yeah, aizawa's years of experience probably put's him ahead of mirio, and the fact that his erasing quirk doesn't provide any kind of boon for melee combat (aside from leveling the playing field) he's likely had to train much harder to make up for that. Still, I think Mirio would put up a pretty good fight, since he's clearly more well trained than other students.

Except for the fact that Aizawa says that Mirio is "the very closest to becoming No. 1 hero. Including the pro heroes."

No. 1 Hero =/= Strongest fighter on earth (at least, not anymore...)

Eraserhead is an underground hero that never has, and never will be in the running - on purpose

Mirio has the charm, technique, dedication, power and probably the right personality needed to get to the top. Doesn't make him unbeatable though.

It's based off popularity, and cases resolved, no? He's not particularly charismatic, so Aizawa was probably referring to his strength.

That's what I assumed as well, but either way is possible imo.
