If someone exceeds your expectations and you’re surprised it doesn’t mean you’re incapable of replicating that feat. It means it’s impressive regardless. Either way I’m not arguing against Zoro having crazy endurance here. I’m arguing that you could put Law and Kid around their level especially Kid
Well, it's not always the case but it does mean exactly that in this context because Zoro blocked an attack that none of the Rooftopnova could even think of opposing. Law and Zoro are peers of the same caliber regardless of who's better than who and Zoro actually boasts better physical stats than Law. And, Law, being a skilled swordsman himself, should understand that better than anyone else. When you're shocked that someone physically more imposing than you could pull something off, then it obviously means that you too aren't capable of pulling it off.
In contrast, Law didn't even bother acknowledging the damage Kid's taking during Big Mom's fight. He's actually mocking Kid for being a dead weight because he knows the damage he was taking is containable for someone of his level.
Luffy took damage, was saved by Law’s crew, was given a TON of meat and time to rest that Law and Kid didn’t get.
Luffy and Zoro factually took much more damage, period. That's why they're on the death door while Law and Kid are relatively fine in comparison. I am not even sure why people would even try to deny it. Your own argument totally goes against, what you're saying. You're trying to imply they took similar amounts of damage and you're saying they're all on the same level in terms of endurance, then how is it Luffy and Zoro are still in need of emergency medical care while Law and Kid can stand there and celebrate Luffy's victory?
Yes, one Thunder Bagua put Law on his ass after he had already taken damage from other attacks. You wanna know who else got floored by a single attack from Kaido? Luffy, who got knocked out by Ragnarok and saw stars for a whole chapter. What happened to his endurance there? Aren’t Luffy and Zoro on a whole other level?
Law did take some damage during the off-panel battle, as did every other Rooftopnova and he took one regular swing from Kaido while guarding himself with Curtain, and then he took Thunder Bagua to the gut and was put on the ground for a bit. Ragnarock is a substantially more powerful attack than Thunder Bagua, and Luffy went on to withstand both TB as well as Ragnarock, although a weaker version, during the latter half of the battle. Guess who remained completely conscious after taking TB besides Law? Zoro with more than 30 broken bones.
Which one do you think is more impressive? Law getting on the ground from one named attack or Zoro regaining consciousness from taking the same attack while being on the verge of death?
He did not take as much as Luffy (who got to eat and rest) yes, and didn’t take as much damage as Zoro who doesn’t have a fruit awakening that actively drains his stamina.
When did Zoro use excessive Haki? That was never pointed out.
If you’re talking about during the King fight then Zoro at that point had taken much much less damage than Law let alone Kid. It all adds up
Luffy already had a chance to rest and eat by that point
Zoro's been using excessive Haki since the beginning of Rooftop. That's what Enma does—Haki drain was literally threatening his life. Zoro took less damage from King than Kid and Law did against Big Mom but the overall damage accumulated comes back to Zoro as soon as the drug's effect disappears, and it did come back to him after King's fight.

as impressive it is to tank Hakai for a second, it is an by non hybrid Kaido and non bigger mum. Both were on their base, needed no preparation and didn’t suffered from any sign of effort.
Keeping that in mind, I don’t how Hakai shall be stronger then their all out attacks, which were straight up taken by Luffy and Kid.
Becoming hybrid and going bigger mum pushed both a lot and they showed a lot of effort in their attacks later, which simply shows these attacks are above Hakai.
endurance and Defence:
Kid>Luffy>Zoro=>Law
Kid lacks AP for now, but his Defence and endurance is yonko level, period.
The "for a second" part of Kid's dialogue was a figure of speech. It's like how we say, "Gimme a second," in the real world. Zoro withstood it for longer than a second. And neither Bigger Mom nor Drunken Kaido grew so exponentially stronger than they can individually produce attacks stronger than Hybrid Kaido and Big Mom combined. I mean, Bigger Mom is stronger than Big Mom but she's not so much stronger that she can beat Hybrid Kaido and Big Mom from Chapter-1009. Bigger Mom couldn't even beat Kid and Law, forget about Big Mom and Hybrid Kaido.
No offense but Big Mom's ultimate attack is a joke compared to Hakai. Both Law and Kid took her ultimate attack and were relatively fine while Hakai would've wiped out all five Rooftopnova if it hit. Hakai is by far the strongest attack in the series barring Bajrang Gun.
