I think it was implied that Ikkaku's stronger. Wasn't Renji begging Ikkaku to fill a captain spot because he was the only one close?

[Mephisto]

Ikkaku would win, imo.

[byakuya17]

If I recall Ikkaku and Renji had a sparing match at some point. I think it was a flashback. Ikkaku was owning him in the spar. So based on that and the fights they've been in, I would have to give it to Ikkaku.

well, Renji gave ichigo a harder time then ikkaku did, and while it's true ikkaku didnt use bankai, renji didnt even have one at the time. Also if you consider the match ups, renji has a range advantage in both shikai and bankai.

I dunno though, as stated above, it definitely is implied that renji thinks ikkaku is stronger (this is probably partly because ikkaku trained him) either way I think it would be pretty close.

also after the time skip, renji seems closer to captains level, imo. he defeated his enemy with a lot more ease then ikkaku and over all just seemed to have a stronger presense after the time skip. well, we'll have to wait for more support though.

I chose Renji. His bankai is cooler than Ikaku's.

[Mreaper]

Well, Renji is one rank over Ikkaku, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
In an all-out match, I think Ikkaku would win(he's had his bankai for ages longer after all), but it's hard to say since we've seen nothing of Renji's new abilities post-timeskip.

[Blackmanba]

Renji, because of Ikkaku's I don't want to leave the eleventh squad so I won't use my bankai attitude.

[Stone-Free]

Ikkaku definitely has more raw power but all in all i'd say Renji would take this because of his range, scheme and variety.

For some reason this fight does not hold interest for me but if I had to guess probably Renji
