I see it differently, the marines are really not all that great. When facing figures like the Shichibukai, all soldiers up to (and including) vice admirals are...wait for it... cannonfodder. Especially Momonga, but that is another story.

Anyway, I don't know about Kuma at the moment, but before his transformation he was basically god. Not even the strongest logia can stand up against the ability to repel everything. Hancocks's and Moria's abilities are fantastic against huge armies - the former disables them and the latter can completely turn the tables by reviving the dead. Mihawk, Doflamingo & Jinbe, on the other hand, are exceptionally skilled in one-on-one combat. What do you want more?

The only reason that the marines are not annihilated by now is Sengoku/Garp, the admirals and...yeah...and?

By the way, Jinbe never fought Akainu seriously. In both clashes his priority was to soak the attacks that were meant to hurt Luffy (and he did it well, stopping a full blast with his bare hands). Aokiji freezing the environment to Akainu's favor didn't help him as well. I admit that he would probably loose even in a fair battle, but not without putting up a proper fight.
