Character Discussion Why Mihawk doesn't fight non swordsmen?

Why did he attack Whitebeard while saying "I want to measure the distance between you and me" then? Anyway, Marineford power-scaling is whacky asf anyway since back then Oda had barely invented Haki and didn't know wtf he was doing
BUT saying that Mihawk didn't fight Whitebeard because he's weaker than him that he can't bother is plain untrue and disingenuous since he attacked East Blue fodder and Pre-TS Luffy without hesitation, so he definitely would have no problem fighting Whitebeard if he clearly has no problem attacking actual fodder characters

I know the lame backstory excuse
that "no one is worthy "
there's a gorosei wildcard with a sword
2 guys that just came out of the military draft from nowhere
Theres a yonko who got stronger after their duels 13 yrs ago but is not "worthy " because he has one arm
and there are other strong fighters Kaido , Blackbeard etc . Thing is as we saw with the CG chap not long ago , he is averse to challenging these lot.
The bloke isnt interested in anything higher than what he currently is . He is waiting to get beat. its as simple as that . Mihawk doesnt fight anyone relevant because he has capped his ambition.

Funny how you're the one to misquote Mihawk's words and then talk about someone else being disingenuous.
What Mihawk said was "measure the true distance between us and that man"
Why would you deliberately ignore the difference between single and plural? Unless Mihawk considers literally everyone on the Navy's side (including himself) equal to one another, then that statement makes zero sense from a powerscaling perspective.
What Mihawk was measuring was how difficult it would be for anyone to reach WB.

I know that he said "us" instead of "me", but we're not debating how strong are the Warlords compared to Cancerbeard, we're only comparing Mihawk and since he included himself in the context of his words.
Also it doesn't necessarily mean that he considers all of the Warlords equal in the sense that they have equal power level, but in the sense that they're all equally weaker than Cancerbeard, that's why he said it plural and included himself
Anyway like I said, Marineford was bullshit since aside from Mihawk, wounded Cancerbeard isn't stronger than Akainu or Yami Blackbeard despite his showings againt them, but back then the power-scaling was shit because Oda hadn't refined Haki yet or knew how the story would progress

I wouldn't go so far to rank those. Unless we get rivals for those (which I don't think we will ever get) these titles were given to those individuals after they had reached top levels. Sailing those seas, I would never draw clear lines of superiority or inferiority. Every battle between members of that class would last for days with an outcome that strongly depended on the situation (one quick wrong decision, an external element distracting one of them, etc.). Meaning the fight, if repeated over and over, could still go either way again - and again only after a 10 day long fight.
I start to think that at this point we have to understand those titles were created because of those top level people.
"Oh look, that's Kaido. He's unrivaled, a literal monster in all terms. (And since he's not really human but rather some weird creature/oni) let's name that guy Strongest Creature of the World.
Same for Mihawk."Oh look, that's the swordsman that fucked up everyone who ever dared to face him. He must be the Strongest Swordsman on the World."
Same for WB. "Oh, look. That's Whitebeard. Just a regular human guy but he's literally fighting the Pirate King/ or superstar pirate Gold Roger (depending on the time) on equal terms. He must be The Strongest Human on the World."
Surely Roger had some title too, prior to his ascension to PK. Surely Shanks has some title, too. One that isn't any less worth than WSS, WSM, WSC, etc.
In one piece, titles don't make people. People make titles.
