Shields Deserves Top Rank | Boxing News

Dmitriy Salita blasts the pound-for-pound rankings in women’s boxing, arguing that Claressa Shields is being unjustly ranked below Katie Taylor—despite Shields’ dominant record, Olympic golds, and victories over top names like Marshall and Hammer. With a big fight against Kaye Scott looming, Salita insists Shields’ resume speaks volumes and should place her at the very top. He laments the bias he sees influencing rankings, calling Shields’ achievements objective facts—not opinions—and frustrated that he still needs to defend her legacy. While respecting Taylor, Salita maintains Shields’ accomplishments are unmatched, cementing her as one of—if not the greatest—female boxers ever.
