    Is Claressa Shields really the Greatest Female Boxer of all time?

    She claims to be the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time) but with only 10 fights to her name can she really make that claim?

    In the years and years of female boxing that have existed has no one truly been better?

    Not claiming to be an expert in female pugilism, but I reckon Cecilia Braekhus is an easy gwoat so far.

      It's a highly debatable and intriguing question but I think the even greater question is this: Who the hell cares?

          No offence but female boxing is total garbage so nobody is the greatest at anything.

            That's the name I'd go with too. She's the only female undisputed champion so far. Lucia Rijker would be up there too. Interesting Claressa has been moving down in weight though. I've only heard of that being done in MMA previously and even then only once or maybe twice.

                They're both up there too. I believe they just went into the hall of fame this year.

                    Ali was a fraud. And was considered as such during her day.

                    Wolf was the real deal.

                    Also worth noting, Ali ducked Wolf into retirement.
