What do you make of Luffy getting Old Rayleigh as a teacher for the time skip whereas Zoro gets Mihawk? Does this imply Old Rayleigh > Mihawk? I don't see why Oda would give Luffy the weaker teacher.

@Jiihad was interested in the topic too.
Seriously?
This is one of the reasons why I can't really place EoS Zoro above or equal to Prime Rayleigh.
Zoro's : milestone/opponent/master/goal/rival will always be below Luffy's.
If we look their feats and portrayal, The respect Rayleigh got, no warlord has received that.
Another thing is CoC! Oda has been tying every CoC user to Luffy! Even if that person is out of prime or dead.
Luffy gets to battle/surpass conquerors while Zoro fight normal strong dudes.
I'm 100 % sure that Prime Rayleigh is above Mihawk.
99% sure that Old Rayleigh is equal to Mihawk
51% sure Old Rayleigh is slightly above.
Masters :
Prime Rayleigh > Old Rayleigh >= or ~ Mihawk > Iva
Opponents :
Luffy opponents are always stronger :
....
Doffy > Pica
Kaido/BM > anyone Zoro will ever fight
Teach > Shiryu/Burgess
Akainu > Fuji
Goal :
PK>WSS
Milestones :
Croco > Mr 1
Lucci > Kaku
Katakuri > King/Shiryu or whoever Zoro gets to surpass/fight as non top tier milestone
Shanks > Posthawk
Roger > Ryuma
People portrayed with :
Pirate : Kidd > Law
Marine : EoS Coby > EoS helmeppo
PUs :
Pre TS : G2/3 > Ashura
Nightmare luffy > Zoro with Shishui
G4 > Ashura or Enma
G4 + advanced haki > Zoro with Enma + Ashura
Luffy is set to surpass Yonko and admirals while Zoro is set to surpass Mihawk who is admiral level at best.
