Katie Taylor is viewed as one of the greatest female boxers on the planet. Taylor recently gave her take on the top five female boxers in the world and even revealed who she believes is in the same class as her.
The WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring Lightweight Champion recently discussed the state of women's boxing in a sit-down with DAZN. In the interview, she was asked who she believes the five best female boxers on the planet are.
'KT' ranked Seniesa Estrada in fifth place. Estrada's professional record currently sits at a 22-0. 'Super Bad' is the reigning WBA female Strawweight Champion and has held titles in three different weight classes.
Taylor placed the unbeaten Mikaela Mayer in fourth place. The 31-year-old currently holds a 16-0 professional record. She is the reigning female WBO, IBF and The Ring Super Featherweight Champion.
Sitting in third place is Taylor's future opponent, Amanda Serrano. The Puerto Rican currently has a 42-1-1 pro record and is the WBC, WBO, and IBO women's Featherweight Champion. She's also the only female boxer to ever hold a title in more than four weight classes.
