Questions & Mysteries Why is Shiliew constantly brought up as this Top Tier swordsman that could kill Mihawk?

He wont. It is not necessary.
There are no Kaido's level of durability people walking around and Zoro doesnt have it either.
Is there anyone who thinks he isnt a top tier?

Zoro didnt hit Kaido with a haki blast, he attacked him with his swords and Kaido went "oh shit you have conquerors haki". that means its coated. zoros been using ryuo for longer than luffy has anyway.
Mihawk could also help Shanks against Teach directly if Teach gets something really powerful :
seems he was going to try to steal this so called "reward" from the Marines , either Pluton in Alabasta or one of the Warlords , i'm leaning towards Pluton .
meanwhile Shiryu can fight Beckmann .

Yonko vs Yonko,
He will fight Shiryu
And what feats has Mihawk? Asking for a postponement against Vista and go after some randoms? Or attacking Luffy without any sense and failing? Or being stopped by Crocodile who run like a bitch from a guy equal to Shiryu in strength?
Shiryu is EoS material since he joined the great antagonist of this manga, Marshall D. Teach, the polar opposite of Luffy the main character >> a nonsense WSS who didnt fight any relevant swordsman aside from Vista in 12 years, stayed in GL and sometimes was pursuing fodders like Don Krieg and with less hype than Kurohige preYami Yami since he couldn't scar Shanks like the current Yonko
So yeah, he could kill Mihawk perfectly (though ofc that won't happen). Kurohige will be the strongest opponent Luffy ever will fight, so Shiryu can be Admiral lvl char easily since he is the second strongest in that crew without doubt.

After all what feats does Fujitora have that put him on that absurd level? But it's well renowned how potent he is.
Okay so there's a few reasons to believe it. I certainly don't, because Mihawk is the entire point of Zoro's character existing. To undercut Mihawk would be a bold move from Oda and would have a very difficult time working out. IMO, if Oda wanted to subvert Zoro's end goal, he'd of spent more time on flashbacks between Mihawk and Zoro by now. Showcase that the full extent of their master/mentor relationship.
But as to why some people believe it and why people gas Shiryuu up as very strong...
Shiryuu was said to be the equal to Magellen back in Impel Down but even more lethal. Meaning, an encounter with Shiryuu is likely to kill you rather than an encounter with the poison man. Which is pretty nuts in and of itself.
Then you gotta remember what Magellen's purpose was—keeping every prisoner in line, including the Level 6 prisoners. When the likes of Jinbe, Crocodile and Ivankov would rather run away from you then fight you, ya know you're tough shit. Albeit they were on a time table and had to escape, I'd say take a look at the Rooftop.
Sulong Dukes could stomp Jack the Drought in a second. So in a group effort, the fact Jinbe, Crocodile and Ivankov considered that defeating Magellen would take too much time or the fact they might not of thought they could win is nuts. Even Ivankov alone, who was unafraid of Kuma, was defeated soundly against Magellen.
The final reason is that Teach's crew is the dark reflection of Luffy's. Shiryuu shares a common backstory with Zoro, both rescued by their captains from marine imprisonment and certain death. And that indicates, like Zoro, Shiryuu is going to be a cut above the rest of his crew. A real monster that usually gets compared to Luffy with remarks such as "And he's not the captain!?"
So yeah, 100% can see why some people would think Shiryuu is capable of killing Mihawk. He's not going to be another scrub.
