    I think Ann could beat her. She was a better fighter and a much harder puncher wit over 60% KOs compared to 20% KOs for Shields. She fought better fighters in a better era for women's boxing. Right now there are only 35 women boxers in the middleweight division for women. But remember Ann is 49 and Shields is 24. Age takes it's told on all of a boxer's assets. Speed, skill, reaction time. stamina and power all lessen with age no matter how hard one trains. She might be too old to beat Shields now.

      Homie of all the boxers ever essentially only 2 have had success beyond age 45 and Foreman came back for ONE fight before retiring again.

      BHop was incredible but had good matchmaking...taking nothing away though. He stands alone in terms of longevity

        Foreman had four defenses after winning the title at age 45, what are you talking about?

        He lost the lineal title to Shannon Briggs at age 48 years, 318 days.

          No way, especially not now. Shields gets hate but she's a far better boxer than Wolfe was in her prime, though Wolfe has her beat in the power department by far. Now it's not even a competition.

            Foremon? ATG Foremon that guy?

            That was a rare situation, why it was so special at the time

                George Foreman, yes.



                He fought originally until he was 28, retired until he was 38, then returned, stayed active and retired again at 48.

                  Would be more interested in an UFC Nunes fight or Laila Ali just cause.

                      Foreman was active at that time. He didn't just jump back in the ring after 10 years against top competition. It's not comparable to Shields situation.
