Vista alone held Mihawk off for some time, where as all the commanders + Andre + Crocodile had a hard time with Akainu (vista was also there), when Shaanks easily stood up against Akainu, this makes me think that Shanks is superior to Mihawk also it is unlikely that a Shichibukai is stronger than a Yonkou.
