Other top women's boxing champions such as Ann Wolfe (24-1), Vonda Ward (23-1), Leatitia Robinson (15-2),[25] and Natascha Ragosina (22-0) have claimed in interviews that they have challenged Ali many times over the years, but Ali found ways of avoiding them. Boxing writers and fans have repeatedly expressed disappointment in Ali's perceived ducking the top contenders throughout her career.[26][27][28][29] However, Ali has contended that other boxers want unrealistic amounts of money and "play themselves right out of the deal" during negotiations intentionally because their names will have no value after they've fought Ali.[30]
Yeah, she beat sum ok names in her time....ali/wolfe was equivalant to what martin/rijker, braukus/holm would have been.too bad none of these superfights never happened
Other than Mia St John, she has been the only female draw I've seen in my lifetime. Rousey dwarfs both of them in terms of drawing power for a female fighter though. Ali was way more of a hypejob than the other two though.
