Is Claressa ‘t-rex’ a great female boxer?


Claressa “T-Rex” Shields, two-time Olympic gold medalist with an amateur record of 63-1, is one of the best amateur and female boxers, losing only to Savanna Marshall, who is defeated in the pro ranks.

The question is whether she is the best female boxer ever. In her recent fight on July 26th, she defended IBF, WBO, WBF and WBC World Heavyweight titles, beating IBF World Light Heavyweight Champion Lani ‘The Smiling Assassin’ Daniels, 11-2-2. One commentator said, “Seals are the best female boxers (world or today). It wasn’t the first time I’ve heard this.

In this author’s opinion, I disagree that she is the best ever. At 14 stops from the Netherlands, Lucia felt that “Dutch Destroyer” 17-0 was 17-0. She was directed to Ebhov. She held the world of IBO and WIBF ultra-light titles.

In my opinion, another Anne “Brown Sugar” Wolf, hosting the 24-1 IBA and WIBA World Light Heavyweight Champion at 16 stops, was the most difficult female boxer.

In December 2018, at the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall, the Shields decided WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion German Christina Hammer 24-0 with a rather large margin. The only thing I can remember was that every time the hammer made an attack, referee Sparkle Lee, also an African-American, intervened to prevent her from surpassing one or more punches.

In the dressing room, I told her promoter Tom Loeffler that he told her not to tell her before entering the dressing room after the fight. After he left, I told the hammer, “You’re still a world champion.

Hammer has not fought just four more times in the last 10 months before retiring against his opponents on averages of 12-8-2, 6-3-1, 3-1, and 6-3. Never fight for a world title again or get a rematch. Some people will tell me that the decision is broad, and why would she get a rematch? They also disagreed with the judge’s actions.

I was able to mention others like Laila ‘She Be Stingin’ Ali ’24-0 World Super Middleweight Champ, Jacqui Frazier Lyde, and 13-1. Ali has not fought since 2007. Shields hasn’t fought in about 18 years, but he talks about fighting her. There are others I can also mention. And I hope that readers will mention others in their own opinion, the best thing ever. I look forward to their opinions.
