Who is the greatest female fighter ever? How would she do against males boxers?

[Nagabilly]

Who is often regarded as the Ray Robinson of female boxing? And how do you think she would do against males fighters, say, the current male division of when she was prime.

I know women in general can't compare physically to men but if she's GOAT that should mean something.

Laila Ali (the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree).

Lucia Rijker, Anne Wolfe or Regina Halmich

Rijker and Wolfe I still gotta get some fights of. I'd go with Ali too, very skilled, beat everyone, even one of my other favorites, Christy Martin. Martin and Mia St. John were pretty exciting to watch too. Martin gained recognition fighting on the undercard of both Holyfield fights with Tyson.

Paul Malinagi.

Okay so how would Laila Ali have done against current male Supermiddleweights?

We need to see these match-ups. I'm a big fan of women competing against men. But women don't compete against men in billiards, or golf, or bowling, or tennis. They should in those arenas. Boxing too. But for right now I would be surprised if the best could win a round against any TOP 100 (not all-time) current fighter in the appropriate division.

If she could hold her own, and not be embarrassed, it would be a tremendous accomplishment - and by this I'm not suggesting winning rounds - but not being exposed as a rank amateur. Nor am I suggesting she go against a top ranked fighter.
