hes trash
but thats one bad ass avtar -
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 lewisOriginally posted by paul750what 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
after that fight he showed no heart and chin. so until lewis fight he was great after that all went wrong.

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!Comment

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 TeddyOriginally posted by paul750what 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 lewisComment

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.Originally posted by martinwbcI don't reckon it was his chin that was the problem with Lewis...

i think ike ibeabuchi was suposed to fight him in his next fight, i don't think grant would have survived 12 rounds with himOriginally posted by kaperskymaybe 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.
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 togetherComment
