Is Laila Ali "The Greatest" in female boxing? Or does she fight "hand picked" fighters for a pretty record?

Answer 1

Ric ~
In my opinion, The most common name out there for people who don't know anything about woman's boxing is Ann Wolfe, everybody keeps bringing up Ann Wolfe aside from sleeping in her car and being homeless for a while what tangibles does Anne bring to the ring?

Laila might think that Ann may beat her or not, but Laila knows that Leatitia Robinson will rip her head off in less than 5 rounds. Robinson is by far the best and most feared female fighter out there today. She has power in both hands and her left hook is right up there with any mans. So scared of Robinson is Laila that when they offered Robinson a fight, Laila never saw any tape of Robinson so she went to see her fight against Norma Galloway, who gave Laila some pretty tough sparring and after watching Leatitia rip through her opponent and stopping he in less than 4 rounds,Laila quickly withdrew the contract. Ali offered a 75/25 split, that's completely unheard off.

Laila disgraces her fathers name. Laila is a carnival act living off her fathers name.

Thanks for the question Ric.

Answer 2

My man Santana said it all. I think she's not living up to the Ali name at all by continuously ducking tough opposition like Robinson and Wolfe. Could you imagine her father bragging about being the greatest and then ducking Frazier, Foreman and Norton? No way! Muhammad was the best because he fought the best. Until Laila fights Ann Wolfe or Letitia Robinson, i don't think she will ever be taken seriously when she continues to brag about being the best women's fighter out there. Right now she's a joke in my opinion, and i like women's boxing and she could be making a good case for the sport if she fights the best fighters out there. She's the face and the name of women's boxing and she's hurting it in my opinion by not fighting the best.

Answer 3

I haven't seen any better. She has taken on all comers she has dominated the women's boxing she has got raw talent something that isn't taught. She purposely goes up weight classes to find competition. Until she retires I don't see any body beating her. She has a jab, hook and rights and they are crisp. No she hasn't had the so called hand picked opponents. She is the greatest that is in womens boxing.

Answer 4

She needs to fight Anne Wolfe. Ali has knocked out Mahfood twice. Wolfe lost to Mahfood and then decisioned her twice. Beating Wolfe would answer this question. Didn't know about Robinson. She also decisioned Mahfood. Thanks Santana. I think Ali would beat them both.
