The Impel Down Prisoners shouldn't count, each of them were defeated in the Impel Down arc, by mid-high tier characters. The Shichibukai, while having extraordinary strength, have varying levels of power. Moria was defeated by Luffy and Jinbe, and was considered too weak, while it appears Doflamingo or Boa Hancock are powerful, it's doubtful that they can take on anyone on the list.
