Here are some battles/exchanges/well established opinions which we can take into account:
1. 4 Greats are equal. Zhou Botong is slightly stronger than 4 Greats.
2. Huang Yao Shi comment: Only Guo Jing XL18Z could match his palm powers.
3. GWM fought Yideng, and would have most definitely won if the battle dragged on.
4. Yang Guo sparring with Zhou Bo Tong: Do we interpret this battle as them being equal or Yang Guo being stronger? Was Yang Guo not giving his all?
Given the above, the final battle makes it seem like YG is a whole level ahead of the 4 Greats.
Final Battle 1st Part: Happy YG (who is unable to utilize full power of Sad Palms) manage to evenly match, and is even winning, against GWM? We can even argue that the YG here even weaker than normal YG in his fight against ZBT.
Final Battle 2nd Part: Sad YG was able to destroy GWM in relatively few moves.
That means:
Sad YG >>> YG > ZBT >> GWM >> 4 Greats
