Zoro at some point will surpass Mihawk.
The general consensus is that Mihawk is >= Shanks, as he holds the title of worlds strongest swordsman. Both of these guys are put in the admiral tier, but are generally perceived as stronger than most of them, despite being in the same tier.
So where does Zoro surpassing Mihawk put him by the end, and who do we compare him to? Is he above admiral level? I think he's still in the same tier as the aforementioned, but is still stronger. He beats them, but with extreme difficulty.
