Mihawk blocked Crocodile there.
You see Mihawk noticing Crocodile coming in for a sneak attack, blocking him with the back of his sword, and blur lines on Croco's hook indicating movement.
Whether he expected it or not, don't think it was Crocodile going in for sneak attack as being a Logia, he wouldn't be that direct.
Plus Mihawk could easily ended it in one-shot like he did to Jimbei when they fought. It didn't end like that as both didn't go down in the fight.

guess which one of them was going all out?
ur comparing the wss with the weakest shichibukai after buggy stop it
Who still fought evenly with Mihawk, so wonder what makes Mihawk then on unable to get passed him, but could with Daz Bones his underling? Again Oda put reason why for that as he isn't same lvl from before in Alabasta Arc.
Oh yeah speaking of Buggy:
Couldn't beat future Warlord Buggy either with his abilities.
