Winning Strategy Popeye: Bear hug Luffy and jump into the ocean. Wait until he's out of breath.
Luffy: Change the battlefield elsewhere. Then wait for Popeye to run out of breath before using any finishing move.
Explanation: Luffy's body is composed of rubber. Popeye's power is purely based on kinetic destruction. And against a body which can bounced back a cannon, Popeye's attack would be nothing in comparison.
Yet that superior body is not without flaw. As sea is Luffy's weakness, Popeye (the sailorman) probably has the biggest chance to defeat Luffy on board surrounded by the sea.
Change the scene in a city / somewhere on mountain and Luffy will definitely win.

Popeye doesn't need logic at all to defeat his opponents. He can just launch luffy to the sky like rubber bands if he wanted to.
