If you fight with a sword, you are a swordsman, no questions. Unlike Daz Bones, Shanks uses a sword, which makes him a swordsman. Even those "irrefutable" Marine fodder in that Zoro novel say Shanks is a swordsman. Saying Shanks isn't a swordsman is like saying Akainu doesn't fight with magma...
I've been theorizing that Shanks did fight Mihawk after losing his arm, and that's only after becoming Yonko. Mihawk won but was disappointed he couldn't get Shanks at his best (2 arms), making him the WSS by default.
