Controversial Understanding Oda's strongest titles

Nobody defeated him isn’t quite the same as nobody was able to defeat him.
He had half his skull leaking at the end of the war, and his onslaught on Akainu after killing his son only held the latter off for two chapters . Why are people doing an awful lot to not admit he wasn’t the strongest pirate anymore . He damn near admitted the same, his own commanders were concerned and that played a role in their defeat as well.

World's Strongest Swordsman is the only legitimate title which is relevant to one of the main characters of One Piece, Zoro
The other titles have no importance in terms of whether they're just global reputation or actual substantively true
And with Imu's existence as both a man and a creature, WSM and WSC are simply false.
Whitebeard's "World's Strongest Man" is based on his rivalry with Roger. When Roger died, Whitebeard was viewed as the de facto strongest since he was the only one to "truly" rival him. Shiki basically says this, so that's where Whitebeard's title comes from.
Kaido's "Strongest Creature" was purely reputation based on begin with likely because of his insane durability and endurance. People would see Kaido being unharmed by basically anything thrown at him and spread around the rumor that he was the "Strongest Creature".

We don't know if Imu is a swordman or not. He used the Great sword to stab Loki because he can wield any weapon. He used shotgun against Broggy because he knew how powerful his weapons. He knows what he is doing. Same with his leg attack against Sanji - he mastered every battle style. He is not Luffy or an incompetent hax user.
The WB who was getting heart attacks, who couldn't overpower any admirals directly is WSM? 
Cope all you want, Whitebeard was canonically the strongest till he died. The man who defeated Loki confirmed this
Titles are literally what the common people in the OP universe believe, nothing more and and nothing less.
Being world's strongest x is still mean to be great portrayal for a character ofc since there has to be a reason for them to get such reputation, but Imu's existence alone proves they weren't mean to be some kind of irrefutable truth. The moment you start making even one exception, the whole thing crumbles.
