Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields Explains Her GWOAT Mindset

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Claressa Shields has endured plenty of criticism over her career-long "GWOAT" (Greatest Woman of All Time) claim as it relates to female boxers. The two-time Olympic Gold medalist and two-division champion in the pro ranks certainly looked the part in a tour-de-force performance over Christina Hammer this past Saturday in Atlantic City.

It’s a small group. Anne wolf, manny steward said Lucia Riker, some like Laila Ali then coal miners daughter way downhill after these

I have no issue with a fighter wanting to hype their achievements. Claressa might end up being the greatest female boxer of all time.

But there has to be at least a general understanding of the scope of her achievement. There are 32 professional female middleweight fighters in the world. If she moved up to Super middleweight there are only 22.

In the context of her opponents she is clearly a level above but the comments about her going on some kind of inter gender p4p list sound like political correctness gone insane.

Claressa Shields looked great. Would love to see Shields/Ali in a fantasy match up.

She will never be a PPV attraction. Laila Ali vs. Jacqui Frazier did 125K PPVs back when they fought, and they had their daddy's names to promote that fight. Shields is not marketable. Her fights are not exciting, she is a shrill angry big mouth, and not at all attractive. No one will care who she fights, when she fights, or how many she fights.

Nah I was saying you and Time would give her a run for her money for the GWOAT title.

She just cleaned her division out and outclassed the second best fighter in her division and would do the same at 168!

If she can get ahold of Cecilia at 154 then she’s well on her way!

She is too ugly, like really toe up. She shoukd try tennis cuz animal looks exactly like serena williams.
