Then neither can Shanks.
Shanks is one of the four emperors of the sea, Mihawk is a measly Shichibukai.

So Mihawk, the WSS, can't beat an admiral, even though one of the admirals is a swordsman? Do you also think that Shanks can't defeat an admiral?
Swordsmanship can only make Mihawk competent to a certain extent; Shanks is one of the four emperors of the sea.

Being a Yonkou is about more than individual strength. Shanks is a Yonkou because he conquers territories in the New World. Mihawk doesn't do any of that, he doesn't even have a crew. Even if Mihawk is as strong as a Yonkou, he wouldn't be counted as one, for that reason.

Lmao, I love how many of us conveniently ignored Rayleigh as well as Shiki, who're among the characters who battled admiral level fighters in canon.

OT:It's pretty much the same as many others have pointed out; The only possible options at this point in manga are The Yonko, The late Pirate King,Rayleigh, Mihawk, Sengoku, Garp, Shiki, Dragon, Kong, the admirals and possibly the strongest CP-0 members. All of em are in their respective peaks, of course.

If it's about their current status; It'd be, The current Yonko, current admirals, Kuzan, Mihawk, Dragon and possibly the strongest CP-0 members.

Do you meant to say "swordsmanship is useless against the fighters other than swordsmen or something?"

Yonko, Garp, Sengoku, Mihawk, Dragon.
I'm curious to see if people think Doffy could or not. I believe it was you who pointed out he broke out of Aokiji's ice fairly easily, and he intended to get rid of Fujitora had he won at Dressrosa(though there's no proof that would have been a 1v1 scenario). I saw you mentioned Mihawk(who I know should by all means be stronger than Doffy) and it got me curious if people think any other shichibukai could win.

I also think which admiral may play an important role in the decision as well. Idk why or if it's accurate but I feel more people will say someone could beat Aokiji,Kuzan or Fujitora before they'd say they can beat Akainu.

To the people saying Sabo, I like him but, he already lost to Fujitora who a lot of people I've seen think is the weaker of the Admirals we know for whatever reason. (Fyi, pretty sure Fuji would beat Kizaru)

Not sure. I'm positive he can't beat them, but I think he could push them to high diff at best. He's had feats similar and arguably as good as Fujitora's at times, but eh, I see him as being inferior in stature since Kaido called him too weak.
