Now Zoro mihawk fans say WB never beat a top tier and his title should be the same with Mihawk.
WB consistently fought top tiers (Roger). Mihawk did not. You can't even prove Mihawk is a top tier when he never fought a single top tier.
That's the difference between Mihawk and WB. This is the gigantic difference between being the strongest and being the strongest at one proficient only (swordsmanship).
Shanks proved himself against the top tiers. He proved himself against the strongest Kaido, strongest Whitebeard and the great pirate Big Mom, she says she needs Elbaf to defeat Shanks.
Mihawk never proved that he can fight top tiers. Being strongest at swordsmanship means nothing if you can't back it up with feats.
Marco literally send Vista alone to fight Mihawk. But whenever Admirals involved he directly went there personally because he couldn't send Vista alone to stop someone like Akainu, he asked them to remove the Kairoseki cuffs first.
Crocodile alone stopped Mihawk and threatened him. Same Crocodile attacked Akainu from behind and couldn't stop him like he stopped Mihawk.
Whitebeard and Kaido are canonically superior to Mihawk. Kaido is superior to Akainu by Oda's own words. Strongest Kaido couldn't beat Shanks. Strongest Whitebeard couldn't beat Shanks after splitting the heavens. The version of WB that Shanks fought was superior to the version that WB fought Admirals at Marineford, MF WB couldn't even use regular CoC in MF while he was splitting heavens against Shanks with his CoC earlier, gigantic difference in power.
Shanks stopped Akainu fully while Kizaru still managed make his move in the next chapter despite Benn Beckman. Another portrayal difference.
Shanks fought canonically stronger opponents than Mihawk; strongest Kaido and strongest Whitebeard.
Great Pirate Shanks is canonically superior to Pirate Mihawk. Who cares about one proficient when you are both pirates and one pirate is superior than you? Oda probably doesn't even care to show the difference because he probably thinks its obvious. Some people here probably thinks Mihawk is not a pirate and they must be thinking Mihawk is a bounty hunter not a pirate. Nope, Mihawk is a pirate and he is not a great pirate like Shanks. There's a reason Shanks hyped even Base Teach over Mihawk when he was talking with Whitebeard.
Shanks didn't lose to canonically superior opponents than Mihawk. (Whitebeard and Kaido).
But here Mihawk/Zoro fanboys believes Mihawk can do the thing that Whitebeard and Kaido couldn't and beat Shanks because of a tiny little limited title like swordsmanship
Mihawk can never accomplish the feat that Kaido and Whitebeard couldn't. Mihawk can never beat Shanks. Just forget about Mihawk is even being equal to Shanks, that's never happening.
Shanks fought stronger people than Mihawk and didn’t lose. While Zoro mihawk fans still repeating the nonsense about Shanks being a swordsman only and nothing more and talking about the nonsense that only swordsmanship determines the result of the fights.
Pica literally used sword against Zoro and then he gave up and he tried to overpower Zoro with his Haki instead. Imagine Roger is being helpless against Garp if he drops his sword.
These people don't read One Piece manga. They read Zoro Piece.
