Bear in mind most Mihawk downplayers are Zoro haters, so playing down the individual Zoro needs to overcome is another way of making Zoro look like a scrub with low level ambition. (Same Zoro who apparently is the new world's strongest swordsman, who has just unlocked Advanced Conqueror's Haki and since Mihawk has never shown Haki feats despite a flashback showing him teach Zoro about haki, we should all assume Mihawk doesn't know haki, or that his haki mastery is sub par and that his clashes with Shanks were probably when they were both kids fighting with wooden swords...the logic is baffling).
Break Week Would Mihawk kneel before Shanks like Aramaki did?
- Thread starter Definitivo

Their duels never excited whitebeard. This is one of the biggest mihawk fan history revisions.
Whitebeard asks shanks if he still travels with red nose (buggy). Shanks tells him he heard "rumor" he was still a pirate. Then whitebeard speaks about how quickly time passes in the blink of an eye, many consider it legend. He says even shanks duel with mihawk is still new to him.
Hes talking about how the passage if time can turn fact into fiction. But for the old, that distant past seems like it was just yesterday. The word "legend" is used like "legend of the loch ness monster". Like a rumor.
The anime also gives a similar translation.

Why does the level they were at at that time even matter? It’s clear that both have grown and thus as Mihawk’s rival of sorts, he simply wouldn’t kneel to Shanks’ haki. What is so hard to understand I don’t get it lol. Maybe the time I’ve spent away from these discussions got me outta the loop on the good side tho, couldn’t be any clearer.
Mihawk reaction to Shanks haki.
What are you even talking about lol, 22 years ain't that long.
Let me break it down for you
These 22 years = 22 years after Roger died
Mihawk and Shanks duels in that 22 years
Whitebeard considered that 22 years time a legend
He said "even your duel" after = he considered in also a part of that legend
So their duel, was considered by Whitebeard, as a legend, and its subjective is legendary.
So, their duel, is legendary, and it pipes WB's interest

He said "many consider it a legend" its right there in the panel. Read it.
The issue is, you dont know what "legend" means. Hes saying that wheras many cant confirm that it happened (the literal definition of "legend") he remembers it like it just happened.
22 years is plenty if time. People in dressrosa heard legends of luffy being a damn giant. Marineford was 2 years ago and already misinformation and rumor spread.
Im using in panels and directly quoteding words. You get frustrated.
Other people add their own words and croo panels to make a point- you ignore and champion them.
Just say you're agenda doesn't allow you to be objective and move on, man.
Given that midhawk chased rookies across east blue, doesn't seem like he has any problems fighting inferior people. He went completely out of his way in fact to fight inferior people so that point is debunked.
Mid is also set to fight one eyed Zoro EoS and attacked sickbeard, so he has no problem fighting cripples either that point is debunked too.
All these excuses mid fans use to cover for him are easily proven wrong by even a casual reader, so the only conclusion is you're being willfully blind. Midhawk was puss, that's all there is to it, he has canonically backed out of fighting Shanks 3 times and sweated at the thought of competing with him.

Mihawk kneeling to Buggy right now already
He's forced to follow Buggy's wish or else he'd be seen as fraud by CG and the world
WB doesn't call their duels legendary!
He himself says it "many consider it a legend"
People consider those dudes as legendary while to WB, it still feel fresh.

Actually it seems that Whitebeard was talking about Roger's execution there when he says it's a legend. There's a full stop after he says 'many consider it a legend.' it's a carry on sentence from his other speech bubble. They think of Roger's execution as a legend because it's so old, but Whitebeard considers 22 years to still be fresh news.
All he said about Shanks' duel was that it's new info to him. Didn't call it legendary at all. Plus in context, even if he did, he's clearly talking about 'legend' in the sense of an old story, not magnitude. He's making a comment on that he's an old man, nothing more.
Makes sense since no one else in the entire manga has ever mentioned this mid tier duel.
