    Say Gilberto beats Bivol and Canelo.
    Unifies 175

    Moves to cruiser and does ok

    Is that enough to rank higher p4p than Canelo?

    Bivol, Beterbiev and Canelo are three really great wins. If he did that and won a title at CW, then retired, yeah I would easily rank him above Canelo

    Yes, it's possible, but there is no chance he ever does. He'd need to unify 175 and get a couple great wins at cruiser.

    Yes.

    Canelo’s achievements are depending on the case either slightly or severely overrated.

    Depends on how good you think the Russians are. He would basically be a 3 division champion if he did that. But his run at 168 was weak and cruiser weight is hardly any better even if he won a belt. Really it’s only 175 that you have a couple of decent fights to define a legacy.
