We don't know much about Shanks but Vista seems 2nd best he can easily confront Mihawk and as BB wants Shiryuu in his crew he can be as strong as them. Also after 2 years Zoro is on par with them making him 4th for me. Rest is hard to tell cause there are too many high ranked swordsman both in Marines and Pirates, most of the WB commanders are swordsman also Vice Admirals are swordsman and by looking their ranks ı can tell they should be pretty strong as well. As the serie go on new and stronger swordsman will show, ıf they won't who will fight Zoro.
