Just because akainu beat aokiji doesn't mean akainu is stronger. lava melts ice but ice cools lava into rock hence due to their df abilities, akainu doesn't really need haki to do damage as he exploits aokiji's natural element. considering the length of the battle and damage aokiji gave akainu, it is really likely against a neutral opponent aokiji will perform better.
