Future Events Is Zoro vs Mihawk going to be in the shadow of any other 1vs1 fight?

Imo it will only be surpassed by Luffy vs Blackbeard. That fight would be the biggest payoff of the biggest raw emotional and powerlevel combination investment.
And if it happens 1 vs 1, the ultimate fight powerlevel-wise ever will be Luffy vs Imu.
I dont know if any other fight will ever comes close. But Zoro vs Mihawk at least will be number 2 overall, just below Luffy vs BB. Even if Luffy soloes Imu in the battle of gods, the emotional investments and honor shouldnt be equal to Zoro vs Mihawk.

Luffy vs Blackbeard will be a much worse and less interesting fight, just like every Zoro's fight in arc is more enjoyable than Luffy's fight.
How come?
1. Luffy's fights always drag so much, while Zoro's aren't
2. Luffy tries to clown around, watching some chapters where he got his ass kicked around. Then suddenly bullshit comes and he wins
Luffy vs Blackbeard will be filled with unnecessary dragging, random flashback, plot armor, unneccesary clowning compared to Zoro vs Mihawk which will be shorter but more serious and intense from the beginning to the end.

Zoro's goal is already overshadowed by Luffy'sHe himself bowed to Mihawk to get stronger and help Luffy be PK.
Mihawk vs Zoro won't happen. The battle lost its weight when Mihawk trained Zoro and when Mihawk got revoked as warlord
If it does, it won't overshadow any Yonko saga finale battles.
Y'all should stop reading fan feelings
Zoro doesn't need to beat Mihawk anymore.
i can see it going down two ways
the first one: mihawk goes to shanks territory and ally himself with shanks cuz he got bored of marines following him so zoro will fight mihawk the same time luffy fights shanks and sanji fights beckman
the second: zoro will fight mihawk after the final war and luffy became the pirate king and zoro vs mihawk would be the last fight in the manga
i think the first is the most likely one

Honestly this fight has always worried me. Two traditional Swordsmen, with no gimmicks involved, is not the typical kind of fights that Oda is know to like the draw. The closest we've gotten to something like this was Zoro vs Zombie Ryuma, and that is exactly what you'd expect from a fight between two traditional swordsman. I can see it being grand in terms of environmental damage, and a few big named attacks here and there, but it's all going to be clashes of steel together. Neither will get the upper hand throughout the entire fight, and it will end with both launching their Ultimate attack, and Zoro coming out on top. I'm not too optimistic on it being the most entertaining fight in the series though. It'll be generic, but in a badass way.
Not talking about the usual formula here.
But if you want to be reminded about the usual formula, then here you go:
1. Fishman island arc
Luffy defeated Hody, Zoro defeated base Hody and Hyozo. Sanji only tag teamed Wadatsumi.
2. Punk Hazard arc
Luffy defeated Ceasar. Zoro defeated Monet. Sanji didn't defeat anyone and only got L from no FBH, no bamboo stick Vergo.
3. Dressrosa
Luffy faced Chinjao and Doffy. Zoro pushed back Fujitora and defeated Golem Pica. Sanji ran away from Pekoms.
4. Zou
Nobody faced Jack but Sanji got kidnapped
5. Dressrosa
Zoro was absent. Luffy defeated Cracker and Katakuri. Sanji defeated no one, not even able to KO Bobbins. Well unless you want to count Sanji's betrayal then sure he KOed Luffy briefly.
6. Wano act 1-2
Luffy defeated Holdem, Babanuki, Urashima. Zoro defeated Kamazo and magistrate, almost defeated Hawkins. Sanji even with his newest PU, didn't defeat anyone.
Wano act 3
Zoro fought 500 gifters. Luffy met 2 Flying Six and Yamato. Sanji who uses his dick instead of his brain, is going away for hoes.
Yep by usual formula, nothing suggests Sanji will take out Ben Beckman who is portrayed ~ Shanks. Sanji never defeated anybody relevant, let alone anyone that is ~ Luffy's opponent.
More like battle of the dumbasses
One that almost joined Big Mom Pirates and KOed his own captain trying to save him, one that blindly believes Shanks not knowing his true nature despite spending years with him already.
But still not happening though.

People say Oda is bad at drawing sword fights but the only fight that is looking alike Zoro vs Mihawk was Zoro vs Ryuma and it was quite short and not a major arc fight and still managed to be pretty good, imo.
Also, the way Oda started that fight was amazing, he made it look like Zoro lost and then took us through it to a different realization.
All other sword fights had a different flavor to them away from classic sword battle, for example, Kaku fight was heavily DF and Rankyaku flavored. Perhaps Oda is doing it on purpose, giving different flavors to fights so the only classic sword fight will remain Zoro vs Ryuma and Zoro vs Mihawk. Future battles seem to have those different flavors too, invisibility about Shiryu, heavily DF flavored whether it's Kizaru or Fujitora and there is also Gandhi who is a mystery for now but may be curse flavored since he has a Kitetsu.
