Don't forget that even Monkey D Garp, who was considered for the position of Admiral several times and is one of the strongest figures in the marines was considerably hurt when a Jet Pistol hit him, Luffy's gear two attacks are really powerful. Marshal D. Teach aka Blackbeard is certainly one tough customer an he was also damaged by a Jet Pistol which is weaker than a Jet Bazooka. In case of Mihawk, it never hit him and Mihawk is a swordsman who can cut the arms, that's just common logic. Crocodile was not hist by any gear 2 attack so the comparison is irrelevant, as for the admirals, they were never hit by any of Luffy's attack, mostly because they are Logia and also Luffy generally avoided them. So just being hit and damaged by a Jet Bazooka does not prove that Magellan is physically weaker than the Admirals. Also just the fact that he never used haki does not mean he don't have it. Aokiji and Kizaru also never used haki except when blocking Whitebeard's shock wave, they relied normally on their fruit powers. The same thing could be true for Magellan. As for physical strength, the fact that he could pin down Ace with just one hand proves that he has great physical strength.
