Speculations Is Shanks gonna have the exact same fighting style as Mihawk, except slightly weaker?

"How does he fight" may as well refer to the question about Shanks' fighting capability and skill. We know Shanks has no DF. We also know Shanks is a top class swordsman with incredible skill and a Meito. What does Shanks have left? Kicking? Obviously, his kicks wouldn't come close to his ability with the sword. Apart from that, there is no reason Mihawk cannot kick. Zoro himself has been seen kicking and punching, but he isn't using that in fights because it pales in comparison with his swordskill.

Probably mid diff

but you can’t apply this logic to shanks. Mohawk uses a two handed sword, shanks uses a one handed sword. Mihawk would be significantly more nerfed.
But why?
Shanks fought with two arms with the same sword.

Its not like guy who can obliterate an Island sized Iceberg without even trying would have trouble with the weight of a sword??

If Shanks can do better than Mihawk with one arm, that means he's more talented than Mihawk and nothing in the story indicates of that being the case.

If Mihawk lost his arm freshly, two arms Mihawk would beat one arm Mihawk high diff. It's not like one arm Mihawk's power level drops by 50%, since his other stats, especially Haki remain the same, just as his speed, reaction, hawk vision, etc. You also have to consider that with years passing, Mihawk would greatly adjust to his handicap and honing his skill with one arm.

And as it was pointed out, Shanks' sword is better suited for one arm usage than Mihawk's humongous Kriegsmesser.
