After Muhammad Ali’s grandson won by a TKO during the first round of his pro boxing debut Saturday night, Nico Ali Walsh’s grandmother offered an assessment of his performance.

As Ali Walsh pounded his opponent with a barrage of punches, chants of “Ali, Ali," rang out as they did for his late grandfather. Never mind that his opponent, Jordan Weeks, looked badly overmatched. The moment triggered a question: 

How good could Muhammad Ali’s grandson be? Good enough to conjure memories of The Greatest?
