Mihawk fans are in the mud.
1-First we learned that Shanks wasn't a Yonko when Mihawk dueled Shanks, they dueled more than 12 years before, Shanks become a Yonko 6 years before. (Mihawk fans were saying the duel was when Shanks was a Yonko)
2-Then we learned that CoC Haki level is a big factor in battles (Mihawk fans were saying its meaningless because Chinjao has it etc), which would give the edge to Shanks if his Ad.CoC level is higher than his opponent's (see Kaido vs. ch.1010 Luffy), which means if Mihawk's Ad.CoC level (if Mihawk has even a relative Ad.CoC that is, we don't even know Mihawk has basic CoC yet while Shanks has the highest Ad.CoC) is not equal to Shanks's, he would lose to Shanks even if Mihawk is the greatest swordsman or not.
3-Final nails in the coffin, government says Buggy is a bigger name than WGS Mihawk, thus they choose Buggy as the Yonko amongst the Buggy-Mihawk-Crocodile alliance trio, and Law even says both Mihawk and Crocodile are on the same level, Law doesn't separate Mihawk from Crocodile. (Mihawk fans were saying Mihawk can become a Yonko if he wanted).
4-Mihawk fans also said Shanks's fight with Base Blackbeard is not the same, and different than Base BB fight, even when its confirmed Mihawk fought Non-Yonko Shanks same as Base BB, (when even Shanks himself compared Base BB to Mihawk) some of them even claimed that Shanks fought Base BB before Shanks even become a captain.
See the images, Shanks has no scar when he was already the captain of Red hair pirates:
Edit: Oda confirms it directly in chapter 1057:
