choose to respect and not respect narrative and portrayal when it suits them when regardless it should be respected
It's different because one is an established top tier, most accomplished pirate yet. He was equal to the WB, the WSM/WSP even in old age. Defeated Xebec. etc
The other seemingly is setup to be an admiral.
But last we saw of his interaction with Luffy, he got no diff'd
Coby needs to prove that he is worth the benefit of doubt. Was it so hard for Oda to give him a W over Boa or a BB commander?
It isn't enough that he becomes an admiral EoS randomly out of the blue.
It's like with Smoker. Another character who has portrayal against Luffy, similar to Coby but even higher. But Oda completely butchered him in PH arc. Smoker no longer gets the benefit of the doubt now, unless proven otherwise.
We can give benefit of the doubt only to an extend.

Based on opponents, conflict, narration and portrayal coby>smoker>drake
EoS yeah.
Currently Drake > Coby/Smoker
Drake is arguably the strongest Tobiroppo.
Smoker got mid diff by Vergo, who would be on the lower end of Tobiroppo tier
Coby has nothing goin on him other than hype. Oda could've given him a W to show us otherwise, but nah, Oda didn't do that.
