    Carlissa is an arrogant geeza. Can not stand the bloke. I hope Marshall chins him.

    Fury offsets his proclamations (as did Ali) with a world of personal charm and eccentricity that Shields does not possess. It may seem unfair, but you've either got the stuff to pull it off or you don't. Self-awareness goes a long way.

    No I don’t actually. He’s quite charming and has a great sense of humour unlike the other bloke we’re talking about

    That's like having never heard of Lomachenko but making a p4p list.

    Your actually going to say that Tyson fury is not arrogant? Do you understand the definition of the word?

    Is that really important though? Are we not just fans of a sport?

    That vid makes Shields look like a beast, absolutely toying with her

    I personally dislike Shields but she is a much better fighter than Taylor. Obviously h2h but even p4p.

    Taylor might be a bigger star but very overrated fighter. She surely gets an absolute ass whooping soon. Not just a beating like against the smaller chick she tried to weight bully.

    Being a draw/star is good for the $$$ but doesn't make you great.

    Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but we all gravitate to or root for fighters we like (as well as vice versa), at least to some degree or other. It’s easy to see why a lot of people find Shields a difficult character to get behind.

    Taylor should already have one L. Is she ever going to rematch that girl?

    That isn't what you said.

    You said, and I quote, 'Clarissa (sic) shields is the best female boxer in the world that's for certain'.

    That isn't the same as saying nobody in her weight range can beat her. If you call somebody the best male or female boxer in the world, you're saying p4p, implicitly.

    She joins a long list of boxers who have repeatedly showed some combination of despicable, ignorant, arrogant, or in some way prejudice views.

    So what?

    Floyd, Pacquiao, Joshua, Fury, countless more are in that same exact boat or much worse. Don't forget Muhammad Ali who nobody ought to "like" as a person based on many things he has said.

    Carlos Monzon killed a woman, Joe Louis apparently was a woman beater... What can I say, they are two of my absolute favorite boxers.
