I think answering the questions you are dodging will stop that.
Yes, we do know. Are the Emperor and Admirals not on the same level or not? Based on what is Shanks, an Emperor, on another level than Rayleigh and an Admiral, Kizaru? I agree with you that using past clashes is wrong as you've shown it doesn't work with Kaido/Moria and pre timeskip Blackbeard/Emperor Shanks. However, I'm
not using Mihawk's past clashes to say he is on Shanks level, that would be foolish. Oda portrayed Rayleigh to be as strong as an Admiral, Kizaru. Rayleigh has as much as hype as any Admiral/Emperor and he was able to stalemate Kizaru. We don't know who is stronger between Rayleigh and Kizaru. All we do know is that via their hype and their clash that they are more or less on par. Being stronger than Rayleigh who has as much hype as the Admirals and Emperors means Mihawk is at that level as well. Being the biggest obstacle for the future PK right hand man, the guy who is only good at fighting and only second to Luffy in the crew puts him at that level as well. Luffy wants to surpass Shanks and via his hype we can deduce he is up there with the big boys, the one Zoro wants to surpass is no different. The reason Mihawk failed to 'stop' Luffy was because Vista protected Luffy. This by no means dehypes Mihawk, it means Vista while he doesn't have the hype of an Admiral/Emperor proved he can play with people of that level. Oda implied Vista could last longer by having Mihawk be the one to ask for them to fight some other time. I can see on your list that you're open for the possibility that Kizaru is stronger than Akainu for whatever reason so if you act like Mihawk being stopped by Vista means he isn't Admiral/Emperor level then that means neither are Rayleigh who is ~ Kizaru who could possibly be > Akainu(according to you). We also have Aokiji who was said to be almost as strong as Akainu and you also admit there's small gaps between the Admirals as well(which I and most people ofc agree with). Two Admirals (Sengoku, Kizaru) also failed to take out Luffy and they had more reason to kill him right away than Mihawk who was testing Luffy's luck. Plot was clearly on Luffy's side because Mihawk/Sengoku/Kizaru are so much stronger that they can fodderize him whenever they want to.
You're putting words in my mouth. I never said those things make him an Admiral level but that Oda did that to him and not the other 6 Warlords. This is ofcourse no surprise because they don't have hype which puts them at Admiral level like Mihawk. If this was another Warlord it wouldn't go unnoticed, I'm not sure why you'd say otherwise. A fodder named the slash the strongest and not Mihawk which means it's a slash from the strongest swordsman. The slash also travelled a fair distance and the best counter stopped it - a diamond man and not a man made out of flesh. Daz who is a man made out of steel was able to stop an attack aimed at Luffy. Jozu is also not anyone as well. He was strong enough for Oda to speed up his loss against an Admiral(Aokiji). Kizaru was stopped not only once but twice by WB's underling. I guess this means that this Admiral is not Admiral level as well. It was only the big boys that performed attacks. Mihawk's attack was used together with Kizaru's attack to introduce us to and hype WB's underlings.
So Rayleigh and Kizaru are not at Admiral/Emperoro level? :/ He doesn't have any less hype than those people and he leads an organization trying to overthrow the WG which consists of several people of that level. Everything points towards to him being on the same level. You're confusing fanmade hype with actual hype. Most people think Dragon is the strongest but that doesn't mean that it's true. He could be the strongest but he could also be weakest amongst those guys.
What would one expect if told to get off of a friend and they try to attack that said friend? Get attacked by the one who told them to get off. Doflamingo was aware of that. He attacked Smoker thinking he would be fast enough to finish him off but he wasn't and was casually frozen. Doflamingo manages to escape from the ice but he was
heavily panting. If it was casual, he wouldn't be panting. Jozu/Marco took attacks from Mihawk/Kizaru that certainly weren't casual like Aokiji but they looked much better than him. Doflamingo told he doesn't want to fight Aokiji and that if he can't stop Smoker right now, he would have to change his plans. It seems to me that you were the one to misread the situation.
No, you got it wrong. If that was Mihawk, nobody would say he's an Admiral level because an
Admiral level wouldn't look as bad as Doflamingo who took a casual Admiral attack. In fact, if that were to happen, the guy wouldn't even be worthy of a challenge for Zoro who'll be one of the people to take down an Admiral during the big war. It doesn't happen to people on the same level. Luffy and Zoro who are on the same level fought and dished out one of their stronger moves and they both looked equally good. Rayleigh faced an Admiral who was much more serious than the one Doflamingo faced and he looked a lot better. When did Aokiji say say that? Because by that logic, Doflamingo is above Shanks, Kaido, Big Mom, Blackbeard. I don't think he ever said that because it doesn't even make any sense.
I'm talking about the time Fujitora was merely testing his abilities when they were at Green Bit. Doflamingo was every bit as worried as Law from an Admiral
barely trying out his ability.
He stopped him thanks to Jozu being
caught off guard. If he truly was on Jozu's level, why have Jozu be caught off guard so that Doflamingo can have the upper hand? We've seen how the Yeti Cool brothers caught Zoro/Sanji off guard and got the upper hand. Are you going to argue they are on M3 Level and even above as well seeing as they came out on top? Doflamingo never came out

from the war.
Because that seems to be the likeliest thing to happen. It's been heavily foreshadowed since 1997. Why should I assume otherwise when nothing implies otherwise? The same logic can be applied to Blackbeard/Akainu etc. Since Oda foreshadowed Luffy is going to beat those guys, is it then right to assume other SN's will defeat them? When nothing hints towards that? For example, we know Luffy plans to wipe the floor with all of the Emperors which Shanks, the guy he wants to surpass, is part of. Oda foreshadowed that Shanks and Co will have a fight against Blackbeard and Co. One of those two will happen before the other, but you can't lean towards more than the other. Mihawk doesn't have to be Zoro's last opponent but his toughest like how Blackbeard will be to Luffy.
So why are you putting Kuma above Law/Doflamingo/Boa who all have better feats than him and not worse hype? Isn't that what your list is based on? Or is he on top because you like him more than those guys?
