    You probably think trans females should compete with females

    Shields can definitely finished of Usyik but I don’t think she’s his cup of tea.

    I'm a firm believer that female athletes should compete in one gender-fluid environment. The reason is that when they don't, they run around claiming they would beat the men, it's been happening ever since 'female lib' movements in the 60s and only accelerated since. They need to be given this opportunity to be humbled, so let them compete with the men.

    What I know is that in certain other sports, high-level amateur male players at high school/college age have easily beaten top female pros.

    But maybe boxing/mma is different because of the fighting spirit of liberated women. So there's only one way to find out.

    As a transgender female here, I'd say tennis and golf only.

    Yes you are. You're very wrong and I probably am for wanting to see it too.

    Any top fifty welterweight sparks this ***** in three rounds. Usyk literally kills her in three rounds. Moot point because he’s a gentleman and doesn’t fight ladies. Tank would take this fight. She may have a shot.

    The OP's fishing net has landed a huge catch on this thread.

    Journeyman Bob would beat her. Woman cannot compete with men in sport ESPECIALLY fighting sports they are literally 50% weaker.

    What kind of a thread is this? Shields wins of course because Usyk would never bother taking the fight in the first place.

    You're utterly delusional. She couldn't compete with me.

    1. She doesn't even have the best skills out of her female peers.
    2. She's physically weak
    3. She has lower tier movement (which is oddly upper tier for her gender)
    4. She's a professional and Olympic gold medalist but doesn't know how to turn a punch over to get max power.
    5. She has decent speed compared to her contemporaries but she "flails".

    Her "skills" are most assuredly not better than most male boxers. She'd be a top 50-80 guy if she was a male that fought with her
    same exact style and as a female, someone smaller like Luis Nery would beat the bejesus out of her to put it in perspective. She can't compete with any world class males, not even regional class males.
