I believe Lucci is stronger than Shuzo. Lucci is certainly VA level despite his lack of mastery over haki (I believe he is capable of basic haki though).
Luffy just wasn't taking his fight with Shuzo very seriously. He was at least lower tier VA level (capable of beating certain VAs) before the gap.
