Ever debated what makes a boxing legend—KO power or title stacks? Let’s talk Claressa Shields: 2 Olympic golds, 19 world titles across 5 divisions, 18-0 pro record, but only 3 KOs. Laila Ali joked she has more KOs than Shields has wins. This Saturday, Shields faces Kaye Scott for WBA/WBC middleweight titles in Atlanta. She says wins matter most but is working on more KOs. A historian calls her once-in-a-gen, and she’s the highest-paid female boxer. She also clapped back at Amanda Serrano’s upcoming KO record bid, saying skill beats KO counts. What’s your take? Do KOs make a legend, or is title dominance enough?
