Brian Nielsen (GOAT)

One of the greatest and most underrated boxer of all time. A true knowledgeable boxing fan would know who I am talking about - the danish heavyweight champion Brian Nielsen. This guy had a god gifted talent his vision and technical attributes was just incredible. Brian Nielsen was 49-0 before he got some controversial loses.. Brian was out of his prime no major name dared to fight him in his prime only Larry Holmes did and Holmes got schooled by Nielsen.. The reason Nielsen never got the chance to fight for the big titles was because he was a Dane.. and that time there wasn’t money to make on a danish Nielsen later on when Nielsen lost his trust in the sport and wasn’t fighting serious anymore and only for the money Tyson and later on Holyfield took the risk to get such an incredible fighter on their cv.. If anyone fought Nielsen in his prime they would get a big time ass whooping... - -Mr Field fought a 6 yr retired Nielson operating on two surgical hip replacements,a joke of a fight but Field was desperate for $$$

That Danish pastry was trash. I think you had to go to him to fight. Anytime he stepped it up he would get stopped. Then there is that Rocky curse that people lose in a weird way once you hit 49-0

While I do consider Tyson a better boxer than Brian, it's worth noting that Tyson hit him below the belt and Brian wasn't the same for the rest of the fight after that. Brian also likely got drugged before the first Dicky Ryan fight, but when sober, you saw how he schooled Ryan in the The Holyfield fight wasn't that controversial, it was just a cowardly act by Holyfield to fight Brian when he was so far past his best. GTFOH! Holyfield: tell Tyson, Foreman, Bowe, Lewis and Moorer and those 10+ million dollar paydays to get fccked I need to fight this Nielsen guy for half million. See how dumb that is. Tyson hit him below the belt once and that’s all she wrote? Not much of a fighter. Dicky Ryan? Whoever the fcck that is

Also his loss against Holyfield.. He was hit in the neck and was wrongly stopped.. to early stoppage and Holyfield should have been disqualified.. also Nielsen was winning on 2 of the scrorcards... Against Dickie Ryan Nielsen was winning on points on all 3 cards but because of some health problems up to the fight.. He Couldn’t compete optimal and was stopped in the last round even though he was winning on points.. (A true warrior every other fighter wouldn’t have fought in that condition) 67 fights 64 wins.. and 3 very controversial stoppages.. now recognise ... When an expert like Teddy Atlas says Nielsen was unbeatable in his prime there must be something about it..

People avoided Nielsen in his prime. In his prime he was unbeatable as Teddy Atlas described him! Link? I have a tough time believing Atlas described Nielsen as “unbeatable “. Nielsen was an average contender at best. The versions of Holmes, Witherspoon and Tubbs he beat were ancient and Nielsen only got a split vs Holmes.

He was in direct competition for most padded resume with valuev

Besides Holmes, Witherspoon and Tubbs are notable names on Nielsen's resume. Their 'schooling' was worse than Holmes'. :)
