Yes that could be an issue. But also anyone calling themselves the goat is allowed to have “haters” which may just be people that do not have the same opinion. Winning an undisputed title in a weight class with less than 30 professional fighters can lead to a discussion. I think she is right imo but I haven’t looked into it much, I could be wrong, and it’s ok to disagree

I support Claressa Shields 1000% but let's be honest women boxing has limited competition and it's weak at best! I believe she not in the same era as when Layla and Ann Wolf were fighting because they could go as well, but what we are seeing isn't enough development within the sport when it comes to women. I also believe that any fighter should let your work stand out not your voice. I will say this, if Claressa were not black she would be the greatest thing since slice bread and would earn much more than her worth currently that's the sad part about her career in my opinion. She currently is the GWOAT!

don't forget 2 back to back Olympic Gold Medals. People still have a problem giving Serena Williams, Simone Biles, and Clarissa Shields their props. You can read really nasty things about them online. What is the common denominator? Successful black women.

The Council of Andres have spoken!

No one cares about women's boxing really anyway. But I'm glad Ward is finding something to act upset about.

Some boxers stay humble, quiet and do their job, some run their mouths, are co. cky and act out. Both get hate, difference is the ones who bump their gums get hated on the most. Period

Well it only took until the second comment for the race card to be played.... People can disagree with others of a different race for reasons unrelated to race....
Now, back to boxing related info.

The common denominator is that they look like men and act co_cky.

Did they just ask every dude named Andre they could find?
