Yes, but usopp could barely walk in the fight against luffy. If you didn't notice, he had gotten messed up pretty badly by frankys men before the fight, and you could notice he had difficulty breathing just from shooting his weapon. He also didn't have the stage "set up", he had bought weapons, and used his brain, knowing how luffy fights. I think Usopp excels greatly at battle strategy. Lets put it this way, Usopp can be strong WHEN he wants to, and I'm sure he would have done even better if he wasn't nearly crippled. Notice how he just stood there while luffy was about to hit him a second time? He had 0 stamina, he knew he couldn't possibly dodge it.
