    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.

    If Usyk beats Fury this may be all that's left to challenge himself. Lmao

    Billie beat a 50+ yr old man, it's well known that the top women can't compete with men in tennis.

    That doesn't make them less talented or anything, it's just a different category.

    You're not wrong. I think Usyk would struggle with the combination of skills and athleticism. Not to mention her confidence and mentality are next next level.

    Shields UD... possibly a late stoppage, though that would be a bit surprising I admit. Usyk probably goes down late but he's all heart and with his footwork probably survives to the final bell.

    Speaking of...

    am i wrong thinking laila ali could compete with her dad if both were prime? Her dad lost plenty of times, while conversely there's no blueprint for laila. Undefeated.

    Interesting matchups.

    Go to the emergency room immediately, and ask them to give you a brainscan.

    Without wanting to answer before watching the whole video. And now that i have watched it, WOW even Charlie Z would be competitive against her. Yes, she is the WOMENS champion but any man from flyweight up hurts her.
