Powers & Abilities Roger isn’t a swordsman

I think Roger and Shanks are swordsmen but they are different than Mihawk/Ryuma
The only difference is that Mihawk and maybe Ryuma had the sword and swordsmanship as their way of life and their "dream", while for Roger and Ahanks seems to be more a weapon.
At least from depiction, Mihawk seemed interested in being the strongest swordsman and Shanks wasn't, but at the same time this doesn't mena Shanks is not.

Is like Brook and Pinzoro.
Pinzoro lives by the sword, Brook doesn't. But both are swordsmen.
 
I saw the writing on the wall when we had Rocks vs Harald and both were pure swordsman.

Roger/Shanks agenda is donzo

the one and only swordsman I think might have a chance of being above Mihawk is a domi reversi’d Nusjuro. That is simply because the WG is likely the final villains.

But Oda could just end the manga like Naruto where the final fights of Luffy vs Blackbeard and Zoro vs Mihawk come after the WG falls.
