I don't think so.

He didn't have the stage presence, or the good looks of Presley, which were a significant advantage over Holly. Neither could you imagine Holly as a "romantic lead" in popular musical films
Holly was a prolific songwriter and would have had an enduring career as such.

Had Buddy Holly lived he would likely have been as adventurous as the Beatles and Brian Wilson in the sixties, and may have spurred them on to even greater things (if that's possible) and they him.

Would he have been bigger than Elvis? No, I don't think so.

Too gawky and sometimes unfairly seen as whitebread.
