One potential opponent has dismissed any chances of a meeting between the two pound-for-pound best female fighters in the world as IBF and WBA middleweight champion Claressa Shields insists that the weight disparity is too great.
Shields, who can add the can add the vacant WBC belt to her collection when she meets Scotland's Hannah Rankin in Kansas, knows that the argument about the greatest female fighter in the world is down to Taylor and herself but can't see the fight coming to fruition.
"I think that would be a dream match-up, but too bad we're too far apart in weight," Shields told Sky Sports. The lowest I'll go is 154lbs, and I think the highest she'll ever go is probably 140lbs.
"I don't think the fight will ever be made, but me and her are definitely neck and neck as far as people may like her style better, people might like my style better, but we're definitely one and two."Explore more on these topics:
