@TheCrystalShip:
Who do you think will defeat Diamante? Sabo, Barto, Burgess?
It's seeming less and less likely that it will be Luffy…
well the problem is Sabo, Burgess and Dimante all have to built up
Sabo was ace's equal when they were younger and ace was WB 2nd division commander and was probably similar power level to marco and jozu (who went up against admirals)
Jesus Burgess is the 1st division commander of Black Beard and will probably be the end game villain for someone like Sanji or Jinbei and to have him beaten outright now would extremly diminish the hype for the final battle with him and other Black Beard members
And Dimante has been built up for a while and has been watching these powerhouses go at it and doesn't look worried and neither is Doflamingo, and he can't be beaten to easily again or it ruins how tough were supposed to think Trebol and Pica are
so I doubt it's gonna be an easy fight and if Burgess loses my guess is it will be from getting knocked out of bounds and it'll show him after as impressed with whoever knocked him out but not injured and showing he could still go, but my guess is he wouldn't steal the fruit unlike other BB members because he's got respect for the rules of a tournament due to his Wrestling theme
I'd still love if Burgess pile drives Dimante so far into the ground he destroys the factory below
EDIT: My bet is on sabo and Burgess taking out Dimante and knocking each other out of bounds
