Powers & Abilities Why do people have trouble calling characters swordsman ?

The strength of the enemies do matter when you're bringing the "But Zoro faced numbers too though" argument.
Doflamingo wouldnt need help to kick Zoro's ass either. My original statement still holds up. Both faced fujitora, in Laws case Fujitora had Doffy backing him up. There hasnt been a gap portrayed between the two.

Yeah, put me in the “Swordsman implies a certain level of skill over pure usage” camp. I’m not so rigid that I think it has to be an ACTUAL sword - if a DF user manifests their powers into the form of a blade AND has some proficiency with it, then they’re a swordsman as well. Still, to be considered a practitioner of an art like swordsmanship, you have to actually, you know...practice it. Outside of that, I won’t hesitate to call a swordsman when I see one.
None of that actually comes from what we see. Law vs Killer and Gyukimaru never happened. Zoro vs Doflamingo never happened. You can't just make up a result.
Who did they fight in common? Briefly Fujitora and Hawkins. Not sure where you're getting "gap" from but neither of those are conclusive either way. The level of opponent capable of beating Law by way of hustle (Vergo, Hawkins) is either beaten by Zoro (Pica is same rank as Vergo) or just exchanges more or less evenly with Zoro (Fujitora and Hawkins). As I said, it's debatable because the details are usually so different.

Anybody that uses sword 100% of all time and once they lost their sword, they're fodder
For example, if Mihawk doesn't have Yoru then he's fodder. People like Big Mom and Kizaru are not swordsman because they can fight without using a sword
Hope this clear for you guys
What is so hard about this issue. If said person uses a sword skillfully with their fighting abilty, then they are considered a swordsman. You don't have to only wield a sword as your only offense/defense measure to be classified as a swordsman.
I've seen posts stating Law can not be considered a swordsman because he uses his devil fruit. This is asinine.

Seeing how oda labels fujitora a swordsman, someone who legit never used his sword for slashing/stabbing/cutting/whatever, i'd guess oda probably views big mom as a swordswoman as well.
And also considering oda labeling fuji a swordsman, i heavily doubt that the WSS title is about only swordsmanship, but fighting in general. That would mean mihawk > fuji, mihawk > big mom. If the WSS title is about only swordsmanship, then this isnt necessarily the case. And since zoro is going to be the future WSS and he uses kicks, punches, demonic powers to grow extra heads and limbs, that just adds to why i heavily doubt it is about only swordsmanship.

You have that backwards, his fanboys project himself stronger than what he is... memeing as if what ever they say is truth... is there any other fandom more delusional... we can admit Zoro is strong, we can admit that he might have not gone all out yet, but that doesn't mean he wasn't close to doing so.
