Have you ever seen Christy Martin or Leila Ali fight? Those girls are real boxers. As a boxing fan, they impressed me. There are some women who can do anything as well as men can, even boxing.

I've seen both of them fight (usually on the undercards of big HBO fights). Martin looks fairly competent (relative to her female competition), but Ali's daughter decidely less so.

Frankly, the best female boxers are about as talented as marginally skilled male amateurs. And the latter would quickly dispose of the former in any bout of equal weight due to the conspicuous differences in strength and quickness.

To watch two woman hit each other is simply disgusting.

To pretend they are boxers is nonsense.
