They aren't titles in the same sense as a boxing title. Which is the way you and many others talk about it.
Mihawk and WB are the strongest swordsman and man respectively. They aren't the World's Strongest Man/Swordsman title holders.
Yet we know that isn't true at any moment if WB was actually challenged by any of the other Yonko he wouldve lost in his weakened condition, this was proven in MF, when Squardo wounded him so easily and Croc called him a weak man... he held the title but was uncontested by any of the other Yonko on the scale that MF was or Wano, at best we have a young Croc and a Super Rookie Ace who actually tried going after WB directly.
same goes for Mihawk he claims there isnt any other opponent worthy than Shanks and even than he doesnt even want to fight him, this has been showcased on multiple occasions, not once or twice but 3 times even moreso he doesnt even want to face the Yonko, for someone who has knowledge and knows of the strongest swordsman on WBP crew he never wanted to challenge him and didnt want to fight him on MF...
you're right they arent like boxing titles cause in boxing you actually care to prove your worth instead the best mihawk has done was chance down east blue fodder in paradise....
in over 20y he haasnt challenged or faced an actual top tier... thats called being a placeholder..
Panels where they say that they wanted the WSM title from him?
idk how to make it any clearer they clearly challenged him for simply being the strongest thats clearly stating they want his title to prove that they are stronger than WB, like i seriously dont know how you dont understand that, is common sense foreighn to you?
He didn't say it and I didn’t claim that he did but they fought did they not? Vista was surprised that Mihawk heard of him and was pleased to meet him.
If launching one attack that got interfered with by someone else is enough to claim that they are being challenged for the title as per your post above than above is too.
so wht makes you believe as such when Vista was perfectly content with clashing/fighting for over a full chapter to postpone the fight.. lol cause someone has manners that doesnt fit your agenda here, Vista is a well mannered man this is showcased in his attire he introduced himself and said please to meet you, yes Vista was surprised Mihawk heard of him, i would to if the supposed WGS heard of me after never encountering one another while one is simply a commander and the other is regarded as one of the 4 Worlds strongest or greatest whatevers. Mihawk is infamous, Vista isnt..
youre not even making sense and just spouting nonsense at this point.
Kuma considers trying to become the WSS as great ambition so that's another one that respects the difficulty of becoming so.
lol ok thats one character out of 745454775 in the verse
how many people talked about the WSM and wanting to challenge WB and how many people talked about the WGS title and wanted to challenge Mihawk?
When Mihawk visited Shanks' on his island.
lmfao you mean this:
when Mihawk went out of his way to find Shanks... I dont see anywhere here where Shanks actually cared or claimed to want to fight Mihawk... show me where it is cause i cant find it?
They also literally fought against eachother in such an epic fight that even WB heard of and remembered it... do you even read this manga?
& that was over 2 decades ago before Shanks was even considered a Yonko and before Shanks ever visited Luffy, so a 2teenage Shanks who formed his crew around 15-17yo fought Mihawl who was already considered to beht e WSS as you consider him and stalemated him & guess what Shanks never cared to actually go back and fight him again or win outright.. WB remembers and thats all he was reminsing on the old seas of course hes going to bring up that fight when hes talkign to one of the persons that was in the actual fucking fight.
I read the manga yes do you cause you dont really see to be doing so...
