User blog comment:Avery D. North/Stalemate. Luffy meets his match.../@comment-24850639-20151228222256

Well when you put it all in perspective, Lucci is just about the only oponent who actually fought Luffy fist-to-fist from start to finish. Everyone else has relied WAYYY to heavily on a Devil Fruit or some kind of natural ability that they have. Sure Luffy and Lucci have devil fruits too, but the Gomu Gomu No Mi didn't MAKE Luffy capable of destroying to 2 buildings with pure force while he was stuck between them, or strong enough to swing a GIANT like a ragdoll. We know all of the CP9 acquired they're superhuman like abilities from the training alone, so the Neko Neko no Mi was just a boost. Mingo relied more on his strings than his abilities as a fighter, Caesar his gas, Hordy the energy steroids. Moriah his shadows, Enel his lightning, Crocodile his sand, Krieg his armor, etc.

So what you're asking, is will there be another Lucci quality fight, but this time without the pressure of a race against time? I don't honestly think so, unless like Kaido said, Oda skips multiple hours at a time. His fight with a Yonko or one of the admirals could be like that, but its hard to say without knowing the actual context of when Luffy will fight these people. Its just funny that people are making that comparison, as the exact opposite appears to be the case with Zoro, and Brook even said it himself. Mr. 1 was actually stronger than Zoro when their fight began,  and it lasted all of 3 episodes. Ryuuma vs. Zoro wasn't very long either. And yet, Pica, who was CLEARLY no match for Zoro EVER (which Zoro also said himself lol) was probably the longest fight in the manga to date. Go figure.
