Agreed. Seeing a stalemate could be very intersting, but I am guessing that she will not really fight Smoker. Or, if she does, it will finally be confirmed that she cannot control her King's Haki, so she cannot hurt a Logia-user as much as someone like Rayleigh could (or something else to power her down and allow neither to beat the other).

Becasue he can still deal with 99% of the world's pirates (etc). Just cause he can't defeat the Top 1% (which is likely about 20 people in the entire One Piece universe) does not mean he does not deserve his position (if that was the case, none of the Shichibukai or Admirals would deserve their position considring there are so many strong pirates/revolutionaries out there). Being the strongest is not all there is to being a Shichinukai (it's good if they are, but not necessary when applying for the job).
