Claressa Shields has NEVER been undisputed

See how much I care.







That much.

 

Women's boxing? Who cares.

 

Unpopular take but I think holding 3 of the 4 major belts should count for something, everybody who became undisputed before the 2000's only captured 3 titles so yeah I that it should be taken into account somehow.

 

She has, boxrec doesn’t recognize WBA anymore. She was undisputed at 154 and twice at 160.

 

Shields can claim to be whatever she likes because at the end of the day she is just a big fish in a small pond.
Once she retires she will likely be forgotten about within a couple of years.

 

Shields won the WBA in 2 different weight classes. DYOR

 

No one forgets about the top fighter of a generation

 

When it's all said and done Katie Taylor will be remembered and held in a higher regard than the self proclaimed GWOAT.

 

And Serrano.

 

I think Shields will be. She doesn´t have a memorable fight or any rivalries. Nor is she that popular.
It´s beyond me why Shields has not been on a single PPC PPV.

Claressa is talented, and she cam up in the right time, unfortunately for her she is simply too big physically. The divisions she fights in have barely any competition. Shields just won the WBO heavyweight belt. Well, the WBO had previously only sanctioned two fights at that weight, both in 2019. The other belt was the WBC, which has sanctioned only 8 fights at the weight.
The whole division has just 24 active boxers listed on boxrec, 8 of whom have never won a fight. 1 is 2-2 and 3 others have lost more fights than they have won. So that leaves 12 active boxers who have more wins than losses.

Super middle, middle and jr-middle are similar stories. Quite a few belts that Shields won, had never been contested for before. The organizations made their belts available just for her. Which Shields does kinda deserve credit for, but just shows how weak the divisions are.

Meanwhile lightweight alone has roughly 200 active boxers, which is more than the combined sum of every division Shields has fought in.

 

Wikipedia is right there.

 

Still da GWOAT… for now
She should fight Baungardnrr for title
of “Queen B”

 

She the GWOAT.

But that's like being the MVP in Canadian football.
