    Katie Taylor's fights are always exciting to watch. She's a real ring warrior and has faced much better opposition.

    In contrast, feather-fisted Clarissa Shield's fights are dull and put viewers to sleep, as she runs and pitty-pats arm punches for dull decision wins against weak opposition. A great fighter should have more heart and fight more bravely.

    Katie Taylor easily. Her resume dwarfs any other female fighter. It's not Sheilds' fault that her weight has less competition but that's just the scenario. Taylor avenged the controversial decision against Delfine Persoon with a decisive rematch victory.

    It’s Muhammad Ali’s daughter Leila. I know the standard weren’t great then, it’s still awful now but, for a female boxer, 24 wins 0 defeats 21KOs. I rest my case,

    For me Shields is the greatest. She’s the best fighter and has an excellent resume. Taylor is more exciting, but she has made wins which were hardly emphatic and could have gone either way.

    All of this yet I'm sure you picked Marshall to stop Shields.

    It's Shields to anyone who's not a bitter hater and excuse maker.

    I think both Shields and Taylor are high on the list. However, I'd go with both Laila Ali and Lucia Rijker over them. They both had very good form and very good power.

    Serrano better than anyone on or ever will be in Shields' resumé

    I agree with this, but it was razor close. Shields's best wins have been more dominant. I can fully get people saying Taylor, I think she's beaten better names and has never backed down from a challenge. I just think Shields is the better boxer of the two.

    what's that got to do with anything, this is about Katie Taylor being the greatest ever female.

    Its Taylor now after winning the remacth but i questioned Shields claim to GOAT even before that victory.

    Her best win his Lady Hammer who has boxercise level skills. And Marshall who was clearly way over hyped. She was not that good as it turned out.
    Taylor beat opponents with better boxing skill -
    Cameron , Jonas , McCatskill , Persoon , Serrano
