Marineford in general is a huge mess when it comes to measure the power levels of the characters. I get that the general idea of that arc is that Luffy is weak in comparison with the average Joe that comes from the New World, but the fights in that arc are chaotic; you can never state that someone is more powerful than some other one because in most cases they are either not taking it seriously or affected by an external something.
On the other hand and on topic. There are many things that we still don't know about the characters. But in general the series tends to point at the Yonkou as the strongest in the One Piece world. So I have to assume that Shanks, Big Mom, Kaido and now Blackbeard are the top tiers. However the position of the Admirals is pretty ambiguous in that regard. We don't know if they can fight like equals or just serve as a power source that combined with others keeps the balance. The only reference we have for this is, again, the Marineford mess.
