Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields makes history - becomes three-division undisputed champion with dominant win over Danielle Perkins

[True-boxing-fan 2.0]

I'm not impressed with this "historic achievement" given the absolute lack of depth in women's boxing. Especially in the upper weight divisions, title belts are barely more than participation awards. But I do appreciate the work Shields is putting in to make women's boxing more and more relevant. Maybe some day, it will be a real sport worthy of respect. I do hope so. But that day is not now. There's fewer women from middleweight to heavyweight than in any ONE of the lower divisions. And there's more competition for a men's domestic belt in virtually any division than there is across all of women's boxing. Is women's boxing better than it was 25 years ago? Yes, IMO. But it still requires context. I even follow women's boxing, but to claim that getting undisputed when there was only 1 belt holder before she entered the division, and only 17 competitors including her, is some sort of achievement, is simp behavior. There's more competition for a parking spot at Costco.

Did you see her opponent last night. Frankenstein had better head movement. The talent pool in the upper weight division is non existent. Dude that Frankenstein chick was 5-0 and 42 years old and was a champ. What a joke. This Shieids girl calls herself the “gwoat”, her style of fighting is crap, she has zero power, she struggled to drop a girl with zero head movement, and no pizazz to her boxing skill.

Last nights fights were a disservice to women boxing overall and imo did more hurt than anything. Gwoat. Yea sure

Nothing historic about this sh.it.
the chick she fought is 60..turned pro 20 minutes ago...Shields lives in a very very very fake world..and papoose is a bum, Remy is better off..

Laila Ali?

Does she mean 47 year old Laila Ali that's been retired for 18 years?

WAR GWOAT

The haters gonna hate, but none of the ones in her weight range between 154-175 ever call her out.

The only one who did was one (Baumgardner), who knew a fight between them would never happened because of the 30lb weight difference.

Remy is better off with a battle rapper( Eazy da block Captain)? Papoose at least had a record deal...

“Naysayers”? You mean people speaking facts? Also, how is she undisputed when you said she was WBC and tonight won the WBO and IBF? Where’s the WBA title? Look through her record, you’ll find nothing but novices and hype jobs. She’s won around 9-10 vacant titles as well. GWOAT isn’t a title that should exist as there hasn’t been any women deserving of being called great, which is a term thrown around these days. And if any should have that term used about them, it would be Katie Taylor cos she’s actually fought some decent fighters in her career.

Shields is miles ahead of Katie Taylor in terms of skill and ring IQ. It's the eye test. If you can't see that, then I can't respect your opinions on boxing.

There are 29 registered professional female boxers at heavyweight. In the world.

The title is is like the equivalent of being the best heavyweight at a local gym.

Absolute joke.

Shields vs Thurman is what we want. She’s been calling him out for a while and no boxing sanctioning body will allow it to happen unless she transitions.
All she needs to do is announce that she’s träns and the fight gets made!

There are like 4 or 5 regularly active fighters in those weightclasses.

Blahblah, yet she got knocked out by a random bum in sparring trying to prove she can handle men..a random bum who wasn't even trying

this is the same deluded moron who once told she could defeat Keith Thurman or GGG in a fight

Women's boxing is pure GARBAGE, and being undisputed champion there means ****

it's like being awarded of tallest midget in the circus

Women should be banned from boxing, it's ugly, pathetic, unfeminine and embarrasing
