And even if we accept that he is really "honest" (I am sure he isn't), then the best thing he can do shut up about Mihawk and Shanks arguments as he says he was proven wrong, so why we should listen from someone who think he was wrong, now he is lecturing us and even insulting us when we say Shanks > Mihawk?
I can understand "perhaps" some crazy Shanks fans (because as I said, Shanks > Mihawk still majority) can think Mihawk is stronger but there is no way they are going argue for Mihawk.
I am talking about him arguing for Mihawk like crazy, he should just shut up and leave it to others then.
He literally said Shanks might have advantage in Haki department, what else a Non-Shanks fan need to say more? Lol.
