ah where to start? Wonderweiss was getting kicked around, but he was taking no damage, look at him, he's completely fine. Whereas Harribel was holding her own against three foes, one of whom had already bested her, she had no hope. Kyorkau vs Starrk? Kyoraku is insanely strong, fast and skilled. There is no comparison between him and the two vizard captains who were beaten by Starrk. Also Kyoraku's shikai severely limited how Starrk could fight, his wolves were useless because to abide by the rules of the game he had to use his swords, thus playing into Kyoraku's superior swordsmanship.
