Ariel Helwani gave her this idea the other day on his show, she claimed she didn’t know pros could be in the Olympics now, but she said she would go back if she can.
What is there to talk about really with Shields? She is just better than other women in a very slim talent pool and has a huge ego. None of these experienced pros should be fighting kids in the AMs in their rightful place as an Olympic competitor its pathetic.
The Olympics is not for kids. It's for the world's best athletes. If you can't fight a +300 bout Cuban or Russian or even a 10-bout pro, then you shouldn't fight in the Olympics.
What's the difference with Claressa going back to say, Teofilo Stevenson coming back for his third Olympic gold? There have even been several boxers who fought in four Olympics.
