    Claressa is undefeated and has won multiple worldchampionships in 3 weight classes so far. Laila Ali left a perfect record in tact.

    Claressa is only 24 years old in her incredible career so far and is the self proclaimed GWOAT. There has been talk between these two woman but Ali is 42 years old a bigger woman

    In a battle between these female greats which woman would win in their prime form?

    I don’t watch a great deal of women’s boxing but Shields to me doesn’t seem that special. She wins because she’s bigger than her opponents and she’s a big woman so the % of talented fighters in her division is obviously smaller. She has no power at all. Ali seemed to be better.

    Clarissa would beat Laila up. Shields takes real fights and has a real pedigree. Laila did not.

    Shields is a better boxer probably tougher but Ali much larger and probably more gifted athletically. Have to favor Ali here

    Anne Wolfe sparks out both.
