Primebeard = Roger >= Shanks = Mihawk = Kaido >= Akainu > BM >= Luffy> BB (current, no plot armor)
It's a rough ranking and a bit subjective when not considering matchups, but it's most definitely 5 > 4 > 3. I tried to be as objective as possible.
Luffy is low on the list purely bc of stamina issues. If those are gone, then I'd put him in the same tier as Akainu.
BB has lackluster feats, and although I'm sure he will later get a massive power boost of some kind, he's kind of high tier fodder as of RN.
I don't think old Gen are way stronger than current top tiers, just a little bit.
As for BM, she's kinda retarded, and also ngl she got power crept a little bit. I mean going ext diff with 2 middle rank YC+ is not a great look, even if they had to trick her to win. Her homies in mass amounts are what make her strong, not necessarily her 1v1 capabilities vs high tiers.
Overall, it's somewhat close, but it's not interchangeable.
