It's a common mistranslation. The Japanese means roughly that Aokiji is at the level of the strongest marines. In terms of fighting ability, I would say all the Admirals are equally strong, but their personalities shape how they're perceived and how they fight; Aokiji is very lazy, while Akainu is all 'absolute justice'. I agree with Jinbe, Akainu is the most intimidating, but that doesn't make him stronger than the other Admirals.
