Why Doflamingo Weaker than Ace?

[Hypercyber37]

This is my first post. Please forgive my ignorance if I'm doing something wrong. but I don't understand why Doflamingo isn't 5-C Ftl+ despite fighting a powered up Gear 4 Luffy long after Ace's death. because Ace is scaled to this level in your Profiles. Ace Stronger than Doflamingo and Gear 4 Luffy? (Fighting Doflamingo)

Ace scales to Old Whiteboard. Neither Gear 4 Luffy nor Doffy has anything comparable to that at that point of the story.

Are you sure? I remember Doflamingo trying to kill Ace and then being stopped by krokodile. If so, wouldn't it be lethal enough to take scale? Luffy and Ace felt like they were at pretty close speed as they ran towards Whitebeatd's ship. In Doflamingo's profile, they gave the speed scale as gear 2 instead of gear 4.

Croc stopped Doffy simply because Ace would oneshot him. Luffy and Ace aren't comparable in speed. Akainu blitzed Luffy and Ace needed to jump in the way to save him. Doffy only kept up with Gear 2 Luffy while Gear 4 blitzed him most of the time.

No. Krokodile literally saved Ace because he didn't want them to smile. Doflamingo's Attack would kill Ace and they would be happy. He struggled with Gear 4 for a very long time.

I reread Chapter 566 where Doflamingo and Crocodile clashed. Doflamingo never attempted to attack Ace. What happened was that Crocodile saved Ace's life by attacking the guards who were about to execute him, and then Doflamingo distracted Crocodile by cutting Crocodile's head off and turning his attention towards himself.

I remember Luffy protecting Ace's back many times. So I thought it would be at least close and Doflamingo would be stronger by taking the scale from Gear 4

Ace clashed with Yamato, who is superior to Jack, who is superior to Doflamingo by Kaido's words

In the OPs defense, Dressrosa Luffy>Ace was a thing in the community around the time of the arc, its just the novels and other stuff kinda retconned ace power level so he's stronger then we thought he was 10 years ago
