Claressa Shields Says Laila Ali Can Challenge Her ‘GWOAT’ Claims

Boxer Claressa Shields, 24, recently sat down with EBONY correspondent and 2012 New York Golden Gloves Champion Michael Hughes at the Church Street Boxing Gym in New York City. The undefeated pugilist discussed how her male counterparts get paid more and her “greatest woman of all time” claims.
Shields has an 8-0 professional record with two knockouts. She also currently holds the IBF female super middleweight title, the IBF female middleweight title and the WBC female super middleweight title. As an amateur, she won gold in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, making her the first boxer in history with consecutive Olympic wins.
Despite her impressive record, Shields said things would be different if she were a man.
“If an American male boxer had two Olympic gold medals right now [and was] fighting for an undisputed title within nine fights, he would be a millionaire,” she said about the gender disparity with regard to her upcoming fight against Christina Hammer (24-0, 11 KOs).
“Me fighting against Christina Hammer is like when Canelo [Alvarez] decided to take on Floyd Mayweather,” Shields opined. “Mayweather had the experience, the belts and was the one who was the reigning champ. Canelo was new on the block and he decided, ‘I believe I’m great enough to take on Floyd Mayweather.’ That’s what’s going on right now [between Hammer and me], and [Alvarez] got paid a lot of money for that fight. It wasn’t an undisputed fight; it was just for the WBC.”
The undefeated fighter thinks other women in boxing need to start doing more than just speaking about the wage gap. For the Hammer matchup, Shields made a point of asking that it be the main event on a Saturday night card and that it get the same eight-week promotion that fights between males receive.
“The top girls like myself, Katie Taylor, Mikaela Mayer, Amanda Serrano, we have to make those small demands,” she said. “Showtime respects me, it’s just that they never had to do certain things for women’s fights and the fighters that came before me never voiced these things. They may have voiced, ‘Oh, we not getting equal pay,’ but they didn’t voice the small things that lead to equal pay, and equal promotion is one of those big things.”
She also clarified her proclamation of being the GWOAT: “When I say I’m the greatest woman of all time, it’s [means] all the women who are active on BoxRec cannot beat me.”
But Shields hasn’t shied away from questions about if she could beat Laila Ali, who retired in her prime with a 24-0 record.
“When you talk about Laila Ali, she was never undisputed,” she said. “I’m a five-time world champion within eight fights. It’s not because women’s boxing has gotten easier; it’s because I’ve [had] -crazy-ass challengers who [were] 17-0, 18-0 and 24-0. If people want me to prove that I’m the greatest woman of all time, cool; I’m not going to stop saying it because they don’t believe it.”
Shields said she will continue to call herself the GWOAT until someone beats her.
Showtime will air her undisputed women’s middleweight world championship fight against Hammer on April 13; coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET.

When female Fighters can move to the level of the men which will never happen we're talkin about looking at female boxing and look at men box is a total different level we cannot pay people for being on a lesser level and then water equal pay it will never be equal because the product is not the same I love Shields I love with a lot of women have done Sports basketball tennis boxing but the men are at the Apex and that's the bottom line or go play pool where it doesn't matter if you're a man or female play ping-pong where does it matter if you a man or female when it comes to these sports that are physically imposing men will always be the better product so the problem here is not what y'all say it is as far as equality is the female product of the opposite of the male is not the same quality

Alexander Munoz I think female boxing could be just as entertaining, and is just as entertaining. If we were discussing older times, I would agree. But Floyd, Ruiz, etc?? They’re not that entertaining at all. The quality has greatly declined since people like Foreman, Frazier, Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, and Hearns were in the ring. Go watch their interviews, fights. See their sportsmanship, personalities, etc and compare it to the blandness of the men today.

Heck I think Amanda can beat her boxing also she’s a wicked striker.

[@SikBeatz]

Fans need to see more knockouts in women's boxing. Like Claressa said, bouts need to be 3 minutes 12 rounds. Women's boxing needs more "quality" fighters. Bouts tend to be lopsided as hell. The ubdercards need to be better. So many variables that have to be improved before we can really take it serious. Once women's boxing improves, more people will begin to support, and the money will increase. The average person, including myself, can't name more than 5 or 6 female boxers. Sad but true

Get your KO % up, your supposed to have a much more experienced amateur record than ALI and two Gold Medals? Rhonda Rousey was as confident as you and also Tyson, be careful of how you talk. A first defeat on your record with that much talking will destroy you mentally. Tyson and Rousey were never the same after being KO’d.

If Shields could sellout T-Mobile Arena or Madison Square Garden with tickets going as high as 30k for top seats and viewership on Showtime hitting the millions then she would make the million dollar paydays like Canelo, Floyd and others. You can not pay her what is not there as no company in the world works to go bankrupt or to lose money. That's what a lot of these women are missing the point on.

CS is the Lomecianco of women’s boxing. This lady is a grade above the rest in this era of female boxing! In my opinion, it’s not becoming of lady to think she’s the best thing since sliced bread! U good but not great!!! Humble yourself before it’s too late...

[@keithlott5146]

Humble herself, dude she is a boxer where she make money risking her life. She has to promote herself and her accomplishments speak for themselves. Women boxing is not a household sport and the only reason it's getting this much coverage is because of her. Be humble in golf, ping pong, or basketball, in boxing humble gets you broke. It's not a team sport.

[@MPLaws-en6pi]

I'd much rather watch her fight than Floyd Mayweather at least she fights and with her accomplishments in that short period of time she can say whatever she chooses to say about herself in her Arena

[@troyharper6967]

I knew she was going to win & she did keep up the great work you are on your way can't wait til your next fight. 💙💙💙💙

[@oldwarriorlife]

She knows her boxing history and has the fight to make the claims she's making. Her hard work, dedication, sacrifices and the climb up the mountain gives her the power to say what she is saying. Just facts!

[@spartanz9991]

Get you're viewership up and you will get paid more Shields you get paid more then any woman in boxing and you get more viewers then the WNBA these are facts

[@beezytalkingshit9319]

Well that's what she should worry about . Being the highest paid woman of all time. She not getting men's pay. She not producing numbers like that. Some mens fights don't produce the numbers, so you know women not producing the numbers.

[@Lukeanthony82]

I agree with her logic based on today, however Laila has nothing to prove...but as a fantasy fight I'd like to see them two do it! They both have a strong opinion about their abilities. Claressaa says she's the greatest woman of all time, Laila says NO WOMAN can beat her. May the best woman win.

[@MylezDaBadGuy]

Laila Ali got a lot of TKO's because she has really big hands. She had Roger Mayweather as her trainer, Clarissa's trainer doesn't even come close to Roger. Andre Ward helps mentor Shields and thats great but Laila was mentored by her Father Muhammad Ali. if i had to pick a winner I'm going with the team with the most experience and thats Laila Ali

[@Lukeanthony82]

@@MylezDaBadGuy exactly! I think Laila's strength is a big difference than Claressa realizes... I still think Laila could give her a hard challenge/or win.

[@Lukeanthony82]

Also, 40 is not too old. I know Laila still trains lightly, but if she REALLY wanted to come out of retirement JUST for the money and trained like she always have, she still got this. Btw she fought at Middle Heavy weight.

[@chancegoode173]

LukeAnthony Tillman no woman can beat you if you don’t fight lol

[@chancegoode173]

Myles Henderson the trainers don’t fight. Fighters fight so when it boils down to it it’s about the two people in the ring their heart and natural skills as will as training but when you both champions you have learned the game of boxing it’s about what you can do in the ring.
