#1. Undisputed women's heavyweight title: Claressa Shields vs. Danielle Perkins

The Claressa Shields vs. Danielle Perkins bout takes place for the GWOAT's undisputed women's heavyweight title, which she recently captured with a rare knockout over Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse. Unfortunately, women's heavyweight is devoid of any other compelling challenge for Shields.

A rematch with heated rival Savannah Marshall was teased, but never came to fruition. So, Shields settled on Perkins, who she should annihilate when they finally clash. Not only does Shields have far more experience at 15-0 compared to Perkins, who is just 5-0, there are other factors to consider.

While Perkins is large at six feet tall, she does not have much power. Moreover, she is 42 years old, and has never been past 8 rounds at the highest-level of the sport. Shields should defeat her with relative ease by dragging her into the deep waters of championship rounds.

Perkins may be game, but she is in over her head, and barring a jaw-dropping upset, Shields likely retains her title with a comfortable decision win.
