Never said you did but you did say they are comparable
If crocodile is a high diff fight for mihawk, is the one planning everything, leading its members, financings, with cross guild being his idea, and utopia his goal first before mihawk wanted the same then mihawk isn't worthy of being partners
Again mihawk role is strength and crocodiles role is pretty much everything else. Crocodile strength doesn't contribute close to how much mihawks does
