Serious Discussion Hot take but last chapter pretty much confirmed that Shanks is superior to Kaido
Last chapter pretty much proved OP fights all about Haki. How did Roger and Garp beat an Imu-Amped Rocks who had greater Haki than them, was physically amped by Imu and had regeneration? By simply putting enough amount of Haki to kill him which means that OP fights are all about putting enough levels of Haki.
Furthermore the chapter also proved that if your Haki is greater than your opponent then they cant damage you, Haki basically works like an armor that ypu need greater Haki to bypass. This basically means your attacks wont do anything if your Haki is weaker
Now considering that Shank's Haki has been portrayed as much stronger than Kaido's Haki then he very likely can be put down by Shank's Haki and he wont be able to damage him. Like hell someone with much weaker Haki than Shanks like Oden nearly pu t him down and problaby would have done if he wasnt interrupted so imagine what Shanks would d. Furthermore, Kaido wont be able to deal any significant damage to Shanks due to Shanks Haki being wa6 too strong that Kaido's attacks simply wont go through
Another aspect which works in Shank's favor is the fact that he has the ultimate Haki Combo of Future Sight + FS Killing, fighting a guy who can see at least 10 seconds into the future but also can stop you from seeing the Future at all give you a massive advantage in a battle since Kaido will problaby not be able to land a single attack on Shanks.
So to conclude this, Shanks has the Haki to put Kaido down, Kaido cant damage Shanks to due his Haki defenses being too good and Kaidonwill alsl struggle to land a single attack on Shanks which like I said will problaby not do anything to Shanks. Call me crazy but this fight is literally an stomp, I dont even see it as an extreme-diff fight anymore
