He is indeed very powerfull. I would put him above Crocodile (Enel's stronger logia and mantra are the reasons for this) Crocodile lacks haki completely (and from his reaction to Luffy's blood working to disable his logia ability show that he might not have even known about it). There is no way he could possibly beat an admiral. First: he has no known way to damage them (unless his DF is 'Superior' as Akainu's was to Ace's). Enel only has Kenbunshoku Haki, this and his physical power were not enough to beat Luffy before he acquired his gears. Against an admiral, who has Busoshoku Haki, and who is most likely immune to Enel's lightning attacks, could destroy him easily. However, against a non-logia, non-haki person, Enel will win almost (Luffy) every time.
