Darth Chris ~\n                      There have been some pretty good female fighters over the years, but there aren't any that would be considered famous outside of die hard boxing fans that everyday people would know other than Laila Ali, because of her father, not her ability. Christy Martin brought to the mainstream by making the cover of Sports Illustrated. Lucia Rijker (Billy Blue Bear) most famous for once fighting a man (she got knocked out) and from being the mean fighter in Million Dollar Baby.

Jack Johnson was a great boxer. Ali is overrated. He is just a popular guy world wide.\n\nPretty boy Floyd may be the best ever when it is said and done!\n\nFelix Tito Trinidad is my favorite though.  Always a man even in defeat!

This is a tough question to answer. There are thousands of professional Muay Thai Fighters in the world and dozens that many would consider at the top of the list. Here are three that I would put there because they are not only Champion Fighters but also among the Elite Trainers in the world:\n\nMark Dellagrotte - http://www.sityodtong.com/\n\nRob Kamen –  http://www.fightingmaster.com/legends/kaman/kaman.htm\n\nPhil Nurse –  http://thewat.com/enter.html

I've read about the boxers of Greece and alot of them were very good, they would wrap leather (himantes) over their knuckles as gloves. Theagenes is the greatest of all boxers in history, after his death he was worshiped as a demigod of fertility. 1300 fights in 22 years without losing.\n\n\nHere follows the career record of Theagenes, according to the inscription at the shrine of Thasos at Delphi:\n\nOlympic Games: 2 victories (1 boxing, 1 pankration)\nPythian Games: 3 boxing\nIsthmian Games: 9 boxing, 1 pankration\nNemean Games: 9 boxing\n1300 total victories\nUnbeaten at boxing for 22 years\n\n\nArchaeological evidence suggests boxing existed in North Africa as early as 4000 BC and had also developed in the Mediterranean by 1500 BC.

I think u had missed the news quite a long time..\nactually there is woman sumo already.\nthe only thing that differ between men and women sumo is that women fully cloth and pants then they use the crotch cover,just like the way superman dress.

i really dont think it is taken very seriously, but i think this is reflective of a lot of mainstream views on womens sports in general. The womens sports movement is still working on getting as much acceptance as possible, and while it probably wont ever catch up to men (not that it has to or should try to) the sport will suffer a bit in public opinion. I think there are very talented female fighers, its just since most boxing fights arent world championship fights, when you see female fights which dont display top notch competition its even harder for the sport to gain accpetance.

Andrew ~\n              Depending on the venue YES. I fought in shows in some nightclubs where the round card girls were in sexy lingerie (very adult themed) If the promoter says "18 and older" then it's 18 and older. Sorry Bro.

I had to laugh when i read this question. I would be "awesome" too if i fought people who were 20-30 lbs smaller than me in almost every fight! That's like Jermain Taylor beating Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto and Diego Corrales and bragging about being the best middle weight in the world. All Laila does is run her big mouth about being so great and then avoids the toughest competition(sound familiar Mayweather fans?). She doesn't want to fight Ann Wolfe! Plain & simple! She was rattled several times against a novice fighter like Jacqui Frazier. Can you imagine if Wolfe hit her that many times what would happen to her? She would be in la la land! And commish g, what's your point? Yeah, Wolfe lost to Mahfood(whom she beat in a rematch, by the way) who Laila beat, but Muhammad Ali lost to Norton and Frazier, both of whom George Foreman destroyed. And we all know what happened to Foreman against Ali. It's about styles, and Wolfe's style would give Laila fits! She's strong and she would walk thru hell to knock Laila out! Laila would box, but Wolfe's strength and power would soon get to Laila. And let's remember, Laila doesn't have the greatest defense in the world, she is not her father. Even Christy Martin hit her at will, she was just to small to do any damage. Well, Ann Wolfe isn't small and she will knock Ms. big mouth out if she ever gets that chicken in the ring.

in my opinion the gorgeous christy hemme takes some beating.\nwwe was very wrong to just release her like that, especially as she was so popular (she was chosen by the public after all). she was also being trained by victoria and trish stratus at the time and was making real progress.\ntna has got a potentially great knockout, all they need now is more of a womens division.
