Current Sabo has much better haki feats. He also clashed with Fujitora, and Fujitora + GB and still survived. He no diffed Burgess. Yes I know him and Revs fought Fuji and GB but he got separated somehow.
He's also had better training and more experience. Imo he's around pre awakened Luffy and at least equal to Zoro who is above Sanji
Now I know lots of people are going to say Sabo based on hype, but I personally see Sanji beating Sabo. People usually would say Sabo wins based on his battle with Fuji and Greenbull, but here's the problem, neither GB or Fuji were going all out against Sabo. Plus, Sabo wasn't trying to fight either GB or Fuji, he was just trying to get Kuma back. Plus, Sabo had multiple people helping him, so it wasn't just him. Sabo has overall better armament haki than Sanji due to having advanced armament haki, but I personally don't see that as an instant win due to having better haki. Zoro has overall better haki feats than current Blackbeard, but we all know who would win if Zoro and BB got into a 1v1.
We also don't know to much about Sabo's true capabilities and if he can withstand attacks from Sanji who has blue flames (said to be hotter than magma) and electricity as well, so Sanji's overall AP (attack potency) is deff higher than Sabo's. Sanji's overall durability, speed, reflexes, observation haki, hax, abilities, and strength (kicking strength) far surpasses anything Sabo has shown yet. Sabo has great armament haki, but Queen even said "nobody has ever escaped his bind, even master armament haki users." So Sanji being able to survive and beat Queen should really tell you something. People can bring up the argument "Sabo faced against Fuji during Dressorosa," well Fuji wasn't going all out, and Luffy did it as well, so its not really to impressive.
Sabo deff hasn't shown any great durability feats so far to say he can withstand Sanji's ifrit attacks. I also don't think Sabo has the reaction feats to even keep up with Sanji's insane speed even Queen with his observation haki wasn't able to keep up with Sanji. Sabo doesn't have the AP to do much damage against Sanji looking at his genetic awakening. Sanji managed to instantly repair all his broken bones and crushed organs (thanks to his insane healing factor), break Queens sword with his neck (basically saying his exoskeleton is insanely durable), and move to the point he seems invisible to the naked eye (even with observation haki, Queen wasn't able to keep up with Sanji), all after having his genetic awakening.
I don't care what anybody says, Sabo might have a nice and powerful title, but that doesn't change the fact he can't beat current Sanji. The only real thing Sabo has over Sanji is his advanced armament haki and DC (destructive capabilities). And even if that's the case, again, even if a user has stronger/better haki than you, it doesn't always mean you'll be the winner. Again, look at Blackbeard and Zoro. Zoro obviously so far has better haki the BB, but we all know BB would win if it was a battle between him and BB even if Zoro's haki is that much greater than his. People tend to say "Sanji can't damage Sabo since he's immune to fire." Honestly, people must not know Sanji has armament haki. His armament haki overall became stronger after his genetic awakening which is why he's able to endure having blue electric flames.
@ASimon24 Yeah Ik somebody would say that. Like I said in my comment, having better haki feats doesn't always mean you'll win a battle. People is out here saying Big Mom loses to Blackbeard despite Blackbeard not having great haki feats and Big Mom clearly having the superior haki feats over him. If that's the case, Luffy should have never won his battle against Kaido even if he did had help since Kaido's overall haki was much better than Luffy's since he has more experience with using advanced conquerors haki and likely is a better future sight user.
@ASimon24 Also, anybody can clash with an admiral. Luffy clashed multiple times with Fujitora during Dressrosa. Even if he wasn't going all out, its still the fact it was a clash. Fuji wasn't going all out against Sabo either. Sani right now would have done much better against Fujitora than Dressrosa Luffy.
"Zoro has overall better haki feats than current Blackbeard"
The same BB who stopped a mountain splitting slash from S-Hawk with his bare arm? no, BB's haki is way above Zoro's
What do you think?
