    She's hard to like and does herself no favors when she opens her mouth.

    Not a big Shields fan but there's no question that women's boxing is at an all-time high.

    You made me look up "Dunning Kruger Effect". Cut it out. I'm not here to learn things.

    I totally understand, but now that you have looked it up, aren't you happy? I mean, at least 50-75% of this site's posters are suffering from it to a certain extent.:sisi1 Actually, I probably am too, I definitely fit into the category of someone with relatively high ability who underestimates their competence. Which most will say is evidence that I'm a person with low ability that overestimates their competence.:lol:

    Clarissa Shields was very popular back in the day from the show Clarissa Explains It All, on the Lifetime network. She is one of the most charismatic, positive people in boxing. Truly elegant but also so much fun. Great girl. Big fan.

    I hate her personality type; loud, obnoxious, masculine personality, always trying to talk over you, won't STFU

    Classic broken home upbringing type of personality

    Would smash though for real

    Yes, you're right, she is. She is like a diamond in the ...I can't remember how it goes. But she is a gem.

    This.
    I was actually excited about her when she made her pro debut. I had heard a little about her, even tho I don´t follow amateur boxing at all. She had such a great story; 2 time Olympic gold medalist, from very humble and rough beginnings - I wanted to root for her.
    But then it turns out that shes just a total *****.

    What makes it even worse is that shes a talented, and skilled boxer who fights in weight classes with few other talents in there. On Boxrec there are currently 206 active Lightweight female boxers listed. That is more than the combined number of Jr.Middleweight to Heavyweight - 5 whole divisions. There simply is no real quality of opposition for her.
    And something that I find really bothersome, is the clear privilege she has a boxer. Shes competed for several titles that didn´t exist before she fought for them, they were created so that she can call herself an undisputed 4 belt champion. This again happened at Heavyweight, with now the WBA and IBF sanctioning fights for the first time ever at that weight. They would not have made belts for this women's division, had it not been for Claressa.

    She was very serious that she could beat Golovkin. It tells a lot about her personality.

    I've seen two sides to her. The ugly egotistical one but a few times she seemed quite sweet and nice.

    Her brother who assaulted James Ali Bashir in 2019 is a coward vile low IQ sub human who was lucky he didn't kill that trainer.
