To the extent that you can find people who would beat Mayweather, I'm pretty sure the response by most people (including Mayweather himself) would be "Yes, that's true. But given Mayweather's genetics (to include things like size and weight) it's physically impossible for him to be competitive against highly skilled individuals of different genetics."

Care to find a feminist willing to say that about Serena?

That's the point here. It's not really Floyd's fault that he can't beat heavyweights. And it's not really Serena's fault she can't beat men. It's simple genetics.

Why is that uncontroversial when it comes to size, but the most controversial thing on Earth when it comes to gender?


I think the point is that no one questions calling Floyd the best today purely based on his dominance in his genetically predisposed divisions, even though there are a number of people he couldn't beat. But people do get up in arms if someone says the same thing about Serena.

Maybe she's the best Pound-for-Pound tennis player and that's what people really mean but there's no terminology for that in tennis?
