    Equality is not what we should strive for, equality of opportunity is.

    I'll have a proper read through your response to me @Minty when I get the chance

    But never the top prize of heavyweight champion, it’s just the way it is.i wasn’t talking about you with the people thinking equality means everybody is the same and theirs no differences, it’s depressing how often people seem to go down that route when this argument comes up.

    There’s always an excuse that can be made I suppose to stop direct competition.

    I can assure you the women won’t want to play On the male Circuit if it was made available, it would cost them too much.
    I wouldn’t say Venus Williams or several other women players are is at much of a physical disadvantage to many male tennis players.

    You brought up different weights at boxing, not sure why?? there are non at tennis.

    It’s not an ‘excuse’.
    A lot of female players would be though. You’re being deliberately obtuse.
    No I didn’t.

    Venus and Serena would be at a massive physical disadvantage to most of the men, hence why Serena herself admitted she would have no chance against anyone in the top 500 rankings of the men.. or something to that effect. Apologies if I have misquoted her. Those girls are big and strong but they still lack massively physically in comparison to the top male athletes in the sport.
