    Ali's done a bit politically to elevate women's boxing, but it feels like she could have done a lot more for the sport both in and out of the ring. The only thing (other than ducking Wolfe like crazy... well, it's not exactly crazy to avoid fighting Wolfe) I remember off-hand is Ali trying to get longer rounds instituted. If anything, women should be able to box longer rounds than men, but I never got the impression that she tried very hard on that front, either.

    What about having Lubjicker at #1? Or Christy Martion in there? Is there any names that were missed out?

    Probably one of the most finest women on the planet, she definitely won that one!

    Natasha rigozina vs ann wolfe would be the only worthwhile fight
    for women's boxing. Rigozina is a 6 foot smw with good boxing skills
    and good power. She's also undefeated.

    Not seen too many female fights,Lucia Rycker was good as was Chrysty Martyn.Jane Couch was decent as well.The opposition always seemed very limited when these girls fought though.

    She used to have relatively good skills but not anymore, have a look at her recent fights! She has become a disgrace, awful boxing on her behalf and disgusting robberies courtesy of the judges.
