Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa’T-Rex’Hields, named after a 63-1 record, lost only to her pro Savanah Marshall, who is definitely one of the best women’s boxers among amateurs.
The question is whether she is the greatest woman ever? In the latest fight on July 26, she defended her IBF, WBO, WBF and WBC World Heavyweight Championship, defeating IBF World Lightweight Heavyweight Championship Lani’The Smile the Smighing Assassin’ Daniels, 11-2-2, 11-2-2. One commentator said: “Shield is the best female boxer (in the world or today). This is not the first time I have heard of this.
This author believes that I disagree with her being the best ever. I think Lucia is the Dutch destroyer’Rijker 17-0, and the Netherlands has 14 shutdowns is the best ever. She was sent to Ibkhov. She has IBO and WIBF World Super lightweight champions.
I think another 24-1 Ann’Brown Sugar’ Wolfe, 16 shutdowns, and in my opinion, the IBA and WIBA World Lightweight Heavyweight Championship from Waco, Texas is the hardest lady boxer I think.
In December 2018, in the boardwalk hall in Atlantic City, Shields decided on WBC and WBO world middleweight champions Christina Hammer of Germany, who achieved a huge advantage 24-0. The only thing I remember is that every time Hammer attacked, Sparkle Lee, also an African-American referee, stepped in to prevent her from landing more than a punch or two.
In the locker room, I told her promoter Tom Loeffler that he told me not to tell her before entering the locker room after the battle. After he left, I told Hammer “You are still the world champion and every time you start landing, the referee step in.
Hammer did not fight again for ten months, only four times after that, until his opponent’s average record was 12-8-2, 6-3-1, 3-1 and 6-3. Never fight for the world championship again, and don’t replay. Someone will tell me that this decision is widespread, why did she re-race? They also disagree with the referee’s actions.
I can mention others like Laila’s, she is Stingin’Ali’Ali’24-0 World Super Middleweight Champion and Jacqui Frazier Lyde, 13-1. Ali has never fought since 2007, and Shields talks about fighting her, although not in 18 years. I can also mention others, hoping that readers can mention others in their opinion the best person ever. I look forward to their comments.
