Comments Thread For: Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell and Andre Berto discuss disrespect of Claressa Shields

[MusoMeanderings]

Was that the time when she threw a temper tantrum because she was getting her ass whipped by a girl probably 15 years younger than her, then used the "I'm a woman and I have a daughter!" card to victimize herself? Or was that another time she couldn't control her roid rage?

I don't remember exactly, but I do remember it being all over YouTube lol ))

She immediately made a victim face when they told her they gonna toss her ass from the tourney.

But whenever I hear a broad claiming she can beat her male equivalent in a combat sport (and a bunch of her light hitting - but still taking it easy on her because she's a girl - sparring partners claiming similar), that just lets me know how insecure and delusional she is, and I'm gonna disregard her as an inferior athlete in an inferior sport...because she is.

Being the "best female boxer" is, to quote a very funny movie, "like being the smartest kid with Down Syndrome." A few of her male boxer friends white knighting for her means absolutely nothing. They just make themselves look ****** by insisting this thot should be arbitrarily given respect that male boxers get...when she's NOT a man.

This pretty much sums it up. Women have all the power being the best mothers, teachers, doctors, etc., but some of them insist on being the best at something they are not biologically designed for.

Claressa Shields, being more courageous than these effeminates, is what you get when you show the status quo the finger

She has not had that opponent, that nemesis that would get interest in her. Plus she doesn't have a lot of charisma and the lack of KO power won't bring the masses in. She might be the best but it doesn't always translate into the market.

Just imagine her teaming up with Guillermo Rigondeaux.

When you walk around with that big chip on your shoulder, don't complain if people don't like you. Claressa is a great fighter, but she is often nasty even when unprovoked. People get tired of that S.

I would have pretty much nothing but respect for her if she didn't self appoint herself the GOAT and disrespect her peers in Laila Ali, Amanda Serrano, and Katie Taylor, the latter two of which compete in divisions with more competition in any one of them than in ALL of the divisions in which Shields competes combined. There's only 167 boxers across every division in which Shields competes. That's hardly the same level of competition as the aforementioned Simone Biles, for instance, or the male undisputed boxers that she desperately tries to compare herself to. If she would be willing to just let her body of work speak for itself and not disrespect the other trailblazing women, I'd have zero beef with her, since those pesky truths about her lack of competition aren't her fault. But she chooses to be disrespectful of the other women, and of the male boxers whose level of difficulty is stratospherically different. It's like a child winning a tournament at school thinking that their accomplishment is the same as an adult doing the same thing on a world scale. If only 30 people enter, and they're all at a lower skill level than even an amateur male fighter, it's very different from one in which there's thousands of skilled fighters competing. She may well be the greatest woman boxer, but I personally would prefer if she'd just let her work speak for itself without putting others down.

It's because she plays heel in a sport no one cares about, calls herself the #gwoat in a sport nobody cares about, and she cries about not getting respect when she's the most disrespectful fighter out there. Her and BUMgardner need to start a clothing line called, "Poor me. I'm the greatest."

The common denominator is that they look like men and act co_cky.

Oh Jesus Christ…

[MusoMeanderings]

Oh Jesus Christâ¦

Care to elaborate?

[Butt stuff]

The only thing she doesn't have in power – everything else she has in spades. It's undeniable that no one else comes close to her level. And I'm not the biggest fan of her personality (a bit immature) but in the ring she's legit.
