outside the box perspective as always, eh old friend? XD In the case of BenB, I always see him as the younger version of Rayleigh. It will makes more sense if you look at Roger, Shanks and Luffy as 3 spins in the "circle of life". Roger concurred the grand line and after his death Shanks began walking down the path his former captain laid. Along the way he may have passed the torch to Luffy, however, Shanks is still trying to be the next Gold Roger or something similar. So his crew-mates are also built to shine like Roger's crew did. Fans are quick to find similarities between Zoro and Rayleigh nitpicking small details but its easier to find similarities between BenB and Rayleigh. with the limited info available regarding BenB, its clear that BenB is strong, smart and level-headed like Rayleigh. So, I believe that if Rayleigh was the strongest commander during his era, then so is BenB during his era.
