Photo: Nico Ali Walsh / Instagram   Nico Ali Walsh , the grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali , has made a name for himself in the boxing world. Recently, Jake Paul , the YouTuber-turned-boxer, challenged Walsh to a fight. However, Walsh has set conditions before accepting the challenge. Paul, who has been taking on big names to build his reputation in combat sports, fights at 185 pounds. Walsh, on the other hand, competes at 155 pounds. Walsh pointed out this weight difference, saying it would not allow either fighter to perform at their best. He suggested that Paul focus on opponents in his weight class instead. While Walsh respects Paul’s accomplishments, his priority is to advance his boxing career, not to take part in mismatched fights.

Photo: Floyd Mayweather (Instagram) Floyd Mayweather , known for his perfect 50-0 record, stirred up some controversy with his ranking of the top five greatest boxers of all time.  Mayweather, who often calls himself "The Best Ever," put himself in the top spot, which wasn't a shock to many. However, the rest of his list raised some eyebrows. Surprisingly, Mayweather didn't include boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson . Many fans believe Ali should always be in a top-five list, and while Tyson's place is debatable, his absence was still notable.  Photo: Floyd Mayweather (Instagram) Mayweather also left out other big names like Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard , both of whom are often considered among the greatest boxers ever.   Instead, Mayweather named four other boxers to join him in his top five.  During an Instagram Live with Fat Joe in 2020, he listed Pernell Whitaker, Roberto Duran, Larry Holmes, and Aaron Pryor as his picks.

Photo: Biaggio Ali Walsh (Instagram) Biaggio Ali Walsh has told Jake Paul to fight opponents who are closer to his own size after Paul’s recent fight offers to much smaller fighters. Walsh, a PFL lightweight and grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, said Paul should face fighters who weigh more similarly to him.

Both brothers have declined big-money offers from Paul, with Nico turning down $3 million for a fight.

Photo: Instagram/Anthony Joshua British heavyweight Anthony Joshua , known for his impressive boxing career, has declared Muhammad Ali as the greatest boxer ever. Joshua, an Olympic Gold Medalist from London 2012, quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the standout fighters of his era. After turning professional, Joshua achieved early knockouts, including a notable victory over Dillian Whyte in 2015 for the British title. He won his first world title by stopping Charles Martin and later unified the titles with wins over Joseph Parker and Wladimir Klitschko. Joshua faced a setback in 2019 with a loss to underdog Andy Ruiz Jr. but regained his titles in the rematch. Despite back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022, Joshua has since returned to form with victories over Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Francis Ngannou .

Dressed like a young Muhammad Ali, Rivera, then 23, scored a spectacular one-punch knockout against Jon Fernandez, moving his record to 21-0 with 14 KOs. Rivera, from the Dominican Republic, began his career with 14 straight wins at home before fighting once in Uruguay and then moving to the U.S. He changed his nickname from 'La Zarza' to 'Ali' because people told him he looked like a young Cassius Clay, who later became Muhammad Ali. Rivera's knockout of Fernandez, which left the Spaniard on the canvas in round eight, drew attention for his resemblance to Ali. After this win, Rivera continued his success with three more victories.

After the fight, Rivera tested positive for banned sub...

Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Gervonta Davis has shared his picks for the greatest boxers ever, listing Mike Tyson , Floyd Mayweather , and Muhammad Ali. This comes despite recent online clashes with Mayweather, his former mentor. Davis and Mayweather split in 2022. Even though they've been trading insults since then, Davis still respects Mayweather’s legacy. Mayweather, undefeated at 50-0, dominated boxing in the modern era. He won 15 major world titles across multiple weight classes and retired in 2017 after a huge fight with UFC star Conor McGregor . Mike Tyson, known for his powerful punches, was a dominant heavyweight champion. He faced top fighters like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. Tyson retired in 2005 but remains a boxing icon and will fight Jake Paul at age 58 in November . Photo: Instagram/Gervonta Davis Muhammad Ali is often considered the greatest boxer ever.

Photo: Instagram/Oleksandr Usyk Oleksandr Usyk , the current top heavyweight boxer, recently shared his thoughts on who he believes is the greatest heavyweight in history.  Usyk, who claimed all four major world titles with his victory over Tyson Fury in May, named Muhammad Ali as the greatest of all time. This victory was historic as it marked the first time since 1999 that one fighter held all the major heavyweight titles. The last to do so was Lennox Lewis , who held three recognized belts at the time.   Photo: Instagram/Oleksandr Usyk Usyk’s win over Fury in Saudi Arabia was a thrilling contest, with both fighters having their moments. However, Usyk ultimately secured the win, with a standout ninth round that saw Fury take a standing eight count after being hit with a right hook. In a recent word association game with DAZN, Usyk was asked who he thought was the "GOAT" (greatest of all time). His immediate response was, "Muhammad Ali." Ali, known as "The G...
