No where near as weak as women’s boxing.
No need to be a captainsaveahoe

There's more women boxers worldwide than women MMA fighters I'd bet.

Yeah and if I was a female then males would pay for my dinner (well if I was a woman I'd be a lesbian - no butches or dykes thx).

She is right though. If she was a male she'd be much more talented in every way and therefore more worthwhile watching. Her opponents would also be of a much higher class.

It's like those guys who play basketball in wheelchairs saying "If I was able bodied and 7ft3 more people would watch me play basketball!". Yeah no chit Sherlock, it ain't anyone's fault you are disabled/female (same thing when it comes to sport really).

The only thing you've proven is that you're a tender and sensitive brit who is obsessed with me. Just stop, it's getting as embarrassing as watching khan get highlight reel ko'd all of the time.

As i say, you're one of the most deluded people I've ever come across on any boxing forum. And that's saying a lot considering. You come across like one of those American kids on Xbox Live who are about 9 years old. You know the sort.

But yeah, you stay insane now, you hear me? Bye bye.

It means she's right to think she is world class. Because she is.

No one is holding that against her.

Maybe if she was a MMA fighter. There's no audience for women's boxing. I actually enjoy women's MMA. Nunes, Cyborg, Thug Rose, Joanna Jedrzejczyk...etc These women are all huge stars and exciting fighters.

Well, you kind of were. You said she thought she was world class just because she's American.

When she actually has every right to think she's world class because of the two gold medals and world championship belts in two weight classes.

Yes I have aunties, also Mother and Nan all adored/enjoy boxing but? Male dominated boxing. 'Boxing and combat sports are unlike many other sports, and like I stated in my first post? Women seem to be more likely to support male athletes'.

My Mum has strong opinions on fighters such as Barry Mcguigan, Chris Eubank and Frank Bruno. My Aunty mentioned to me that she is not fond of Amir Khan, but liked Prince Naseem Hamed 'Boxing is the last working class sport, and it is a national past time' It is going to be difficult for women's boxing to have the same impact of what men's boxing has throughout history. 'For a very long time, boxing was the biggest sport in the world' It was only during the mid-70's/80's when other sports fully became professional did that situation change'.

I am 100% in agreement with you, when I said that it was just a small little tale I remembered.

Boxing has Cecilia Braekhus, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano, Yessica Bopp, up and comers like Mikaela Mayer and Seniesa Estrada etc.
