Comments Thread For: Laila Ali on Facing Shields: I Must Be Inspired By Opponent, Purse

[PBR Streetgang]

Can't really blame anyone in this situation. The real problem is an absolute lack of depth in women's boxing. Shields was fighting top contenders, and regional/world titles in her first handful of fights. I saw most of these matchups and the skill level of these "contenders" left alot to be desired.

Claressa dropped weight to go after the next relevant name near her in weight - Christina Hammer. Hammer looks impressive punching a bag or a stationary opponent but looked absolutely dreadful in that fight. Couldn't handle pressure whatsoever. If Hammer was even remotely competitive, they would have tried to squeeze out a rematch just to get some buzz or rivalry going.

Claressa trying to generate any kind of buzz and looking for any kind of meaningful purse...even if it means calling out ancient Laila Ali.

Clarathead shields Floyd wilder they all listen to Haymon which is probably why all talk sht and cherry pick opponents. He already ruined wilders career.

Savannah Marshall

Clarissa Shields should be fighting Marshall rather than a 42 year old.
Marshall beat her in the amateurs and has the skills and physicality to do it again.

Clarissa Shields behaving just like Deontay "id beat mike tyson in his prime" Wilder. She should be ashamed calling out a retired great. Can't wait for a someone to drop this man looking hoodrat.

So, I am a Loser. Sorry, but you need to understand the importance of no calling belittle nicknames to the boxers who sacrifice for us. I hope one day, you learn this important lesson.
