Katie Taylor ranks high on AI's combined male and female combined P4P list
Katie Taylor is the fourth greatest fighter of the 21st century, at least according to AI, after a new list was released. IFL TV Boxing recently shared an AI-generated list of the top Pound-for-Pound fighters in the 21st century, with the Bray Bomber ahead of Andre Ward. Understandably, Floyd Mayweather topped the list, retiring with a 50-0 record, while two-time Olympic champion Claressa Shields is the only female higher than Taylor on the list. Manny Pacquiao is in third, while the AI list says of Taylor in fourth, "Olympic gold medalist, undisputed lightweight (and super-lightweight) pro champion, significant in elevating women's boxing." Taylor's rival, Amanda Serrano, is in sixth place, with Oscar De La Hoya, Laila Ali, Juan Manuel Marquez, and Holly Holm rounding out the list. Although lists are always subjective and open for debate, the general public seemed dismayed with the selections, with a number of notable absences. The three current top-ranked men in Oleksandry Usyk, Naoya Inoue, and Terence Crawford all failed to make the list, nor are the likes of Joe Calzaghe, Canelo Alvarez, or Bernard Hopkins. "Biggest banter list I've seen," said one user. "AI is broken," said another. And although the AI-generated list won't be the definitive list to define the greatest, it at least shows the esteem in which Taylor is regarded. Having pioneered women's boxing and won an Olympic Gold medal in 2012, Taylor went on to carve one of the truly great boxing careers for herself. Most recently, Taylor put together a comprehensive performance to convincingly beat Amanda Serrano in Madison Square Garden to win the trilogy 3-0. She also further cemented her legacy by bouncing back against her shock loss to Chantelle Cameron with a split decision win in November 2023. Now 39, Taylor is certainly in the twilight of her career and has given no indication if she will retire or fight on.

Mike Tyson gives hilarious response to viral 100 men vs one gorilla question - as boxing legend reveals his bizarre strategy for taking down primate
Mike Tyson has waded into the viral silverback gorilla debate, claiming the animal would get 'f**cked up' if it had to fight 100 versions of the former world heavyweight champion. There's been plenty of social media chatter recently on what it would take to beat a gorilla in hand-to-hand combat. The debate has focused on the prospects of 100 fighters vs a lone silverback. Some social media users have gone as far as to post AI videos detailing fights between a gorilla and 100 men. Speaking to IFLTV boxing, the boxer was asked if 100 Mike Tysons would stand a chance against a full-size gorilla. 'The gorilla's gonna get f**ked up,' claimed Tyson. View this post on Instagram A post shared by IFL TV Boxing (@ifltvboxing) Mike Tyson revealed his bizarre strategy if 100 versions of the former boxer fought a gorilla 'Because you have to think, no serious. '100 of us right, 20 at a time rushing him, biting him, get that motherf**ker, he's not gonna do well. 'We're gonna stomp his teeth out of his mouth, kick him in the b**ls, grab his d**k, he's not going to do it. 'I don't know what to tell you what we'd do to that gorilla. '100 of me? Get out of here!' Tyson's prediction may well have been tested decades ago when he unsuccessfully tried to take on a Gorilla in New York City. During his boxing prime, Tyson tried to bribe a worker at the Bronx Zoo to let him into the cage and take a swing at a silverback. 'When we got to the gorilla cage there was one big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas,' Tyson told The Sun in 2020. 'They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant 'I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let me smash that silverback's snotbox! 'He declined…' Tyson lasts boxed for real in November, taking on YouTuber Jake Paul. In only his second fight since 2005, Tyson, much older than Paul at 58, lasted the full eight rounds but lost in a unanimous decision to his younger opponent.
