Hello, teachers!!

He was nothing if not a man of the world.
----->
I don't understand what the above sentence want to say. Would you explain it to me?

My guess:
He was nothing if not a man of the world.
=He was no more than a man of the world.
=He was an ordinary man.
=He is not a famous man.

Thank you in advance.
