Never ever let anyone get in your ear about anyone else. If you did not hear it from that person's mouth, act like you did not hear it.
Right, because if they did that then they don't really care about you at all. They just want to see drama at your expense, almost like the immaturity of middle schoolers.
Laila got 18 years on Sheilds and been out the game for more than a minute, why couldn't you just let her have her respect and keep other people's wispering out of it, this is just sad.
THIS !
Laila ali just turned 47 she is inshape still hits the Heavy bag do boxing workouts she can still sparr 4 rounds ❤ matter fact claressa is 29 and her next opponent Danielle Perkins is in fighting shape 42 yes old so laila can sparrr still and will still give claressa tips and pointers 😊😮😅
@@The.Art.Of.Surviving claressa will whoop that old girl
She’s becoming more cocky everyday.
@@MediaIncorporated you don't know boxing laila left because it was no competition
I never heard these comparisons. Her calling her a good fighter is the biggest understatement.
She isn't referring to comparisons by style, she's referring to comparisons by who is the "Greatest" Woman's boxer....if you're saying you never heard claressa in that convo you're literally lying lol...she is quite literally the most accomplished womans boxer.
@ you telling me I’m lying just bc I never heard those comparisons. I’ve heard her get compared to Katie Taylor….. I’ve heard Clarissa call her self the GWOAT. But I never heard a discussion about about her and Lalia Ali. Tbh they don’t talk about women’s boxing that much for me to hear it.
@ Then you must not keep up with boxing media idk what to tell you, in what world does the only woman in woman's boxing 2 time undisputed in two different weight classes doesn't be in a goat conversation with someone that hasn't even done it once?....Again Laila is a amazing fighter, and a legend.....but to be the greatest is off of accolades and accomplishments within the sport.
@@jessewright8930me either tbh
@@ItzJuzJ0literally nobody talks about women boxers ever this is new 😂😂😂😂
Sound like whoever “Jason” is caused the tension between Laila and Claressa.
Jason Lee 😅
That's a terrible humanbeing really. Because he doesn't need to do that....he has nothing to gain. What has he gained from there now, from that time to this day.
@@_LaToya_ Jason Crutchfield - she says around the 3:20 mark.
Agree
@@ddoubleu170 Thanks, it was a joke though lol Jason Lee is a celebrity blogger, friends to may celebs and hella messy so seemed befitting
These are 2 different times. Laila owned her time and Claressa owns today.
EXACTLY! 🤷🏿
Exactly!
👍 Agreed
Katie owns today as well the difference is when Laila fought she was the best no question. Shields never fought anyone besides bums
Claressa was on top back when Laila did that interview 😂
It sounds like Clarissa felt some kind of way with Laila because that dude putting stuff in her head.
I 100% agree. Clarissa be reading stuff the wrong way all the time and be getting in her feelings sometimes
My same thoughts
@@vanillawaffer21 Laila's side of the story to andre ward makes it so much obvious that claressa had 0 emotional intelligence and took things out of context
He probably wanted them fight.
Exactly!!
Comparisons is the thief of happiness 🤦🏾♂️
Absolutely 💯💯💯
Misunderstandings happen. Like she said, their relationship isn't something that can't be fixed. I hope they put petty feelings aside and do just that ❤
Correct
This is why I like Ward he’s not biased. He is true and real in his opinion.
If you are a boxer and you don't feel like you are the best..you are in the wrong sport..that goes for any thing you are doing
She's not supposed to feel like she's the best because she's dark & dark women are supposed to be humble or you'll get humbled.The interviewer seemed very biased.I believe Sheilds she seems genuine. They're trying to paint Sheilds in a bad light.Let the Young Lady have her shine she earned it.Older Women have a hard time embracing a younger woman.Its sad.Sheilds did nothing wrong it was Laila.She did underhanded back handed comments& things towards this young lady .Sheilds didn't catch it being young& naive but someone looking out for her made her aware. What does Laila have to prove? She was the Champ of her time Sheilds is the Champ of This time.I don't think they should fight Laila is retired.
This is deeper than that, Shields has a jealous nature
Amen
Amen.
😂😂😂
I believe Claressa really did take offense and take it the wrong way when Laila said, you wanna spar?
Yes, I think she let her manager has her up.
But at her age why would she say that lol, claressa would put the paws on laila at this point in time....What couldve possibly been laila reasoning as a retired fighter to say that to her?
As a fighter your mentality to spar someone is bait! It’s the very reason why they do this! When you spar an opponent you get to see how strong a person really is and what they are capable of doing to you in that RING!
Not even at the maximum level tho! I agree with Clarissa! No one in boxing is going to ask you to spar just to spar! They look at it as a challenge!
@@Wealthywalker Not only laila Ali is retired and 40+ years old, the only reason she said that is because they was comparing her to her....to me that's arrogance lol because number 1 at her age she cant do nothing with claressa & 2. if it was genuine just her wanting to do a friendly spar.....she would've dm'd claressa personally.
It's call helping a younger fighter progress... you sound just like her... Clarissa is showing arrogance, insecurity and a hearsay attitude that always causes division. That's my opinion... I'm from the hood and this is exactly how the bs starts.....
Jealousy is not in all women. There are some women who truly support one another with no underlying reason than to support one another. I want more friends to be abundantly blessed. I have lived long enough and have seen things around the world. That I can never unsee. That is why I don't have room in my life to be jealous. I only have room for peace and love.
I’m with you there. I think it was harder in times past because women had so few opportunities it was easier to fight each other for scraps. More opportunities leads to women helping each other more now. Love it.
Shields iam ur fan, but don't get worked up
True
Understanding you point and 100% agreed... but I think she's generally speaking, not just when it comes to sport.
@@amberwilliams7212 where have women not had to fight for scraps? Surely we have had to in business, politics, families. I don’t think it is a sports only thing.
I can see Claressa's respect for Laila.
Mad respect but the competitiveness in both fighters will always show up
Exactly, she’s tryna call Ali out but using the wrong tactics
Laila needs to be the OG and get out of her feelings and play her role
Leave Laila out of this Nonsense
Right
Why? Laila doing interviews saying stuff about Claressa
So she's taking her friend's advice on what he thought she meant instead of talking to her face-to-face to get her own point of view.
Right ‼️‼️‼️‼️ just go to her and talk to her 🫶🏽
You can tell she have a close mind. She should've talk to ali herself
@Dontagerivera39 yeah ion think Laila is hating on her because she gone be considered this greatest no matter and Shields can call herself the gwoat that really doesn't matter but don't get me wrong her story alone is remarkable.
Clarissa started getting too cocky once the comparisons started Clarissa started believing the hype
But she has made her own path and shes done it so well
Right!
I hope that they can fix it. Laila's job is to be a mentor and inspiration. Clarrissas job is to go the distance and make her own name bigger than ever and pay homage to those before her like Laila.
Let’s be Fair Claresss is who she say she is…. THE BEST !!! but Layla is older now and it’s no need to compare . These woman both Are the best of their Time. Mannnn I love me some Clarissa Shields she is empowering me .
You said it right. The best of their time. 💫
Laila ducked smoke when it was here time, she should’ve fought Anne Wolfe
Whenever theirs a strong confident dominant woman… theirs always a hater hating them for it
True and it’s always 3 sides to every story.
That goes for leaders...period
They always compare. This new generation misses the class in humility and respect. It goes a long way
First she said the coach put her on game when Laila asked to spar then she said she didn’t take it personal … like which one is it? Sounds like their relationship got messed up due to lack of respect and ego 🤷🏼♀️
100% Clarissa is thirsty! She picks beef!
Agreed
Jason lied to her to get momentum....and she bit!! Young & naive to the game...
No, the relationship got screwed up for her listening to Jason who put that battery in her back.
No call it what it is. Shields was jealous
I came after I heard Laila intake on this situation and came to hear her side. Most of this on her end was somebody said or the Jason guy putting a battery in her back and saying she feels some type of way. She have a lot of growing to do
We need this two great women on the same side, we love both of them
Ali is 47.....Shields is 29.....stop it. Shields thinks she can beat Keith Thurman. He would still be being her ass.
Stop this nonsense. Laila had her time and now it’s Shields. Respect all around.
S/o to Andre bringing in a unbiased perspective. Because Clarissa took that sparring shot the wrong way
Yes, I believe she did too. Mainly b/c of that guy who was in her ear, & her saying she was naive , but after her put that in her head, she started moving differently.
Exactly. That guy was the major problem and the instigator of the whole thing. Terrible humanbeing.
Had the guy not get in her ear, she wouldn't have taken the statement the wrong way. @@tball7496
I honestly don’t see what Laila said wrong, even if she was a lil jealous she still tried to embrace her. I don’t see why Clarissa took it that way, she started that imo.
Chick speak for yourself. Not all women are jealous. That is an insecurity issue.
I didn't agree with that either
Facts
Right! 🙄
Love seeing Claressa’s growth. Keep shining young lady.
How did you highlight claressa name
She has no class 😂
@JmacDaloc 0
@@JmacDaloc who has?
its all because of Mohammed Ali people are supporting Laila.
Claressa always keep it a buck💯 no pretending with her. Got to love her, she is very powerful in the way she speaks, not just in her fights. Laila does come across overly arrogant because of her dad legacy when there is competition at times in my opinion.
Yes very arrogant
@@CremeDaLaCreme812x undisputed woman's champ, you can call her arrogant all you want, but laila didn't do it once, I love both fighters i think they're both top 3 all time....but Claressa simply has accomplished more 🤷🏽♂️
I never heard of Claressa until the Papoose and Remy ma’s mess.
I definitely never heard of any comparison to Laila Ali either.
I’m TEAM Laila Ali.
She's 🧢🎓🎓🎓 she felt away about skin not wanting to come back it's no body fun to go check out Ali notices shields always having problems with everyone men women
@@MzErvin You not really a boxing fan if you dont know claressa
That sounds like a misunderstanding between Claressa and Laila. I think the champ jumped the gun on this one. Coach planted a seed, and Claressa ran with it. It's too late now too much back and forth between them.
Yeah. She was looking for it.
The beef needs to stop. Laila is her elder so why do this?
Sometimes elders be haters unfortunately. I had a few situations with elderly women whom I had nothing but respect for, however when it comes to men, money or just for the sake of being younger or more attractive some not all but alor of them get envious or jealous and It's sad. Everyone get their time.
That's what I'm saying.
Sometimes, you gotta check elders, too.
Elders aint always right. They are, in fact, often wrong.
@@ddavis8988 I hear what you're saying. But Laila bought attention to female boxers. I love both, but even iron Mike respected Ali.
@chechechance5193 Claressa respects her too. But the problem is Laila let that respect go to her head.
And then instead of handling it like the elder she is, she made it public.
Jealous of what?? Laila has absolutely nothing to be jealous of. Laila is a legend her dad is a legend!
Contentment doesn’t put another down or speak disrespectfully towards someone who is minding their own business doing their dm thing!🤷🏾♀️
Yes she jealous cause Clarissa getting all the props cause the thing she did want to get the props forever and now the gwoat is here she all rile up cause she want the spot light on her alone 😂
While I do think Shields is more skilled than Laila, Claressa attitude is bad I’m sorry to say. I saw both of what each person said & Laila explained her side well. Claressa often does the comparison thing & in a somewhat arrogant way, she also doesn’t take super well to criticism if we’re being honest. Her & Shakur got a similar temperament w/ stuff like this.
I understand being confident & believing you can beat someone(which you should) but saying her resume is bad & the two of you don’t compare is what made Laila upset
Her attitude is so trash! She’s super immature! Ang you can’t compare where you can’t compete!
@@KINGOFBROOKLYN3 Laila said she could beat claressa in a spar in her 40's lol....That's not arrogance? Yall say that because Claressa is the darker skinned woman, not as pretty as laila either so she should be more humble, but lets talk facts.
Claressa is simply greater than laila ali, they're both amazing fighters both in my top 3 all time....But the facts is claressa has accomplished double of what laila has in lest fights it's not a debate claressa is #1 all time until further notice...
@@ItzJuzJ0 the colorism shit has nothing to do w/ it on my end. Won’t deny that people think that way, I’m not one of them. I’m going off actions. I already said Shields more skilled, I think Shields would beat Laila. YOU mentioned Claressa being not as pretty… lol. No one would say they’ll lose to anyone as a competitor. But to demean someone’s resume & all that other stuff isn’t necessary. You could boast about your own accomplishments, but why talk down on Laila’s when asked about the comparisons from other people?
@@KINGOFBROOKLYN3 Bro you aren't getting the picture and you still didn't answer my question.....You say claressa is arrogant but laila on live air said she would beat claressa in a spar in her 40's because they compared her to her in a "goat" conversation that's arrogance lol....Because if it was just friendly banter or a friendly spar challenge she would've dm'd claressa personally and not say that on air........Ya'll want claressa to show her respects but forget respect is earned on both sides no matter who you are and what your name is.
I'm with Claressa all the way cuz👍🏾 Sometimes us OG's have to swallow our pride and give props to the newer generation coming forward. It's the honorable thing to do ...
This is true , but not in this case. Jason on her team got into the way of that potential great friendship or mentor/mentee relationship when he got in her ear & made that comment about Laila when that probably wasn’t even her intention. She probably wanted to spar with her to be helpful and not hurtful, but Jason got in the way of that.
@tball7496 lol...Laila has a huge ego...I can see it didn't take much for her to go at Claressa.
Laila deserves respect period
its all because of Mohammed Ali people are supporting Laila.
Period
So Jason started all this "so called Laila jealousy"!....he put his perceived thoughts into Clarresa's mind🤦🏾♂️. Laila jealous?? C'Mon now, absolutely not!! If u listen to the way Laila always gave her props until Claressa started calling her out/took as a disrespect based on her interpretation of Laila's response about her NOT seeing other challenges out there for her. Which thats just Laila's opinion, it wasn't personal to Claressa.
I personally think they're both good talented fighters whose opinions [about themselves] got misunderstood and taken wrong. I'd love to see them both be reconciled publicly, like Laila and Anne did by pic.
She's still a lil immature...she needs to grow sum more...You can tell by her gesture of talk.This younger generations is to disrespectful.
Laila is like 45+ that's not a good fight
That's why Clarissa wins
She's 47
@@ellismartin9082 She would have won back when they were going back and forth as well. Laila was retired already
Tyson older than that but of course Tyson was after the 💰
I never seen laila fight, do u think she would of beat Claressa if they both were in their prime ?
It's her; she's the common denominator in every situation that breaks down. She's always the victim, and she believes everyone is jealous of her
Well she is the greatest .
@azieldaly2965 greatest of what
@@ShadowElohim use common sense
@azieldaly2965 Subjective; OnlyFans considers her that, and that's it, because her contemporaries don't believe she is.
Absolutely I’ve noticed the pattern too
Girl that was disrespectful! You are not better than Laila Ali period!! And she’s supposed to say she can knock you out! GIRL GROW UP!!
Laila never fought anyone with her strength and boxing stop it
My honest opinion it was Clarissa 🤷🏽♀️You let ya manager get in ya head you went to social media like she said. Your the problem in this situation boo…And that woman is a LEGEND!!!!!!! Respect is definitely due to her.
I remember this. It all started when Laila went on the breakfast club few years ago and they ask her will she ever come back to boxing and she said “no bc there’s nothing in boxing that would make me go back there’s no competition for me” So Clarissa took that as a jab. No Clarissa Laila is right. There is no competition for her bc you are not her peer for competition. Why would she want to box you when she’s been giving you advice and taken you under her wing? Clarissa got big headed and insecure. There’s no way you thought that Laila was coming for you when her not coming back to boxing has nothing to do with you.
I think Jason got in her head .....and started some issshhh! She was young & naive for that!! It should have been an honor to spar with Laila!🎉🎉 Clarissa exaggerating on this one...her team probably didn't want this fight! Laila ain't raggedy & out of shape.... Trust... somebody is going to humble her soon....
Hater . People hate a real black confident woman
Absolutely! The fact that this girl literally think she can beat a male boxer proves she hasn’t had that reality check - but it’s coming!
Yep, I believe the same thing. Jason got into her head & she fell for the bait. Laila was probably looking @ that girl as a little sister or a mentee.
Being younger and listening to he say she say will always get you in trouble. That’s Clarissa Shields problem.
Laila put women's boxing on the map. I don't think she is aware of a beef. I also think that she inherited her father's bravado. Time to move on.🙄
I wish the champions in men’s boxing was eager to fight each other instead of talking trash
Keep shining Clarissa! 💫 Laila already had her turn.. Now it’s your time to shine.. ✨
Laila is NOT jealous of Clarissa
This reminds me of when Oprah said her and Whoopi let people get in their ear but never addressed each other until years later and never said/felt any ill will towards each other. It’s the fight game and EGOS play a part and small misunderstandings that could’ve been addressed turns into a full blown imaginary beef. I love both these women and Big Ups to their contributions to the sport.🥊🥊🥊❤️❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Exactly, he said she said. Def sounds like she took it the wrong way when she was tryna uplift her
Exactly, b/c she just said it was someone on her team who gassed her up saying she (Laila) really wanted to spar with her when Laila probably was being sincere about it.
I don't think Laila is jealous about nothing of Claressa! Laila is a legend based off her techniques, skills and knockouts. Claressa hasn't kncoked out nobody, yet. All women are not jealous, that's a delusion some women have when their perception is skewed and tainted.
Both Laila and Claressa's interview have me here. (Subscribed)
One thing I always appreciated about Tyson at his height he always gave Ali his credit... When you are of the younger gen regardless of the level of success achieved you ALWAYs give the Gen before you their respect and stfu... It just is what it is.
They just need to talk it out in private because it seems like there are some misunderstandings or something but after watching both their interviews,it seems like they could just once again at least respect each other like Claressa said
She definitely contradicted herself, seem like she took the sparring comment super personal.
Dropping Facts... Claressa; multiple titles different weight classes #GWOAT for sure currently....
Who cares women's boxing doesn't have any true competition
I agree 👍
Clarissa sit down somewhere. Grow up and stop trying to make her seem like she so scared of you. Do your thing and stop all the extra. You got upset and took what she said the wrong way on the breakfast club. Every woman doesn’t have a jealous bone you do. Enjoy your success and be happy
Show some Respect to your older Sister.
Period!
Great interview Mr. Ward, keeping it real
I enjoyed this short interview. Well done!
Laila just has so much class and is so much more respected. Clarissa is a little rough around the edges and her head is a little too big. You should never say she’s jealous because she’s a legend and I’m 100% sure that she’s not jealous of you. Why should she be.
Right 😂😂😂😂
LAILA GOT 20 KNOCKOUTS IN 20 FIGHTS WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SHE IS 50 YEARS OLD NOW
I love Claressa's authenticity🙏🏽⭐️
I think I’m a Clarissa fan now much respect young lady
Laila Ali is the female Ali ( more composed and shield is Mike Tyson more aggressive it would be a great fight honestly I’ll watch
I don’t know I honestly think the Wolf is the Beyoncé of the ring. Iykyk
Laila is now 45 yrs old...... Come on now!
Idk if you mean temperament or fighting styles cause Laila fights nothing like her dad
After watching this and Laila’s response, this young lady just sounds immature. Seems like she let folks get in her head. Then begin attacking Laila’s legacy. Grown women don’t play these games. Just move on.
Peace
Exactly
Great interview. Gotta love Ms Shields. Glad she wants to help those that come after her - women are getting more now so it is easier to help other women. Good for her.
Y'all listen to what this queen is saying. 1. Mentor the next generation coming up behind you. 2. Check your own jealousy and seek to celebrate other women. This powerful 🙌🏾 ❤❤❤
Standing Ovation ‼️💥🔥💥🔥
Great interview. That's how professionally is supposed to do it. Carissa Shields Laila Ali damn it. Let's see the fight or be a team. We love you both. Proud of you both and I know Muhammad Ali will be proud
I love them both ❤, I hope that they can talk it out and reconcile this misunderstanding.
I think respect is due, to L.Ali but this is a different time C.S. is the champ now 2024 time brings about a change 😊
Laila is all class and not even gonna stoop to Clarissa’s level. This is the difference between a woman and a girl. Clarissa is a child.
Boundaries should have been set in yall friendship this is why it is so important to discuss certain things in friendships like not letting anyone or anything coming in between it
Claressa you let that man get in ur head and it’s still in your head which makes you a little immature. You never formulated your own opinion. Ur opinion now of her is off the foundation of that man. Smh!!
Mr Ward Great Show glad I ran across it new sub here as well. I must say Sir how you don’t mention A Wolfe? I understand not mentioning them all she definitely should have been mentioned. With that being said, how about getting A Wolfe on your show.
Keep Doing your thing🫡🫡🫡
Don't bow down to anyone period!
Clarissa thinks she can beat men. So her confidence in beating Laila shouldn't surprise anyone
Laila started this nonsense years ago.. it was definitely on Sway show. Laila was very disrespectful. She said that Clarissa didn’t have talent
You have to understand the thought process behind an individual and where they come from. 'He say, she say' environments produce chaos, bad communication, and plenty of conflict. This is sad and it doesn't have to be. Even though elder resentment/ jealousy is a thing, this is still an elder. I'm glad she set the record straight because asking to fight an elder is crazy.
In this Conversation. Claressa added to the beef. Claressa has not backed off since. Maturity issue is what I am hearing. C. Keep other peoples opinions out of your head. People Start Trouble. Those people could be jealous of you. FAKE FRIENDS are the worst people to be around.FIND TRUE FRIENDS C. Much LOVE FOR YOU. Reach out to Laila and fix this. You will be glad you did.
She is saying 2 different things. At the 4:22 mark she said what her coach said that she had something against her DID go to her head. THEN at 5:02 mark she said “ Oh I didn’t take it like that”. Which one is it girl!! Be honest, oh boy got in your head. Then Laila felt the energy
For you to be so young I found you to be very mature. I have a real respect for you now.❤
Love that Andre is being the voice of reason I hate seeing these two beefing they need to control the ego and emotions.
Love when my tribe makes peace and not war!
Claressa, had to catch herself from tearing up, because she truly loves Ali, and she would’ve never thought they would be in this space right now.
She's got serious issues. Ali isn't jealous of her. She made all that up in her mind. I used to cheer for this young lady, though now just want her to shut it down. All I ever hear about her is she's got a beef with male boxers and thinks she can beat them. Always putting down other female boxers.
All i get from this claressa sheilds interview is the beef started from "they said", "she said", "they said she felt kinda way". Thats a very bad scenario to base your beef on, because eventually all you've wasted your time beefing on, its BASELESS!!.
Claressa get a whole lots of things wrong in my opinion...and her Ego didnt help either. I hope she get things straight and move away from what people said, to what she actually witnessed herself. She is a great Champ.
Insecurities and ego will mess u outta alot of blessings.
She dont want that smoke
Both Queens have a little too much pride. My recommendation for both is more humility.
This is "our people" "Achilles' Heel"....so easily divided.
What you put out is what is retuned. Keep that in mind Claressa.
Laila laid the foundation but it's Clarissa Shields time. The exhibition would still be good. Old school vs new school.
Respect.....is a concept that isnt expressed regularly these days. Young folks really need to think before they speak and act. It can make the difference between good life and sad life.
Laila did disrespect her in that interview and Claressa had every right to call her out for it. And Laila was wrong. CLARESSA has made alot of money in women's Boxing and made a big name for herself. Claressa didn't wanna spar. She wanted to fight. And Laila didn't want that. End of discussion. And this is coming from a 49 year old man who loved him some Laila Ali and watched her entire Boxing career. Would of been a really good fight to watch..Laila had alot of power. I didn't like how Laila said that ALL LIVES MATTER bullshit though when BLM was a movement. That was wack and I lost some respect for her.
You said it out your own mouth, it went to your head !!!! 😆
I love how she say it can be fixed
Laila is Laila, she doesn't have Anything to prove or jealous of the new upcoming boxers.
Claressa you made good movie.
Shields respects Ali… period.. she just stands on she the best women’s boxer ever… she whoppin everybody but don’t get respect… Ali couldn’t stand the idea her time was over… sure people only kissed her butt her whole life being who her father was which brought only entitlement and jealousy later on…
Great interview Clarissa 🏆🏆
I feel bad for this young lady. I wish her the best, hope she grows and finds better people to be around.
