Hisoka always surprises us with his new techniques and countermeasures; his fight with Kastro, Gotoh, Bushidora (why didn't they show the fight? Maybe he used a new power) and his game with Razor. He always seems to be just enjoying his battles, and not fighting hard. We learned from Election Arc that Hisoka can assess his opponents' power, yet, he wanted to fight Netero, Ging and Chrollo! Also... although Illumi knew that the King was strong enough to resort to miniature rose, he said to Hisoka that he could have choosen between fighting Netero and the King, which means that Illumi thought Hisoka could have a chance in defeating Netero or the King. I think Hisoka used just the right aura for his opponents, and not all-out.

Yes, from what we have seen, Pitou is much stronger than Hisoka, but there are several indications that Hisoka is stronger than what we have seen. And ,in general, judging alive characters from only what we have seen can be unfair. Consider this example: Who has the strongest power judging from what we have seen? Feitan or Chrollo? Obviously Feitan. Is Feitan stronger than Chrollo? Certainly not.

Verdict: Given the "way" Hisoka is potrayed in the anime, there is a fair chance for Hisoka to defeat Pitou.
