I had a brain aneurysm tryna understand this not gon lie to you
No worries, the line doesn't make sense in the first place.
But if you don't understand the joke behind it.
Saint Shanks is a swordsman who is less-skilled but stronger than the strongest swordsman.
- Saint Shanks is a swordsman. (Chapter implication)
- Saint Shanks is less-skilled than Mihawk. (Chapter statement but uses "skill" definition proposed by the fandom and not the manga)
- Saint Shanks is stronger than Mihawk. (Fan claim)
- Mihawk is the strongest swordsman. (One Piece statement)
These 4 things cannot all be true.

The correct statement: Saint Shanks is a swordsman who is weaker at swordsmanship than Mihawk, the strongest swordsman.
So for all intents and purposes, Mihawk is stronger than Saint Shanks.

No the ambiguity comes from the fact that Oda singled out Swordsmanship.

When something should be so cut and dry as

Mihawk = WSS
Saint Shanks =Swordsman

Therefore

Mihawk > Saint Shanks

Then there is zero reason to make it ambiguous by saying "Mihawk has better Swordsmanship", instead of flat out saying Mihawk is stronger.

Anyway, like I said, I don't care whose stronger. I just question the manner in which it was delivered.
Ok got you has long gas you know Saint Shanks is a Swordsman and Mihawk the strongest Swordsman
