This week’s panelists were asked to name their number one female boxer of all time.
Jane Couch (women’s boxing pioneer)
Lucia Ricker. She had so much skill and power. She not only had the ability of a man; she had the power of a man. You will never see another Lucia Rijker. She was technically brilliant. I remember watching her train Mexican men in a Los Angeles gym and she was knocking them out.
Nicola Hopewell (super flyweight prospect)
I think Katie Taylor is the best boxer of all time. She is a great role model and inspiration to all. Making history against Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden will go down as one of the greatest women’s fights in history and something that all emerging female boxers will look up to.
Chantelle Cameron (WBC & IBF Super Lightweight Champion)
I would go for Amanda Serrano. I really like her style. She is aggressive, entertaining and was involved in one of the best women’s fights of all time against Katie Taylor earlier this year.
Amy Timlin (European super bantamweight title challenger)
Katie Taylor. When you think of women’s boxing, the name Katie Taylor immediately comes to mind. She has inspired a whole generation of women.
