I agree with Pacifista, I saw some people saying that Luffy could take on an Admiral. I mean I'm sure he could kick his old self's butt, but he's only had two years to practice with Haki while the Admirals and Yonkos, supposedly, have had a majority of their lives to do so. Now I can't really speculate on Doflamingo's powers because I don't even know how they work really, but it seems like he is one powerful man from what we've all seen. Basically I think Luffy has a long way to go, maybe decades, before he can think about actually beating one of them.
