Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields: I Am The Greatest Woman of All-Time!

[The D3vil]

Laila Ali or Anne Wolf would be favorites against her.

Why?

Did either of them win 2 Olympic Gold Medals?

I love claressa. But would she beat ann wolfe, or laila? I saw laila live. I'm still stuck on how good looking she was, so all i recall of the fight was it was a 4 round beat down... Lucia rijker was a hell of of a fighter too, although smaller.

I think she would.

She's the only 2 time Gold Medalist in women's history.

Women boxing is crap so it doesn't say much if you call yourself the best. Just shut up you arrogant bytch.

Then why do you care if she calls herself the best?

She comes off a little bit to arrogant to me. Ann Wolfe was 165 lbs. Lala Ali was I think around 160. Ali retired at 24-0, 21 stoppages. Wolfe retired at 24-1, 16 stoppages. I wonder what Ali and Wolfe thought when they heard her say that. Does Shields beat those 2 fighters? I don’t think so.

Neither of them beat anybody as well regarded as Christina Hammer, who was undefeated and a champ for 8 1/2 years.

Neither of them won 2 Olympic Gold Medals.

They fought when women's boxing was in it's infancy.

They probably wouldn't beat Hanna Gabriels.

female version of deontay

She's nothing like Deontay.

She's closer to Tyson Fury than Deontay.

Or is skin color the only thing you see.

You ****** casuals make me wanna puke. Go marry that bytch if you such a ****** fangirl.

She said in an interview she likes that phrase the same way Muhammed Ali used to do it during his career. Muhammed Ali said it even before he was a champ because he believed he was the greatest.

History probably has proved Ali right. That was also 50 years ago. Things change, roll with the change. Beating yourself in the chest screaming I'm the greatest is a bit out there these days, IMO. Btw, in what other profession would that fly. Can you imagine a doctor saying:"I'm the greatest doctor ever"? Just doesn't translate very well and in their profession confidence is not less important. Let others say that. And just because Ali did it, it doesn't make it, right, you know. On more than one occasion he was quite an ******* in the way he talked to his opponents.

she's gonna make a **** ton of money being irritating as **** a la Rousey

She can back you her mouth though, unlike Ronda.

Crazy amount of haters in here. Shields is fantastic.

I was quoting some poster who said "they will have to match Claressa against males very soon, they are running out of opposition"

which would be a very dumb thing to do, as she would get battered and ridiculed

And we wouldn’t use the same weight class?

If Hammer makes it into the International Hall of Fame one day I would agree with that. But Ali beat Christy Martin who became the first female boxer inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016. When they fought Martin was 45-2-2 with 30 TKO’s/KO’s.
I seriously doubt if Hammer would have beaten Christy Martin. And who did Christina Hammer actually beat before Shields in those 8 1/2 years-NOBODY. Again, Ali was 24-0 with 21 TKO/KO fighting 2 minute rounds also.

Ann Wolfe beat Vonda Ward who was 18-0 with 15 TKO/KO and 6-6 when they fought. She stopped her in the 1st round with a vicious shot. Wolfe finished her career at 24-1 with 16 TKO/KO fighting 2 minute rounds also. Wolfe’s sole loss came in her 7th pro fight. After that she went 19-0 with 11 TKO/KO’s.

And they both would have EASILY BEATEN Gabriels whose best win on her resume was against Oxandia Castillo in a rematch after losing to her in Castillo’s first fight as a pro.

And just because you win an Olympic gold medal doesn’t mean you are a great boxer or better boxer than someone that hasn’t. For example, in men’s boxing, there were 9 gold medalist in the Super HW division but only Wladimir Klitschko and Lennox Lewis went on to have great pro careers. There were 25 HW’s that won gold but only George Forman and Joe Frazier had great careers. 23
At LHW and only Ali and Andre Ward had great careers. 24 won gold at MW but only Michael Spinks and Floyd Patterson has great pro careers. The list goes on and on. And Guillermo Rigondeaux won (2) gold medals. How is he making out now?


My rep here is double yours with almost the same number of posts for a reason. You don’t know boxing. Pretty weak arguments by you!!!

They are both delusional as hell, more than Amir Khan

[chaosking]

She made a woman that everyone said would beat her, even the polls said hammer would win. Along with other reason and standards that have long been with America, maybe that’s why one would choose hammer over their own “American”. We all know what’s going on. But now that she beat her in dominate fashion, everyone is trying to say that hammer isn’t that good or didn’t know what to do. Stop making excuses. It’s like this site is filled with casuals with a lot of hereditary hatred in their hearts. Only the real know what’s going on. But some one continue to play your game.

You do know that we are individuals here? You are talking like we are one big collective opinion, some people have narratives but so do you with a comment like that.

I got a tie between Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, and Catherine the Great. Shields isn't even top 50 in my book.

Jenna Jameson has to be on that list too

[PoserExposer]

You obviously don’t know anything about them or you’d know about their KO power. Shields is as pillow fisted as Paulie Malignaggi was. The overwhelming contingency of hall of fame boxers never went to the Olympics let alone win two gold medals. Moot point guy...
