Well about his strongest slash, Hh said, "I am just going to measure the difference between the strength of that man and mine". Some one else commented when Jozu stopped it that "he stopped the worlds strongest slash." Now the thing is Mihawk himself did never say it was his strongest attack, also even if it was, he aimed it to Whitebeard and that means it was not aimed for someone like Jozu so he might had considered just on the strength of the slash and not on haki and as Jozu also has haki, (he damaged Crocodile and Aokji) he might had used it as well as his Diamond body to stop the attack, also as the attack had already traveled a lot of ground (cutting ice) before it reached Jozu it might had been some what weakened. I mean Mihawk did not take a lot of time or struggle a lot to make the attack which mean that is not the best he can do. As for fights with Shanks, well Whitebeard himself said to Shanks that he had heard about his (Shanks') fights with Hawkeye which means that those fights were pretty intense.
