Well, consider people like Shanks, Akainu, Kizaru, etc. They are relatively young. But the reason the younger guys are "not as strong" is not because they are weaker, but they lack experience. The older you get, the more experience you get, and the better you get at battles. Therefore, the older gen is definitely going to be better.
