Laila Ali Comeback

Post by CrazyHorse »

I remember reading a few years back she was planning on coming back but then she ended up getting pregnant. Guys don't think she will ever come back?

And was she for real? The Real Deal? Or was her record overrated or padded? Or would you say she is the greatest Woman Boxer of all time?

It's doubtful she'll ever fight again. Many always speculated that going into boxing was her way of opening the door to other avenues. I think she went Hollywood after her Dancing with the Stars moment.
She was a decent fighter but was fed a lot of flotsam and jetsam that populate women's boxing.
Why wouldn't she fight Anne Wolfe, Vonda Ward or even an undersized Lucia Rijker? All these women challenged her to major bouts but they never materialized. Hard to label her as the greatest women boxer of all time, when she was reluctant to take on the best, unlike her father.
