If Luffy had won the fight using the stolen powers, I would completely agree with you. Instead, he simply staggered Moria, allowing a brief respite in the fight, which then allowed Luffy and company to defeat Odz (which was the whole intention of giving Luffy the brief power-up in the first place - to battle the weapon called Odz). But, in the end, Luffy without any power-ups fought a Moria who was a 1000 time stronger, and won (it was your interpretation of the ending that I was questioning more than anything else). The amount of damage to Moria pre-power up is unknown, but considering that Luffy has knocked out opponents before, only for them to come back even stronger (Lucci), the info is only partially relevant (i.e. it is not a determiner in regards to the fight (or at least it isn't for me)).
