What kind of purpose would it serve for the story, for characters in the story, for the whole lore or fandom of the Metal Gear Franchise, or for anyone else that matter?

Secondly, why would anyone want this in your face kind of plot twist? Personally I can kind of think two possible reasons:

1) Being super hard-core Gray Fox-fan. Though even then hoping this theory happening would be kind of weird, cause wouldn't you rather be playing Gray Fox as Gray Fox, than Gray Fox pretending to be somebody else to a point you can't really tell it's actually Gray Fox? In my oppinion, if this theory were to be true, that would be kind of demeaning to both Big Boss and Gray Fox, as former would let someone else risk their ass and do his missions for him and latter would only get in the spotlight of main characterhood for the excuse of pretending to be other, already established main character.

And the second possible reason:

2) Some desperate fans are still clinging to any kind of excuse they can think of for David Hayter to be in this game as "real Big Boss", no matter if said reason would weaken the overall story and wouldn't make any sence. Like I have said before, the Metal Gear Solid franchaise has always been filled with ridiculous fan theories. Remeber the people saying that in MGS3 you play as a time travelling Solid Snake just becasue of the "Time Paradox screen", or people saying that in MGS4 Old Snake is actually a Body double for Solid Snake becasue Old Snake is old and has a mustache, or I even read once a theory that said that in MGR Revengance you only play as Raiden during the prologue and the rest of the game you play as a different Cyborg pretending to be Raiden.

Actually all these ridiculous theories sound as if they were made up by the same person :P
