++ Pure comedy how he argues against the very player he says was the
most gifted of the open era... the same guy that calls Fed the most

That was 4 yrs ago - Mac has recanted that plenty of times. Simple truth is Fed is not close to Mac's pure genius. Roger is far more robotic & wooden at the net where true genius/reflex skills are required - he simply doesn't have it. You're comparing him in the context of last 5 yrs - yes in that context he is amazing, but don't insult true tennis fans & compare him to the pure genius of McEnroe.
