No in shonen its always : new gen > old gen > mid gen
Luffy > Roger > Shanks
Coby > Garp > Akainu
Etc etc
Mihawk hasn’t the portrayal, the relevance, the theme, the feats to beat Roger.
Roger is Luffy, the MC goal. He is 100% above Zoro goal.
And it’s a shonen and about pirate and pirate king. Not about swordsmen and WSS. Roger is the pinnacle of piracy.

Roger was a swordsman
Black blade will be a power up for zoro so it would be one for Roger too.
Like buggy said you don't need to beat anyone to be pirate king
