Well here's the idea, just having haki does not make you god, if that did then all the vice admirals would have been tougher than most shichibukai which they are clearly not. Also Blackbeard is a bit precarious, I mean he fought Whitebeard (although dieing, he was no push over) and he along with his crew fought Sengoku and Garp and threatened to destroy Marineford where Akainu, Kizaru and Aokiji was present. However he fled from Akainu. Is that not contradictory? If his crew can take on Sengoku and Garp together, then alone Akainu should be no match for the BB pirates. I think he flew because he was not in the mood to go into a huge scale battle or in other words he was not desperate enough. Now, Magellan was defeated by some unknown people after Luffy left Impel Down, most likely those people were the BB pirates and also the other level six prisoners. He was hugely out numbered. So just that one defeat does not mean he s weak.
