Ah well, of course he could fulfill the admiral position just fine, he is still a monster among monsters. But I thought hungry is comparing him to the current three, and there we just have to admit that he is inferior, simply because of what we know so far. We can't tell if his element is superior to anything, or if he can apply haki to his attacks. We only know that a pre time-skip Luffy managed to land blows on him, something he couldn't do to the admirals.

It is a bit sad, but the intangibility of a logia is simply overpowered and the edge that puts them apart from most, even powerful paramecia's.

I remember a blog from a few months ago, it was about a battle between Smoker and Magellan (and who would win it). I came to the conclusion that no matter how dangerous Magellans ability is, as long as poison isn't superior to smoke there is no way he could beat Smoker. All the destructive potential of the Doku Doku no Mi means nothing when pitted against a logia.

And now couple that with the fact that admirals have to deal with the real bigshots of the new world, with ability's that can actually kill or disable you in seconds.
