Good thing shank fans aren’t desperately trying to convince people he did….. Valueless he couldn’t beat shanks 1-1, after shank lost his main sword hand. Mihawk finally surpassed him. In swordsmanship “alone”.

No need WB fought characters established above Shanks. Mihawk never fought a character within the same tier as shanks let alone someone superior.
Kaido individual strength well known having clashed with navy/Yonko. So much so his bounty/reputation are attributed to sheer strength People have something to compare.
Mihawk has nothing of shanks. He’s the superior swordsman largely in part to his main competition losing his main sword hand. Hardly worth the hype
