Claressa Shields doubled down on her disdain for Laila Ali.
Appearing on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, Shields acknowledged Ali’s accomplishments in the sport.
I’m gonna take the high road like Terence Crawford and say she was the best in her era,” Shields began.
Shields then let everyone know how she really felt about Ali.
Actually, I’m not gonna lie. [Ann Wolfe] was the best in her era, and I’m the best in this era. Laila Ali is just Muhammad Ali’s daughter.”
Gillie Da Kidd jumped in and tried to stop Shields from continuing.
“Nah, come on, we ain’t gonna do that,” Gillie said.
“Nah, that is right,” she added.
Wallo then came to the defense of Ali.
“She was in there fighting,” Wallo said.
Shields then explained why she didn’t think Ali was a legend.
“She can’t rumble like Ann Wolfe. I said, ‘Who is the best from the era?’ Ann Wolfe would’ve knocked Laila Ali out.”
“I’m glad you know,” Shields said. “‘Cause you know she would have knocked Laila’s ‘oh so pretty a**’ out. That’s the truth.”
Gillie said that both Ali and Shields are great fighters, and he wants them to take it to the ring.
Shields then took some jabs at Ali by questioning her competitive spirit.
“I don’t think it would be as competitive as everybody thinks,” Shields said. “I think she’s a big woman. She got big hands, big feet, big head, but as far as in boxing skills, my boxing skills are way better than hers.”
Gille then brought up the age disparity with Shields being 30 and Ali being 47.
“Nah, this would just be the greatest woman of all time showing why she’s the greatest woman of all time,” Shields argued.
Earlier this year, Ali accused Shields of attempting to diminish her legacy.
“You can think you can beat me,” Ali said on ‘The Art of Ward.’ “That’s fine. You’re supposed to think that. But to start going in on my legacy, what I have and haven’t done… that’s a lot.”
