Powers & Abilities Would Zoro be able to fight even without his swords?

Not only does the number of swords Zoro uses matter, but the quality of the swords matter as well. During the Killer fight he said he would have to "make do" with using Killers scythe when using Rengoku Onigirl. An attack that mind you, he utilized Haki with, while Killer was not using haki of his own to defend himself. The most the attack managed to do was KO killer. Now imagine if that same scenario played out, but Zoro had Shusui at the time instead of a regular scythe. Killer would more than likely still be recovering from that injury.
On the rooftop, Killer said that the fight would have been different had he had his signature punisher blades.
These two instances tell us that the quality of the blade matters a lot.
Take away Zoro's swords completely, and he's not even a fraction as strong as his is with them. People can argue Tatsumaki all they want, but without the lethality of the Swords in play, the attack is nowhere near comparable to what it can achieve with swords.

But Zoro has raw physical strength since he trains with extreme weigths. How would that not help him in fights even if he has none of his swords? The quality of his haki doesn't decrease and shouldn't decrease. Swords are lethal in general thats why they are extremely dangerous. But even without swords you can beat someone. Look at Garp, Look at Luffy both aren't using swords but only physical strength and haki. Or do you think zoros haki decreases if he has none of his swords? That would make no sense tbh.
Garp is also someone who fights with only fists and yet is a top tier just because of that. Thats why I am using him here. Whats stopping zoro to do the same? He should have the brute strength for it. His haki is also top notch. An swordless EoS Zoro would be able to take on any high high tier with mid difficulty and any top tier with extreme difficulty in my opinion.
Its simple, Garp just has even more immense physical strength than Zoro and so does Luffy by extension plus they have actually trained and refined their respective fighting styles, they've developed it for years. If Zoro actually trained in a swordless combat style and fought/defeated strong enemies with it then yes, what you're saying would be true but that's not the case.
