It was pretty evident that Mihawk had little to no interest in the war though. This whole misconception with him vs Vista is honestly tiring to see over and over again, Mihawk likes to prolong and savor a fight, he has done this since the first time we saw him and his reasoning?
If he did this against East Blue Zoro, what makes you think it would be in his interests to take out commanders of WB right away when he didn’t really care about the war. Even in the fight vs Vista, he was analyzing his fighting style and Vista was surprised to hear that Mihawk even knew of him. Seems more like a dude tryna kill boredom rather than him not being capable of mid diffing YCs.
There’s no way Mihawk is the WSS and hasn’t beaten one good swordsmen along the way, denying that is basically denying his renowned title. Which would be a fallacy. His fights against Shanks is all the evidence you need that he is indeed a top tier, dueling against Shanks and the impact their clashes had on the world was pretty evident. And again he is the WSS, above Shanks (who’s a swordsman) and Fujitora who’s straight up called a swordsman
The reason why Mihawk doesn’t fight top tier swordsman could have already been revealed in the vivre cards, iirc when it says that he’s waiting for someone to surpass his rival (Shanks) to challenge him, and that is going to end up being Zoro. But nonetheless, denying Mihawk is a top tier is honestly ridiculous at this point, if Fujitora is a top tier and Mihawk is above him via virtue of his title, then it cannot be disputed.
