Does this imply that one arm makes shankes inferior to mihawk???
I mean by hype, yonko is clearly above shichibukai.

They are in general but it doesn't apply to all of'em...
Yonko are strong crews, that rule the seas as per their liking but Warlords usually need WG's attention to gain something...
P.S. Yonko aren't just defined by their captain, it's their whole crew that make up for their reputation...

Mihawk isnt stronger than shanks, if he would have then he would hadkilled him a long before and became a younkou himself.
Shichibukais also have their crews but they are not strong enough to challenge younkous.
Even shichibukais need to work under some of the younkou if they want to survive in the new world and thats what mihawk do, he has became a ally with red hair pirates so that even he can survive in new world.But the fans has taken it in a wrong way.
New world rule is applicable to all no matter how strong you are, "either work under a younkou or take out them", and none of the shichibukai are capable of it. Even the likes of doflamingo cant take out them.

Mihawk is stronger than Shanks, if not then he is atleast as strong as Shanks because they used to have daily duels but somewhere down the line Mihawk became the worlds strongest swordsman. Shanks is a swordsman so that implies Mihawk is stronger than Shanks. If they had a one vs one, Mihawk would surely come out on top. However it is true that Yonko's aren't about their own strengths because even the strongest man in the world wasn't much stronger than the admirals and I assume the other Yonko are weaker than Whitebeard. Also just because Mihawk is stronger than Shanks doesn't mean he has to become a Yonko. People have different aspirations and Mihawk doesn't seem interested in the pirate life. However I could see him joining the Red hair pirates in the future for the heck of it.

Do you really think Shanks is just swordsman. Theres more of it. Whitebeard can take out admirals if he really wanted that tym. but his sole purpose was to rescue ace but after his death he attacked them with killing intent which clearly shows he is different from admirals in terms of strength. And other younkous are weaker then WB but surely stronger then mihawk. Mihawk and zoro are just hype they are not strong as people says
Shanks is just a swordsman, he's not a DF user. He might be good with haki but so is Mihawk. Also Whitebeard got half his face blown off by Akainu who could still fight for a long time afterwards. Also he was getting beat by admirals the whole time, so he's not far from admiral level. All Yonko's are around admiral level, their hype is from their crew/alliance/territory but they're not their own tier at all.
Shanks probably gets most of his power from his incredibly strong Haki (I kinda think he is probably the strongest Haki user in the series.)
I also got the feeling that Mihawk underestimated how strong Shanks was when he lost his arm, cause if I remember correctly Shanks was willing to fight Mihawk. But even then I wouldn't be surprised if Mihawk is a better swordsman that Shanks.

This is a very common theory you know...and I doubt Rayleigh was the WSS before Mihawk or that Mihawk beat him for the title. Rayleigh has been retired and laying low for 25 years. Mihawk was only 18 when the Roger pirates disbanded.
Think of it this way, Rayleigh had only layed low for about 5-10 years when Mihawk beat him for the title. By then he was about as old as the admirals.
Luffy said as the pirate kings companion he'd expect his first mate to atleast be that strong(WSS). Rayleigh was the first mate of Roger and he had the same markings on his clothes that Mihawk does + we only know him to be a swordsman so there are alot of things to support this theory.
