I don't believe Doflamingo would send such low tier troops to fight for something that is as valuable as the SAD. Only Caesar is able to create him SAD, therefore, he very much needs him. Anyhow, nobody that's much higher than your average fighter is going to get knocked unconscious from a burst of Haoshoku Haki, at least not Luffy's.
