■Today we will talk about Mihawk / Shanks with Proofs let's see each one :
●Mihawk is a Swordman who is famous before the Great Pirate Era even started ; he fought all the swordmen in the World until he doesn't find a worthy one who can push him and by then He becomes the WSS.
▪ He is Shanks Rival [ 宿敵 ]
■He got a black blade beside Ryuma ( the only two ).

▪ Yoru :
<<One of the twelve legendary swords, and it's Mihawk's Favorite Sword, a black sword characterized by unparalleled Hardness>>
<<「最 上 大業 物 十 ニ エ」の一振りで、ミホークの愛刀。
比類なき硬さを誇る黒刀。 >>
■ Shanks as Mihawk Rival obtained his Yonko Title 6 years ago and he is a swordman who fought ( Mihawk ) or clashed in panels( WB / Akainu / MarineFord Scene - Ace ) with his Famous Sword gryphon .
[ Gryphon ]​
<< it's a sword which has a long history of battles, managed to stop a Magma Fist and is characterized by its wonderful elegance >>
【グリフォン】​
<< 歴戦を共にした愛刀。マグマの拳を止める強靭さと鷲獅子の優美さを誇る。>>
■Once upon a time, Mihawk fought fiercely as a rival with Shanks.
<< かつてはシャンクスと、ライバルとして激しく争った事もある。>>

■Their Duels was mentioned by WB as legendary battles when he had 2 arms.

☆Oda used Mihawk's name in chapter 96 also in Ace novel to hype Shanks.
■ Note : For Ppl who are claiming Shanks isn't a swordman .

☆ We saw Shanks as a kid using a sword
☆ Against shiki he used a sword .
☆ Against mihawk he used a sword.
☆ When he sensed Ace coming he reached for his sword .
☆ Ace novel stated when shanks Coc wasn't enough to make Ace unconscious he grabbed his sword
☆ He has a named sword called gryphon
☆ He clashed against WB with his sword
☆ He Blocked Akainu with his sword
☆ He Challenged Marineford by brandishing his sword .
■ But to help Luffy he lost his dominant arm .
■ There is a Statement from the Magazine which implied Shanks losing Power after he lost his dominant arm .
<< Even with one arm ;
His power is overwhelming >> .
■ There is a statement from the Red Databook which implied Shanks was once as powerful as the WSS .

<< Shanks was once as powerful as the world's best swordsman. >>

<< シャンクスはかって、世界一の剣豪と肩を並べたほどの実力を持つ。>>
■ You can translate it if you want or ask someone who will translate it for you but there is someone who translated it and mentioned
<< Used to be >> which implies that Shanks lost his power after losing his arm despite being a Yonko and if we analyse it it makes sense
▪A Yonko two armed shanks has to be stronger than a Yonko one armed Shanks .
-If you lost a limb only if you have a DF power then you will regenerate it or remplace it like kidd's DF ability but shanks never showed any df power and you will find him with one arm in his clashes .
■Another confirmation:
▪Mihawk's VC:
<<He not only distinguishes a person’s talent from the sword, but he can also see the true strength of those who stand before him>>
▪That's why he was the first person to discover the declining strength of WB in MF and luffy's true strength
▪ So how can't the person who knows the full strength of the other person and he is the same one who saw through luffy's true power and WB's strength know Shanks true and full strength ??
▪You won't find this statement in Artur library because
i think he didn't translate it also the same for that statement of oda about Zoro's fights against Monet and Pica but nevermind you will find the Arabic Community translating that:
(it's in Arabic)

■Direct Statement from the VC:
<<"Hawk's eyes" that every Swordman is afraid of is looking forward to the arrival of a swordman who surpasses "red hair" ...!>>

<< 剣を業とする全ての者が畏れる「鷹の目」は、か つて刃を交えた「赤髪」を凌ぐ使い手の到来を、未来に見据えている…!>>
● As You can see the VC implied two things :
▪ Every Swordman is afraid of Mihawk .
( Vista included )
▪ Mihawk is waiting for a swordman stronger than Red Hair.
☆After all these proofs we can conclude one thing and which is :
- there is no such a thing like Shanks >= Mihawk
● there is only one fact :
Mihawk is stronger than Yonko Shanks

● thanks a lot to @Hawk__93 @KingofDark58 for providing me with panels and other things .
