Do you believe a large gap grew between them in the time between their battle and the start of the main storyline? Considering Ace's potential and him surviving numerous battles against Whitebeard and rival pirates, it's not out of the question. This is mainly something to bring into question because of scaling with post-skip Luffy. It's shown in Fishman Island he only needs Gear 2nd to rival Jimbei, yet would need Gear 4th just to compete with the Admirals as shown in Dressrosa. By comparison, most of the WB Commanders can at least put up a fight against the Admirals, so unless we were to assume Ace was far weaker than the likes of Jozu, Vista and Marco, he'd have to have made some great gains. It's definitely a possibility, considering Sabo's reached Admiral tier, but what do you think?
