Questions & Mysteries Zoro remember Mihawk and Mr 1 than King.

Cabaji, Nyaban Brothers & Hatchan were not Opponents who earned Zoro's Respect, He also fought them Nerfed
Ohm Fight was also more of a Challenge (Iron Trial) than a Duel & He won using Flying Slashes which he learned in Previous Fight already
Lucci being a Villain was not planned from Start (Actually even Robin wasn't among Original SHs Draft), so Kaku was added too
Hyouzou couldn't even kill Zoro's Boredom. Pica relied on Hiding more than facing Zoro straight on, so nothing worthy of Respect here either
As for Zombie Ryuma, not only Zoro fought with Two-Swords, but the guy was a Zombie & Zoro said let's pretend this Fight didn't happen

So when you really think about it, aside from Mihawk
Mr. 1 is Only Rival of Zoro whom Oda created

He is Worldwide Famous, an Assassin & Former Bounty Hunter just like Zoro, his DF basically makes him Infinite Sword-Style User, Zoro defeated him with Extreme Difficulty & He is only one among Zoro's Opponents who Lost cuz He didn't know Zoro could Hurt him (All the others were careful when dealing with Zoro, but Mr. 1's Defeat came as a Surprise for him, meaning if they had a Re-Match with Mr. 1 knowing he can be Hurt, it would have been even Tougher Fight) ... etc

This might be Controversial, but i believe Mr. 1 was Stronger than Pre-Enies Lobby Zoro & also Stronger than Kaku
And Post-TS He should be even More Powerful

After all, he is "Sole" Right-Hand Man of a Shadow Yonko with 1.9B
Unlike other Zoro's Opponents who have others sharing their Rank or Higher

So Yes, imo Zoro Respects Mr. 1 The Most after Mihawk

Lol no chance is Daz stronger than Kaku. Zoro wouldn't struggle to cut Daz now he knows Lion Song.

Yeah Mr. 1 can't compete with Zoro Post-TS
Let's agree to disagree on Mr. 1 vs Kaku
Daz has nothing for Kaku who would by pass his steel defence. You do know Zoro learnt Lion Song during his fight against Daz? Like only reason the Daz fight was tough for Zoro is because he couldn't cut steel.

Daz hit Zoro like 3 times and that was near the end of the fight. Also the building falling on Zoro did most of the damage.
Zoro ragdolled and overpowered Daz most of the fight but none of his attacks worked.
Doesn't change the fact that Mr. 1 was still able to overwhelm Zoro once he decided to get offensive.
Also Mr. 1 was certain that Zoro cannot cut him, that's why He didn't go all out from start.
It's like saying Supernova Ragdolled Kaidou but none of their Attacks worked

I'm not criticizing Zoro here
I'm saying that Crocodile didn't recruit some Low Tier from Impel Down or Mihawk knows the Name of some Low Tier Bounty Hunted.
Mr. 1 was clearly Super Strong even by NW Standards, that's why even Mihawk heard about him, and why Croco made him his Right-Hand Man
