Well I think that against Jimbei, the shichibukai at fishman island, he has got no chance... unless he makes up some gear that allows him to fight underwater. And if he isn't the one who beats Jimbei, I bet that Usopp, the crew underdog, is the one. I know it seems unlikely, but perhaps there'll be some sort of whirlpool-of-no-escape at the island that Usopp uses to his advantage. I don't think any undersea place is complete without some sort of whirlpool.

Spoiler for manga:

Do recall that Arlong was also a fishman and Luffy, though with some difficulty due to his own lack of foresight, was able to beat him.

Just because Jinbei as an affinity to water doesn't mean he's gonna be staying in the water, that Luffy won't be able to pull him out of it, or that Luffy won't be able to attack him while Jinbei's in the water... Hell, so far with the battles involving fishman, Sanji is the only one who ever had to fight one underwater, the rest were all fought and beaten above water... you can trust that Oda will find a way for Luffy to fight him and beat him. As future pirate King, it's pretty much Luffy's job to take down the strongest oppoenents in each arc.

Also, technically, we still don't know if Jinbei really is on fishman island
