Exactly my thoughts, also with Smoker it was not actually a fight, Hancock did the attack and it damaged Smoker that's all.

Hancock I think is on the stronger tire of the Schichibukai, she also is the only one of them to have haoshoku haki (confirmed that is).

Also Luffy P.TS was not necessarily stronger than Crocodile, just because he beat him once can't mean he is over all stronger. Against a general foe Crocodile's Logia abilty is more effective than Luffy's rubber power.

Jinbei was definitely more powerful than P.TS Luffy as even post skip they were even in the fight, albeit I think then Luffy would have won if it went on to an all out battle.
