Amazing to see how society's messed up response to teamwork in the home was going on back then. No one clapped/cheered when she said "I don't make any decision independently when it comes to something that takes a man and a woman to do." THAT'S wife material...a lost art and mindset.

[@pdlbarrett812]

Laila has earned her right to be who she is! No because of her dad. Like her dad whom she looks like! Like she said. Beauty is good but her profession is boxing and she is undefeated. Now this is what I see that was missed in the comments. She has the mental skills of her dad as well and direct with each word. Thank you for this share. I followed the Greatest through his whole career and you can see him in her and that to me is wonderful! I wish her the best! 😊

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

Undefeated is not a flex when she did not fight all the greatest boxers of her time, there were others with more titles, and others also undefeated. Laila was great but never the greatest, even in her own era, she's top 5 all time not number 1 on any boxing scale lets be honest. Also, her father lost 5 times, including a loss to Fraser in his prime, but still considered the greatest because he actually fought everyone. Great in her own right, earned her respect, but no comparison to her father at ALL. Even when talking about promotion, she never made women's boxing popular people only went to see her, and once she retired the sport died, until Clarissa. Many great fighters of her era are now forgotten, once again her fathers name is the reason we're still talking about her.

[@Kinglegend-nq9dp]

Ms Ali is something special 😍😍

[@americanIDOLfan11111]

Apparently Laila doesn't understand that Ali was not the same Ali after he was banned for over 3½ years.. he didn't have the same reflexes, but he still fought the same way and pulled back. So Ali after the ban, like the one that fought Frazier.. might have some problems with certain fighters... but prime Ali would demolish anybody in the history of boxing.

[@jethrodassam]

I know right? I heard it was Ann Wolfs manager that was tryng to get hella money for the fight, and thats not what they pay in boxing so it just never happen.

How much money did they asked for? Just asking because I saw Laila do an interview, asking for 1 million dollars

[@jeremyreese9663]

I’m not sure how much but I do know it was a ridiculous amount. Layla manager wanted a lower price and Ann manager wanted something significant in terms of money and Layla said the price ass manager was asking they don’t pay women boxers that amount. So the fight never happened unfortunately

[@cecilmorgan5084]

That was alot of fun. I would say, though, regarding Ali's so-called mistakes in the ring, things he did 'wrong', that he forgot more about boxing than his daughter ever knew. Dundee, who trained many world champions from the 50s on so he knew what he was talking about, said every punch Ali threw was delivered perfectly. Ali studied the standard, correct way of moving, punching, etc in the ring, and adapted it over many years to himself. This is from age 12. His natural speed enabled him to do things you'd say we're crazy. Look at him in the sixties moving backwards avoiding devastating punches by fractions of an inch. Against class opposition, too. So to see Laila here talking about how to overcome that movement with a feint is frankly just ridiculous. The evolution she speaks of is Bullshit. There are far fewer fighters now, and what they are is far less than what they were. In the fifties gyms were packed. The country still had dirt - poor families that coundn't afford TVs, refrigerators, etc. Boxing, like it was for the previous 3 generations, was seen as a way out. Therefore a young fighter had to come through more people with a wide variety of styles before he could gain prominence. Iow, he had to be a better fighter than today.

Tell the truth Stephen! Good God she fine!

[@troystewart2909]

...and still no fight. Then or now, Ann Wolfe would murderfyviscerate Laila Ali; and Ali's camp knew that. That's why there was never a fight. They didn't want to mess up her "legend" by fighting someone (Wolfe) who would actually defeat Ali. I've watched all the fights of both of these ladies. Wolfe's conditioning, strength, and natural athletic instinct is farrrrrrrrr superior to Ali's. Ali's body in the ring reacts very differently than Wolfe's. It's as if Wolfe's body, whether training or natural or both, knows about counter balance and reaction. She's ready at all times for any movement of her body. Ali, on the other hand, is sloppy and just a little wild with her movements; especially when the fight gets in close. Dare I say it and sound misogynistic ... Wolfe fights like a girl who can FIGHT. Ali fights like a girl who's been trained but still has too much Barbie in her bowl. Trust me when I say that this is not about heterosexual vs homosexual. It's about who does it better in the ring. Wild flingy punches and stances vs concise missile-like precision without unnecessary movements. Can you tell that I'm an Ann Wolfe fan ?

Edward you couldnt be more wrong. the news, management and every fighter that knows anything about these two know that it was laila who ducked ann and the excuses are limitless. even the media who are on laila's side were saying she turned down the fight just to shun ann. after all that talk she never accepted it. ann wolfe would never duck anyone anywhere. she would have fought her in a cardboard box.

[@edwardjohnson1176]

we fight One thing we both know is Laila and Ann are never going to fight in the ring Laila is almost 38 years old and retired and i don't know how old Ann is but i heard her daughter was a boxer so she may be retired too.
