    Michael Grant?

    what are people's thought's on michael Grant? did any of you guys believe the hype about him? i guess it just goes to show you can't win anything with no chin, the guy looked physically tremendous though,he looked like he was a champion, but was eventually found out against lewis

      He is pretty bad, it is shame that somebody can be that big and still not be a decent fighter!

        i though he was great until he fight lewis. i though he could be new champ he had size,power and stamina. but he looks weak vs lewis
        after that fight he showed no heart and chin. so until lewis fight he was great after that all went wrong.

          I thought he was overrated when I saw him fight Savarese and he had trouble knocking Savarese out. Then he fought Golota and Golota exposed his big dumb-ass before Golota went into the fetal position and quit like a *****.

            I don't reckon it was his chin that was the problem with Lewis... More the fact that Lennox was a BIG step up in class, and picked him to pieces!

              I'll admit, i believed the hype, the guy was 6'7" and 250lbs, with great athletic ability, and "supposedly" a granite chin, but we quickly found out that he couldn't handle the bright lights of the big events (or at least his chin couldn't)... I think a quality trainer may have gotten some great things out of Grant, Don Turner and Teddy Atlas are the 2 most over-rated trainers of our generation...Atlas especially, the way he degraded Grant after his VICTORY over Gilbert Martinez was shameless introverted BS on Teddy's part, and it messed up Grant mentally going into the fight with Guinn, I thought Michael would tear Guinn to shreds but the kid had no confidence by then, thanks to Teddy

                maybe that to, he started well but after lewis knock him down once, he never came back, he was holding and didnt did anything just waiting to lewis knock him out. he got tyson´s mentality got chin or not but once they are down they never comeback.

                  i think ike ibeabuchi was suposed to fight him in his next fight, i don't think grant would have survived 12 rounds with him it just so happens that lewis got first stab at him, he was always going to be exposed anyway

                    I remember thinking Grant never knew what to do when he got hit. When he started taking shots against Guinn for instance, his defence would go to pieces and he'd drop his hands and walk into more shots. I think he was down to be fighting tonight but I don't know if it came together
