[keithmoonhangover]

To give it some context....

How old are you?
Height and weight?
What previous boxing experience do you have?
Predicted outcome.

55,
6' 5", 15 stone and in reasonable shape
I sparred a fair bit in my 20s, but no official fights.
Outcome? I think she'd beat the shit out of me for 20 minutes, if not less.

[Coco]

50, 5'9, 150lbs
Gimme 6 weeks and 5 grand I'd def take it and make it competitive
I'd fancy it
Ex pro journeyman
I'd have beaten Flintoff

Yeah, but what about an angry woman from Michigan?

Competitive!
If any big money were to come my way for fighting anyone half decent, even a Darren Till, I wouldn't take it because I don't need the money and I wouldnt risk getting proper hurt.
There isn't a risk of getting hurt against a woman.
While she would be too sharp for me, I would just walk her down

[Boxerbeetle]

Without wanting to sound disrespectful, I think the average guy would smash her face in, even without training whatsoever?

Average guy with or without boxing experience?

[Steveh583]

at my age, I think she beats me unless the ref lets me make it rough and fight my own fight. I'd much prefer 3 minutes. I'm 49, I'm in good nick (run half marathons regularly, boxing/martial arts training 3 times a week, bodyweight and flexibility training every morning), I weigh around 13st. I dont think I could get through a camp though, and i think she would drown me. plus Im not a big puncher.

[deadpan]

55 in Jan
5 feet 11 and a half

Rather healthy for my age.

Shields KO 1.

No chance.

[Stobbo]

56
6'1"
Run 10ks and halfs (slowly)
Shields wide UD

Why not? She’s pretty tiny compared to an average bloke, landing just one shot would probably break her cheekbone.

[The Docker]

Like others, I'm early 50s and pro rata in good shape for my age group.
I'd have to go all in and have her out of there in 6 minutes. No way could I do 10 rounds, even at 2 minutes per.
So me wthin three by KO, or her anytime after that.

[Lenny Cravats]

42, 11.5 stone. Went to the boxing gym for a few years as a teenager.

25 years of heavy drinking and smoking. She'd hammer me.

almost like a fetish scenario for guys who like being dominated

That's where my mind was going..!

Pretty sure she beats up most of us in our 50s even with size advantage at boxing 10x2s..
she's "The GWOAT" at that. It's a sport and you wouldn't expect to beat Sabylenka at tennis just 'cos you're so much bigger and stronger ! .
But an ex-pro ? I think Coco is selling himself short - couldn't he time her ?

In a 'real'/street/octagon fight...
I'm kinda more with BB - surely it wouldn't take that much ?
I'm 6'4" 110kgs, reasonable shape - I know she's decent at MMA, but decent judo as a kid - surely the size and strength would be too much for her ?
I certainly wouldn't fancy facing someone nearly a foot taller and 50% heaver, with much thicker bones and muscle density - even if they were notably older and stiffer than me.

Why? Because she's fast and skilled and your not. You wouldn't land clean, you'd be off balance, out of position and wide open for shots.

Yeah but you need to hit hard enough to keep someone honest

[Frostieballs]

I think she’s smash the vast majority of men to pieces.

[Fearful_Freddie]

Claressa is probably more manly than me. I'd try and run until I ran out out stamina. GWOAT by DQ1.

[KiwiRider]

I doubt I could make it through a camp without picking up an injury
I make Keith Thurman look bullet proof!

[Boxerbeetle]

Put it like this…Shields has a pro record of 17-0 with 3 ko’s. I’d be honestly amazed if 90% of Boxrec regular posters wouldn’t have a record of 17-0 with 17 ko’s against the exact same opposition.

I remember people saying all those things when Romda Rousey was doing well in UFC

OK. I work with a lad in his late twenties, who was British champion for one of the MMA organisations a few years back. He still trains every day, is an expert, knows every move, his Ju-Jitsu is fantastic, he's in incredible shape, long, lean, skilled. I asked him today how he thought he would do if he fought Rhonda Rousey in her prime. This is a cocky kid who was unbeaten in his MMA career. Wanna know what he said? "I wouldn't stand a chance."

How do you think you would do against best woman in Judo?
