As i said in my previous post,hitsugaya was the best counter for harribel.Nothing more,nothing less.Because of his age,hitsugaya has no good intellect in battles,and his strength is poor.Could Hitsugaya stand the Garra De La Pantera without problems as ichigo did?I don't think so.And when he fights,hitsugaya is usually just rushing to his opponent,and he is taking a position,when he is going to release a zanpakuto technique.Also,Hitsugaya often tells his opponent about what his technique or his zanpakuto does.Considering these facts,Grimmjow can easily understand when hitsugaya is going to attack,and he has enough time to defend effectively.In addition,Grimmjow can cast suprise attacks(cero) in dead time,for example when hitsugaya rushes to do an attack.

I think that you overestimate sui feng and her speed.Grimmjow is a very pacey espada,and he could outpace tensa zangetsu with ease. On the other hand,sui feng was outpaced by a Fraccion(Ggio Vega),and vega would have killed her,if Oomaeda did not appeared.I am not calling sui feng slow,but not as fast as you say her. Maybe with Shunko that would change,but we do not know that.

Komamura has a bankai which has great strength and attack power,but it is very slow,and Komamura receives the damage that Kokujo Tengen Myou-ou receives.Considering these facts,Grimmjow's Desgarron allows grimmjow not only to block komamura's zanpakuto,but allows grimmjow to cast an attack to komamura.

Zommari's ability was good,but it could be beaten by long-range attacks.A sennen hyoro for example,could cast some serious damage to zommari. Yamamoto was renowned as the strongest Shinigami for a reason. Even while Yamamoto is in shikai, there are only a few people who can hope to keep up with him. Ulquiorra, in all forms, is not one of them.

To be honest, my original statement was I strongly doubted Grimmjow could beat any of the Captains "easily". Of the lot, Suì-Fēng would present the biggest threat due to Nigeki Kessatsu; like I said, all she needs is two strikes and he's as good as dead. Like Stefan said, it was clear from the way she killed Ggio that she wasn't fighting at her best. It has been noted that she is one of the fastest (if not the fastest) Captains in the Gotei. Suì-Fēng would probably defeat Grimmjow more times than she would lose. Hitsugaya presents the next biggest threat due to the many ways he can utilize Hyōrinmaru. And uh, a lot of characters assume positions when they ready a technique (Getsuga Tenshō ?) so that point is a bit null. Also it's been show multiple times that Hitsugaya is an analytic combatant. I think he probably could take a few Garra de la Pantera and carry on fighting in the. I now ask, could Grimmjow survive Hyōten Hyakkasō ? Here it could go either way, although my money would lean more towards Hitsugaya due to his better ingenuity. Finally we have Komamura. His bankai is only as slow as he is (and he's been seen to move fast when he needs to) but he makes up for his relatively slower physical speed with his great reactions, not to mention he is like a tank and can take a lot of damage before he goes down. In addition, Komamura's bankai has one of the highest attack powers of all zanpakutō; Desgarron would not be able to withstand a strike from it. Grimmjow may possibly be able to defeat Komamura but it would be far from an easy victory.

Where does it say Zommari's special ability could be beaten by a long-range attack ? Nowhere. If his eyes can gaze upon it, it is susceptible to Amor. So unless Zommari had bad eyesight, your point isn't too valid. Sennen Hyōrō takes a considerable time to prepare; Hitsugaya would probably get hit by Amor before it would be ready to attack with.
