If he he hadn't retired, sure he'd probably be a Yonkou. However, like Whitebeard his era is over and is beginning to suffer from the ill effects of aging. He wouldn't survive difficult battle with powerful enemies. Like Whitebeard, his handicap is age, in a legit battle like the Whitebeard War he would be targeted and killed just like Whitebeard was.
