we know shanks is stronger than mf wb so is kaido and so is current blackbeard. unless mihawk got a PU his words stand. Mihawk confirmed he is weaker than MF WB.
End of debate. mihawk said it himself.
Mate this is massively selective reading.
Firstly, there's no real way to compare any of the characters you mentioned to Oldbeard or Sickbeard because the only real fight he had was against Akainu, and none of those guys have fought him.
Furthermore, Mihawk never once confirmed he was weaker than MF WB. You're taking your own interpretation of Mihawk's line to be factual, despite the fact that it was a metaphor in the first place and despite the fact that there are translation issues with it as well.
And on top of that, I already told you that even if we were to go along with your idea that Mihawk implied himself to be weaker than Whitebeard, that line
still came before the reveal that Whitebeard was sick, dying and apparently no longer the strongest.
So while you're bringing up all of this stuff, you still haven't addressed any of the following:
-Mihawk telling Shanks to his face that he doesn't challenge one-armed has beens
-Mihawk's bounty being close to Shanks' and above Buggy's despite basically having nothing going for him besides his strength
-Brannew's statement essentially confirming that Shanks is a swordsman under Mihawk's title
-That "sword skill" alone doesn't cut it for the title because Zoro uses (and will continue to use) advanced haki, not to mention the fact that Mihawk's "sword skill" was never even called the strongest, merely better than Shanks'
