    Did you know there are only 27 active female HW boxers?

    I did a little looking and according to boxrec there are 27 active female HW boxers, apparently the IBF is the only sanctioning body who has a female version of the HW title and Loni Daniels who is the current holder is simultaneously the IBF womens LHW champion.

    I'm going to see if I can find some video of her fights.

      Yes I did. A number of the weight classes only have a handful of registered boxers worldwide, yet there are 4+ belts in each weight class.

      Which is why women's boxing has zero credibility.

            Everything after super middleweight is poor. But having LHW woman or above becomes not very feminine in general (for the average female height, as girls are in general less interested in martial arts and more interested in athletics and/or other sports, especially when they're tall and taller than the average man) and in particular doesn't seem to fit women in this sport and martial arts in general, even though heavier women are more present in grappling styles (wrestling, judo, sambo, BJJ). You can find heavier women in other sports better than in boxing. It is a thing that isn't that simple to analyze and discuss.

              I'm sure every boxing fan wants to meet these heavyweight chicks. Got any pictures? Personally I am a fan of the women's pin weight division!,

                One of the female boxers in our gym became an amateur state, regional then national champion without fighting.

                    Everything above 140lbs in female boxing is an wasteland and offers no competitive field. Most of the women between 154lbs to 168lbs have less than 5 fights or having losing records. 147lbs is only slightly better.
