Ok, Mihawk is the best sword fighter in the One Piece world, as we have seen him demonstrate multiple times. However, he doesnt have the brute physical strength or the haki of shanks and rayleigh, so he isnt as strong as they are. And I personally think that zoro could take on a vice admiral before the timeskip, and has now increased a bunch, which makes him easily above their level
