unless a supernova has a way to damage Smoker, they will certainly lose. Without his devilfruit, he may be around supernova strength before the time skip. After the timeskip, if he has gotten haki, he is definitely vice admiral level, perhaps he is even a new Admiral (assuming one of the current ones was promoted). But, in my opinion, he will behave more like Garp did and refuse promotions at a certain point, because then he connot chase after Luffy as much as he wants to.
