@WHITEBEARD:
Ace is strong but not a Big Timer.
Mid-tier and The Big Timers are two diff things. If you think Mid-tier and Big Timers are the samething the mid-tier fighter ends up like this.

Big Tmers vs Mid-tier.
There 6 Big timer above Ace just wait till we see them all.
(Wonder how many will be above him when we see them all?)
No, the result of the match doesn't decide that Ace is mid tier.
To be mid-tier, you have to be in the middle…of the tier.
Since this "tier" is so large, by default Ace isn't mid tier. He's a top quality fighter, hence why BB beating Ace was a big deal. You can't compare him to Whitebeard and say he's mid-tier, cause Whitebeard is on top of the tier.
However, Ace is comparable to Aokiji, and probably some admirals and shichibuaki too. Maybe one yonkou too, but that's a stretch. Hey, Mihawk and the shichibukai seem to live in the New world easier enough, so the all yonkou don't need to be that strong,
I mean, saying that Aokiji would win could of experience is...uncertain logic. Ace has experience too, and has attacks that can definitely melt ice.
The point is, Ace is pretty strong. BB is stronger, and so are a few other guys, but...middle tier?
As for Smoker, he's strong too. But it's tough to compare logia's period. We can't really say who'd win against each other. Element advantage's aren't certain, cause when you think about it, if you have more of one element that will always win. The "pokemon system" of element advantage is a myth.
And let's quit classifying people. It's retarded. Crocodile is a shichibukai, but without people like him "shichibukai" wouldn't mean a damn thing.
What the hell does, Big timer, mean WHITEBEARD? Ace is a big timer compared to a lot of people. A member of Whitebeard's crew alone could be considered a big timer.
It's just a needless classification of people. And frankly, it seems like an unfair way to call Ace weak just cause he lost. BB could be as strong as Whitebeard now for all we know. And really...we know nothing about this series. It's cryptic on purpose.
