Well, the fake straw hats also had an info box calling them real straw hats. So you can argue that Mihawk can be a fraud as well.

Kaido doesn't have an info box because he earned his reputation otherwise. Because he was suicidal and involved himself in fights he was outnumbered and often times defeated, as the narrator said, but with people recognizing Kaido's strength. Even the marines say that Kaido is the guy who earned his fame and reputation through his individual strength alone.
It's dumb to call it "fake hype" because Kaido being the strongest is the perception people have. You could call Mihawk's title fake too, given his performance against Vista and given Marines in the novel debating who has the best swordtechniques among Mihawk, Shanks, Zoro and Vista.
