Comments Thread For: Laila Ali Teases Ring Return For Superfight With Claressa Shields

[markther]

If anyone really believes Ali would beat Shields, just watch some of her fights on YouTube. I want Ali to beat shields because it would make for a great story all the way around but she isn’t beating shields from what I watched the other night. Anne Wolfe would have killed Ali too. Just YouTube past fights for Laila Ali. Shields would embarrass her especially at her age. They both would make a ton of money though.

Laila would have schooled Shields during her prime time..y wld Shields call her now wen shez now old..bad matchup.. challenge Savannah Marshall or Cederoos then u b called the GWOAT

She last fought when the first iPhone was released.......13 years ago.

Laila Ali is a post-wall old woman now, trying to recapture her glory years.

Ali was a straight puncher who was crushing people in one sided fights. If Foreman could come back after a decade long retirement and push a prime Holyfield to the limit then Ali can push Shields.

i would love to see this match up but i dont know if it'll be fair since laila hasnt fought in a while.

Laila Ali is naturally alot heavier than Shields, so to make it fair, they would need to work out a deal that allows Ali to come in at any weight she wants, while Shields has to weigh in at her usual weight.

Despite more than a decade off, Laila Ali is younger than Floyd Mayweather.

Foreman & Fury retired in their 20s too and came back and became champs. She had a shorter career than those two, which means less wear and tear. Unlike those two, she didn't get out of shape. She has gained weight, but her post-boxing income has been writing books to women about how to mimic her healthy lifestyle (diet & exercise).

Due too her name, Laila Ali could make good money knocking out a couple of tomato cans. Her second fight back should be on the same card as Shields, then her 3rd fight should be billed as the GWOAT fight: Ali-Shields.

Layla should be fighting for legacy not income if she has plenty of income.
