Nope, I perfectly know what Ren is and have never intended to mention it, there must be a misunderstanding somewhere. Seems to me there are three main points we don't agree on (too bad we are always on opposing sides, but we wouldn't be discussing otherwise, and it would be a pity):

-first, Leorio's strength: physically-wise, Leorio was stronger than Kurapika and Gon (there are differencies between the 1999 and 2011 anime regarding the doors opened). Nen makes you stronger, but it also relevant your degree of brawn when you use it. For example, Shizuku, while not using Nen and with her weak hand, was nearly as strong as Gon, who is an Enhancer and at the time was using Nen. That is why I am saying that physical strength matters.

-secondly, Leorio's growth: he was weak as heck in the prevvious arcs, granted, but the only reason behind it was that he was not training in Nen properly. On the other hand, the fact that he came up with two Hatsu techniques that earned Ging's praise while studying medicine shows he has grown much better at it, so it makes only sense that his overall abilities have increased, too. You said that Leorio is not a real fighter, but we don't know because he has never gotten a chance to fight. However, Gon was just like him, having no combat experience and yet revealing himself as a more than just capable brawler. Netero estimated Leorio to be decent at fighting. And lastly, he was accepted into the Zodiacs and is currently going to journey to the Dark Continent.

-lastly, there has been another little misunderstanding: I have realized we agree that Leorio would lose to Shizuku, only I do believe he could briefly fight on par with her, for the reasons I have already explained in this and other comments.
