Comments Thread For: Nico Ali Walsh: I Think Tyson Fury is a Top Five Heavyweight of All Time

[REDEEMER]

Nico Ali Walsh has only fought 4 professional fights, and is already making punch drunk statement's.
I'm not saying he's punch drunk, what I'm saying is he doesn't what he's talking about.
As good as Tyson Fury is, he's not in the top 5, 10, or possibly 20 best heavyweights of all time.

He’s probably not much of an historian outside his relative , we have to remember even pro boxers today are more prone to be persuaded to buy into hype of media etc it’s the social media age . Real fans however who sit down watch fights look up records know you cannot be anywhere near a top 5 with 2 title defenses it’s just not going to happen with older fans who know the sport .

If he were to get undisputed then you can redirect the lack of resume to something but todays fans call Usyk Cruiserweight and Whyte , A.J bums etc so how is Fury getting all this credit from ?

top 25 based upon resume top 10 based upon size eye test and iq. Yet we dont go off potential we go off #s and resume klitschko was during a P.E.D era though ill give you that win. For klit cleaned out the shallowest division in history outside flyweight. Yet im not putting you in top 10 for beating wilder who fought no1 and beating whyte who is a gatekeeper the new chisora dude went life death with chisora got ko by povetkin whos same age as vladamir ***** so come on.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I find this kids approach using the name to make some quick cash so sad that i can't even watch his fights. This comment just says that his desperate for $. He better be thankfull that Laila isn't 25 or she woyld knock him out with or without head gear!

Grandson of the GOAT recognizes GOAT.

The latest and the greatest, but I remember Mike Tyson in his prime, big doesn't spell bad, and big George Foreman. Everything he threw hurt. The next great might still be a kid.

Do people fail to realise Ali was stripped for over 3 years of his prime?? And he still achieved what he did! Ain’t no HW come close to Muhammad Ali

[Ropeydope]

How is this dude’s commentary even remotely relevant. Oh, well. Good for his publicist for getting this headline in here. He’s the contender to watch out for.

Nobody can beat Ali? Sure I'll write off the Holmes loss as he was mentally and physically about 100 years old then, due to his condition, but the dude in his prime lost 3 times to Ken Norton. Nash knows that people like to pretend that Ali won 2 or 3 of those fights, but did he hell. And Norton, honestly was no great shakes. He'd certainly rank below even Hughie Fury, never mind GOAT Fury. Nash is telling you all now, prime Ali vs prime Joseph Parker would be a 50-50 fight. But the question is, can you handle that truth? Nash out - boxing expert.

He was not in his prime in any of the Norton fights. He didn't lose all three either. That's revisionist history. Also, if you think prime Ali-Joseph Parker is a 50/50 fight you have no credibility as a boxing fan.
