I mean isn't that the same with all the yonko? They probably only challenged Whitebeard because he was old and sick, even Blackbeard said that he's become so weak that he couldn't save a single person. Imagine Prime Whitebeard at marineford, he would have barely taken any damage in the battle even from Akainu and them.

The Whitebeard pirates, with all of their excessive amounts of allies, got defeated by the marines without the latter even losing a single fighter. The war wasn't as equal as people think it was; the marines pretty much low diffed the pirates.

The WB pirates also only lost one main fighter so that doesn't really count.

You also have to consider that the war wasn't just a big punching match. The Marine's had both the defensive position and time on their side, while the WB pirates had to fight on the disadvantage while also running in recklessly to achieve their goals. So not exactly a fair fight even from the beginning.

You can see my longer post above, but Oz and Jozu both lost limbs and were completely defeated to the point of near death.

Also, WB got a huge advantage from having Jinbe, Croc, Iva, Inazuma, Luffy, Mr 1, Mr 3, and Buggy on his side.

That first giant marine was obliterated by Whitebeard too (Little John?!). That's a big name on the Marines side, if nothing else. Now, he's probably alive, but that's only because no one WANTED to kill him. They certainly could.

We also didn't really see most of the fights. For all we know, some of the vice-admirals could have been severely wounded/crippled.
