    Precisely. But the problem is one of these days someone is gonna make one if these matches. Or stick a female Heavyweight in against a male minimum weight just to prove a point. Only result is disaster.

    Ridiculous. Also the Billie Jean king thing.... She played Vs Bobby Riggs who was 55 at the time... And Riggs, who at the time was living a torrid lifestyle physically and mentally, was considered favourite.... When Riggs came out in the first few sets he showcased his talent over the number 1 female tennis player of the age.... Then shockingly lost several on the bounce.... Later it became apparent that Riggs had cashed in on betting odds to settle his considerable gambling debts owed to the mob. Serena Williams (a better player than king) also had a singles match Vs a male tennis player... Where she soundly lost.... And has since stated that she could not compete with men in tennis as the serves are far too fast.

    Even Sunny Edwards would smash her up.

    She couldn't compete if they served underhand. Riggs was definitely a hustler and con artist. People forget he had already beaten Margaret Court leading up to this match.

    Billie Jean King was 29 when she played against a 55 year old man. Shields is what 11st 7lbs.....any ranked male 2 stone lighter would beat her to a pulp nevermind one who is approx 4 stone heavier and as highly skilled as Uysk. Most farcical thread ive read on this forum....and there has been plenty!!!

    Clarissa Shields is a ****ing BEAST. We all know this. Do I think she can hang with Usyk? Absolutely not. That's not any disrespect towards Clarissa at all. She's an all-time great in her field. So is Usyk, though. Usyk's fought bigger names as well.

    She has an impressive 15% KO rate, I think she would stop Usyk.

    If she was that good, then she would be fighting and sparring men.

    Reality is, even someone like Paulie Malignaggi could knock her TF out. Even now in 2023.
