Shouldn't she sound a little like her dad? I mean he is her dad
And she is just like her pops a great fighter that's awesome
5:30 she talks about coming out of retirement. You're welcome
Thank you😊

Thanks for telling me so I didn't have to 😉
Its not clickbait
Not really! You got what you came for!
Stephen A isn't as loud with this one, mostly because he's in range to get snuffed 🤛
AAAHAHAHAHA

Lmaoo 😂🤣
Good one
It's because he's sitting next to Laila 🤗😍🤤🙃
She is BEAUTIFUL!!! and that little bass in her voice is 🔥!!!
Yes sir 💯💯💯💯💯
Deep voice chicks usually fine like Beyonce too 😆
Sounds like her daddy
Cap cap cap
?-she's just s beautiful woman regardless of her voice tone-lol,I'm confused
Well Clarissa just did a live with A LOT MORE MOUTH this time around. So I hope she sees it and get inspired! Let's go ladies. I'll be buying that PPV for sure!
Unfortunately Shields is too small. She will get done like Christy Martin who was on steroids also back then. Straight pummeled. Size matters, and even at an advanced age Laila is too big. Shields wouldn't be able to hurt her.
@@Paul.Burrell bru stop. U right she could be over powering to someone like Martin. That lady is 5'5. Shields not that small at 5'9 maybe 5"10. Ali is only 5'10 where do yall keep getting all this "shes too big" from? They can come in at the same weight easy.
@@gerryclemonsii Bruh how many knockouts does Claressa have?
@@gerryclemonsii Shield's fights at a lower weight than Ali did, and just because they weigh the same, doesn't mean they are "naturally" the same size. Floyd can 160 but he isn't a natural middleweight. Shield's height has nothing to do with anything. She could win, but Ali wouldn't want the fight if they were the same size. That would be suicide. She is over 40, and hasn't fought in over a decade, plus she's twice her age. C'mon. Ali isn't stupid. She knows the size difference is a huge factor.
@@thomash1268 ain't nobody said she'll knock her out. I dont think Shield's can do that just yet but she won't get touched like Ali think she can touch her. Way too fast for an older Ali. Shes gonna do to Ali like she did Hammer. My not b able to make a complete fool of Ali like she did Hammer but she wont be getting rocked by Ali that's for sure.
Gigi was Kobe’s Laila :( sad we won’t get to experience that, but it’s beautiful seeing Laila carry the torch of her father.
Preach....
Facts
FACTSSS
Stop it! Gigi has never done anything for people to say whether she was good or great. Her name is only in the mouth of people because her father is Kobe. Laila is an undefeated boxer with 24 fights and 21 knockouts so there is no comparison in any way whatsoever. As a matter of fact, Laila didn't even have the help of her father because her father thought that she could not do what she did. Gigi had a chance to be either good or great just like any other person but she is not here with us anymore. God Bless Her Soul.
Samuel Bowen stop hating. Gigi was doing great things for a player of her age. No need to shun her greatness.
If I dated Laila Ali..I'd be like "I'm sorry babe am I raising my voice? you hungry"?

I really don't think She can take Rissa
No it's Mouffa😆
When a Black Woman starts moving that hand & throes out slang like- "Mouffa", it ain't no joke. You don't know Where the rhetoric is going next....
Laila needs only 15seconds to knock out either stephen a smith or max in a bout round1
😁😁
Lmfao
@WO0 yEAHHH cap they may not be as physically capable but in a situation where a female has the obvious skill advantage she would win.
I bet Max could last a round before he got KO'd. Stephen A would be fucked
Facts
😩😩 Her confidence is *EVERYTHING*!!!
Louis Williams she needs to be my wife
It's in her DNA
You ain't lying. Lol. And it sounds genuine
I love how she politely said no one could ever be her dad 👍
Wasn’t a lie
Stephen A looks mostly lost in this conversation. Boxing: out of his element.
for the right money he'll come host your baby shower...he's out here bag chasing..and I aint madd at him
He doesn't have to be Bombastic- all the time. He's being- "Differientcial"(spelling-?) To Max the boxing dude, Laila & Molly....
She is still gorgeous
42 years old??!!!....Aging like fine wine!! Beautiful!!!
Tru that. Black don't crack
Yep she’s aging great, it also helps when you take care of yourself, Drink water and watch what you put in your body.
Stephen looks unimpressed, but he up to no good. He is totally instigating this fight with Clarissa vs. Laila
Thats all they wanted to talk about.. messy
You're right
"When the 💰 right Laila there every night" - Laila Ali
She did say that before.✔
Biggie
We'll see!!!
Well it is called Prize fighting....Even when the losing purse is all you can strive to achieve, which would be more than she ever made.
She needs to put that pride to the side. She retired young and now she's in her 40's. Clarrisa is 24 chill out Laila.
Laila Ali😍😍
Laila Ali so fine 😍
I think so too
Yes Laila is attractive; just like hanna gabriels & cecilia braekhus but can Laila still fight? The other women I mentioned can!
She's really smart and strong just like her great father! Real champs!
The Claressa Shields chatter is the only reason they had her on the show.
Rising Sun True!!! Who Doesn’t want to see this fight tho!!???
Facts...
Nahh it’s the other way around, she is here only because of the potential possibility for a payday
@@prasan7th Negative, because if all she wanted was a payday she only had to accept Shields’ challenge. The fight would have been made and she would’ve had her payday. She ain’t lookin for no payday, she’s defending her ego.
@@JonMarM bruh she is 40 and out of touch in boxing, she may have to get back in shape. And until then why not promote the fight. I am sure ESPN would be happy to have her any day for boxing takes over that clown SAS
Claressa Shields better get Eddie Hearn on the line to get the money to make this fight.
Her last fight was on Showtime so why would she call Eddie Hearn for this?
@@ajanitpv1359 because he has dazn now ... and is awesome at marketing fighthers
@@ajanitpv1359 cause showtime ain't got the clout to get the money for such a fight.
@@genretypebeats4612 Exactly!
We need that fight

Put the purse up!!!
Ali got power behind her hands.
Let's get it Ali❤🧡❤🧡❤🧡❤🧡
I remember watching Muhammad Ali and
Howard Cosell in the 70’s and today watching Laila Ali and Stephen A, it was MAGIC! Laila was so sharpe in everything she was speaking about and she was just great!!! I would like for ESPN to bring Laila Ali in as a sports commentator on all their sports shows! This was great tv today.
she risks losing a decision in a 20 minute fight, get that money Champ!
She beat up some soccer moms in her day.
dbreiden83080 exactly like shield will embarrass her.
Come on, she'll obviously train for it, and George Foreman put tha time off argument to rest when he won the heavyweight championship at age 40. Never underestimate the heart of a champion- Rudy T.
@Killua zoldyck George Foreman becomes oldest heavyweight champ. On November 5, 1994, George Foreman, age 45, becomes boxing's oldest heavyweight champion when he defeats 26-year-old Michael Moorer in the 10th round of their WBA fight in Las Vegas. Shut up ;)
@Killua zoldyck OMG!!! Since you obviously don't get where I;m coming from.... just stop talking. Ali is a seasoned veteran and pro. You use words like "demolish her"?REALLY??? COMON MAN!!!
Molly was like nah I’m gotta get cute😂
Delance Oliver 😆
Yoooooooo‼️ this probably lame asf but that’s a lot of likes😅😂
There will always be someone begging for attention even after you've proven yourself.
Laila is a heartbreaker In or out the ring.
Laila Ali’s voice sounds like Muhammad’s
No lie I’ll pay $100 for that Ali vs Shields
You think this is worthy of being the highest priced PPV in combat sports history? lol...this fight is either going to be for free on espn/showtime/dazn or an undercard for a regular PPV. No way they can get the interest of the masses to justify being the main event of a PPV and definitely not at $100
@@kevinflowers463 you dead wrong there! you havent seen these women fight!
I'd pay 15 dollars if they fight naked
@@itstime45 I'm one of the biggest fans of females fighting. Ever. It ain't a fight worth paying for. Laila old. 13 years away is a long time. Claressa, I love her, but her power has not been worked on properly. I don't think it's worth it. It's a free tv fight
@@itstime45 i actually have seen ali fight a few times times and shields once...how many people do you think even know who shields is? Combat sport fans probably know her more from the rumors of her going to ufc and being interested in nunes than they do from boxing. Laila boxed frazier's daughter, tell me how much interest that match brought...how many women boxers do you think people can even name? Lets be real, women's boxing is in a horrible place.These two are going to get humbled if they try to headline a PPV and charge regular PPV prices ($59.99), forget about about the original comment suggesting $100 lol
Lol the ones that keep saying “she’s too old” gonna been the same ones to say “I knew she was going to win” if this fight happens. Clearly she is in great shape and stated that’s she been in the gym since retirement from boxing. Age don’t make you a champion, Heart does!
Being in the ring consistently and fighting makes you a champion....13 year lay off is a long time.
@sunnstarrr plenty of boxers have been fighting and in the ring consistently and aren’t champions. Not saying that she’s ready to go now but of course by the time that there is a fight...if it happens...best believe She will be ready.
Jeremy M Facts, love how you worded this. People just love to hate
King Big Sha right
@@JeremyM2 I don't think people is questioning her ability I'm sure she will be ready but at this stage of her career her age will play a huge factor and I don't think she can beat Clarissa. I really wanna see them fight but I highly doubt it will ever happen just like the fight between Anne and her that never happened
She’s beautiful but, too old to take punches to her head. Those punches heal slower at 42, be a commentator and nothing more. No need to compromise her health.
Tell this to George Foreman who won a title becoming the oldest Heavyweight at 45 at the time I think Laila would take it to Clarissa she isn't respecting her elders here.
I see what you're saying I really do but idk, I feel like she will mess this girl up
J. Brown Laila still talking ....so she needs to shut up and fight Shields ... $5 million for her to lose is a big payday..... it makes sense the money is there
@@mansamusa9077 Pffft sounds like Clarissa needs Laila more than Laila needs her she want's that bag Laila's Legacy is stamped
@@mansamusa9077 Shields is too small. Go watch Christy Martin vs Laila. That would be the size difference, and Christy was probably on roids back then. Shields would be way too small, and the punches would be too devastating to her.
Until we see a reign as long as Laila's, I will still consider her the greatest out of respect for the Legacy she built. But Clarissa is going to be the next great one and it's not even a question at this point, its an inevitability. In Laila's prime this would have been a fight of the century. She was a force of nature like her father, but she needs to learn his lesson. Even if she somehow wins, her body will pay a price like his did.
Great comment
@@phillipclarke-qc6vf WHATS YALL WAS SAYIN>> LAILA FOUGHT FAKE BOXERS LOL
Greatest what? Woman boxer? LOL. That's like saying "the greatest WNBA player of all time" -- no one cares. Women's basketball is apparently garbage as is women's boxing.

X Breezy she’s 42
@X Breezy I would've love to see her knockout Clarissa too but she hasn't dominated the sport since 2007. Come on that's not fair. Let her chill and continue to collect those huge checks. Run her brand and raise her kids.
42 is not young for a Professional Fighter. Being in shape is one thing, being in RING SHAPE, (which I think she's not) is something else altogether.
If they were to fight it's a good 3 years from now, & and she'll be 45 yrs old. She's been inactive for 13 years.

Creole Cookery so is shields. 13 year ring rust ali has. she will get smoked. no way a 13 year retired fighter is going to beat a 24 year old current undefeated champion. this is not rocky. this is real life. she is willing to risk her health and record over nonsense. she has nothing to prove. she needs to keep it classy and ignore shields' big mouth.
@@warchild9750 Shields big mouth?! Laila started yapping first.

Nothing to be scared of. She’s a business woman and a family woman
Monster2424 Miguel A great resume? Shields with just 10 pro fights has already a better resume, Ali never fought someone like Christina Hammer, the only real competition back then was Ann Wolfe and she wanted none of that.
