I don't think so since it was somewhat clear he wanted no part of Aokiji when they met in Punk Hazard and even LESS of Kaido or at least that's how it came off. He's clearly powerful and I'd say very much on par with guys like Marco, but for him to be close to Yonkou just kind of devalues the title a a bit no?
For me that was a calculated retreat, don't think he would have beaten Aokiji, but would have given him a hell of a fight , knowing a loss was likely and he still had Dressrosa and his Black Market deals to worry about , I felt he decided not to push the issue.
