You know.. i saw the title and only clicked the article to get confirmation that there indeed is another boxer named Michael Grant. I mean, its a common enough name right? Surely this wasn't the Grant that had his soul extracted from his body via a Lennox Lewis uppercut. But lo and behold...

As far as Grant, I liked him when he was coming up and heading into the fight with Lewis. He got completely embarrassed in that fight. Had a nice jab and a good right hand but nothing else. Should have retired after that fight. It's a shame. He was an intelligent, well spoken man back then. How much could he even be making for a fight like this? Sad to see guys still fighting for so little money.

They are built like twins
As far as opponents I think Izon, Savarese, & Golota are better than any 3 Wilder has faced.
Was Ortiz better than Golota?
I say doubtful.....interesting imo
