Here's how I see it:

Luffy vs. Blackbeard (fairly obvious)

Zoro vs Shiliew (Since Shiliew is the only confirmed swordsman in the BB pirates, he's almost certainly going to fight Zoro. Also, he's probably the 2nd strongest BB pirate, as he was supposedly on the same level as Magellan)

Brook vs Laffite (these two seem to be basically meant for each other. They share the same kind of creepy vibe, are both highly agile, and Laffite seems to be a fencer.  Brook’s also probably the only straw-hat immune to Hypnosis)

Nami vs Doc Q (basically I don't think Nami can hold her own against anyone else in BBs crew. Also, Doc is probably the least physical fighter in the BB pirates after van auger and he probably fights with chemicals or machines or something else like it.  Brains vs Brains)

Usopp vs van Auger (Sniper vs Sniper)

Robin vs San Juan Wolf (Seeing as Robin's new post-skip abilities seem to let her use giant limbs, she's probably the best suited to take on the Colossal Battleship. I don’t think anyone else can really compare with the guy, unless Chopper’s Monster Point has gotten about a hundred times bigger)

Chopper vs Jesus Burgess (Maybe it’s just me, but Jesus Burgess doesn't seem like a very strong BB, and seems at around Chopper's relative level. Also, I think Burgess wrestling Monster Point Chopper would look AWESOME)

Sanji vs Vasco Shot (This one is because in the latest episode in the anime, Vasco got paired up with Lucky Roo in the BB's standoff with the Red Haired pirates, and therefore implies he's the 3rd strongest member of the BBs. Also, he looks the most likely to fight with something close to regular martial arts like most of Sanji's other opponents so far)

Franky vs Pizzaro (this is the one i'm least confident in, mostly because Pizzaro seems to have chain guns on his arms, and Franky's the most bullet-proof straw hat after Luffy. Pizzaro also might be part cyborg too, which would make for an interesting fight)

That leaves Caterina Devon vs whoever is the next Straw hat, though she might wind up fighting one of the current Straw Hats if the next Straw hat is a better match to one of the above. Though I'm willing to bet at least some of the above fights will be paired up into 2-on-2s.

Thoughts?
