First of all, dont tell me you believe he would be a shichibukai and the strongest swordsman without him being able to use haki. Omg. If he couldnt then his abilities would be far worse than these of powerfull swordsman who could use haki. Kenbunshoku powerfull swordsmen users such as Vista would beat him up in a minute. And without Busoshoku he wouldnt be feared like that and couldnt be a shichibukai as its certain that some logia user would have beat/killed him.Gosh. That guy wanders alone on a coffin-like boat in the new world and survives. Do u think he wouldnt be dead by now if he isnt a user of haki? Now...guys dont go telling me that Aokiji and Kizaru are swordsmen..."It's not some kind of cheap trick or a devil fruit" said Mihawk when facing Vista.Guys remember having a devil fruit is thought to be a cheap trick among swordsmen. So dont go underestimating Dracule Mihawk.Probably he dueled with the last best swordsman and won. That's how he gained his title. Up until now nobody that has ever dueled him for this title ever won, and thats why he still remains the best swordman in the world. All in all i do believe Rayleigh is more powerfull than Mihawk and does not currently own this title because he probably didnt really wanted the title of the best and so he did not challenge him.
