I love how everyone seems to skip over the fact that I clearly said, "NOT SAYING HE CAN'T,...". No shit Sanji can probably win the fight when he REALLY applies himself, but I will say it again.....IT'S REALLY NOT LOOKING GOOD. That's not "talking smack" for fucks sake. I'm just as big a fanboy of Sanji as I am of Zoro, but there's no denying how much cooler Oda has gone out of his way to make Zoro look compared to Sanji, even when we know how relatively close they supposedly are in strength....

- Leg cracked against Vergo (makes his Kenbunshoku haki feats in Punk Hazard almost negligible)

- Owned by Doflamingo, then immediately left Dressrosa (no one expected him to beat Mingo, but his fodder fights were negligible, with his only other notable accomplishment again being his observation haki with the sniper)

- Had help from Brook taking down Sheepshead

- Bad ass attitude he showed under Bege's watch is undermined by the fact that he knew they couldn't really touch him

- Bullied by his family all his life, yet can't really cut loose and kick all their asses because of Zeff and the Wedding. He's also playing the "bigger man" angle, and doesn't seem to actually care too much about making them pay

- Sonned Bobbin, but Bobbin was not expecting to get hit, and then Bobbin gets put down by offscreen fodder thugs.

I don't really give a damn what the excuses are during this wedding, who he's looking after, or what his other goals are. Oda could have thrown us a bone SOMEWHERE. Dodging bullets from Katakuri and epic tell-off to his dad are nice and all, but they don't really stack up all that well when all we REALLY want from Sanji is to see him kicking some real, meaningful ass. After all the "Year of Sanji" hype, and 2-ish years of the guy not even appearing in the manga at all, most people would assume we were in for something really big from Sanji in a combat perspective. STILL hasn't happened, and probably won't this arc. I'm not saying Sanji needs to beat Daifuku, or any of the other big name children for my cynicism to be placated, but would it kill Oda to at least have him win a clash of some sort? Or God forbid, actually do something that wows us from a strength perspective?

Oh, and to the Fandom that posted the Zoro/Carrot clash, since when does getting fucking electrocuted as a normal human being and being prepared to continue the fight unfazed count as a "struggling"? GTFOH.
