people will call floyd mayweather or andre ward the best boxer on earth, but there's no way they could handle anthony joshua or wladimir klistchko

so in that sense, calling serena #1 is understandable, even if she wouldn't beat everyone she was matched against


I don't know much about boxing but I still think this is a bad analogy.

The point isn't that Serena can't beat 100% of men she might be hypothetically matched against. The point is that she couldn't beat anyone in the Top 50 (uncontroversial) - 700 (maybe controversial).

My guess is that Floyd Mayweather probably could beat, or at least could be competitive against, the #500 heavyweight boxer in the world.

You could cut things however you wanted to for Serena - by weight, by playing style, by surface, by whatever. It doesn't matter. The top 100 men at any given variable among those will still smoke her.
