Yeah sure age has turn with all this, but also his power, he has ultimately mastered the tremo fruit power... what can I say more then that ...

The best thing with Marco he can heal himself easy ...

I don't think a tiny flesh would like that would stop whitebeard. 

I think his age has more to do with it than anything else.  Plus he's off all of his medical machinery and what not. 

He's an old man who's endured a lot of bodily stress throughout his lifetime.  You can be damned sure the stab complimented the above mentioned but it's not the defining issue. 

My two cents / observations.

As far as Marco goes, I'd say he's at the very least on relatively equal footing with an admiral, although there is currently no clear cut winner. 

We can't make any speculations beyond that given the info available.

I will however say it isn't impossible for him to be stronger then an admiral, if only by a little tiny bit.  But again, at this point we can't know.

he is also as fast as kizaru  the  dude who ate the lite lite fruit  that can travel at the speed of light  making all the funny noises, he is extremely strong physical str wise  he kicks  2 of the admrials  and sends them flying, not to mention the dude can fly and heal him self  and use fire  he can use haki

There is no doubt in my mind he is stronger then white beard at this moment in time  10-15 years ago  na white beard would destroy him. how many 78 year old men so you know that can compete with 20-30 year old men  ?  Whitebeard was considered old during the peak of Gol D Roger  now he is ancient

whitebeard was clearly stabbed through the center of his chest right out the back, how is that a flesh wound?
he was already weaker at the start, i will agree with that. he has gotten too relaxed and soft, hes gone too long w/o combat and risking his life.

Quote (Whitebeard @ Nov 15 2010 11:21pm)

I bet Whitebeard would still be a beast with half his head gone.

Quote (Black487 @ Nov 15 2010 10:15pm)

When did he demonstrate haki?

And we just aren't sure what would happen if Marco fought whitebeard. We can't say he's most likely stronger, at least I wouldn't say so.



Potential spoiler below:

I'm pulling my evidence from the manga. It's not a direct spoiler so don't worry.

But 1 puny stab isn't enough to knock out whitebeard, no sir.

Age is the primary factor here, merely complimented by a wound.

he kicked a logia user.
isn't that demonstrating haki?

sigh... too bad white beard is dead

No. 

We've seen logia's caught off guard get hit by normal, unintentional physical attacks.    There's evidence to suggest they need to consciously activate their ability.

Luffy is dead too.  Meanwhile Usopp kills all three admirals in a fit of rage. 

Oh & Chopper becomes the new hero of the show.
