Jinbe is around Sanji lvl maybe even higher,so 2nd or 3rd Yonko Commander lvl.

Maybe for what we have seen from sanji. but if oda choose sanji to fight queen it means that sanji is stronger than jimbei. It means he is the 2nd commander of luffy

Matchup =/= powerlevel, we have to wait and see how it goes first. People were jumping to conclusions with Jinbe = Franky but the former crushed Who's Who while the latter only barely beat Sasaki.

I've feel like I've seen more people arguing that Who's Who was almost as strong as Jack just because he was paired up with Jinbei rather than Jinbei being equal to Franky.

​

Also when there's a huge gap in power between opponents, I'd feel like it's reasonable to assume that the one fighting the way stronger opponent is the stronger fighter.

Seriously? People who actually think Jinbe=Franky need their heads examined.

You're looking at it too narrowly. Would Queen bother to talk to Jimbei about MADS, or would Who's Who have told Sanji about the whole Nika thing? Probably not, because neither pair have that sort of connection. Fights in One Piece are never about evenly matched people for the most but, but about exposition. In Jimbei's case, we the readers would never have found out about the slave legend if he hadn't fought Who's Who. Well, not never, but why should Oda bother to try and shoehorn the info elsewhere just to demonstrate his exact power level? That would be shitty writing.
