    Deontay Wilder is Michael Grant with a bigger punch and less skills.

        AJ and Fury mop the floor with Grant. Ruiz and Ortiz would be decent fights.

          So he just wouldn’t fight any of those guys until his 40th fight and then lose to Fury around fight 44.

            Every time americans dont have belt in a division its a 'weak era'. This happens every damn time. If Joshua and fury were american youd all be saying its the hottest division in boxing and two of the best p4p fighters. But cause its two brits holding all the belts and weve got the best prospects too, the division must be ****e...Let me guess, 154 is the best division now?

              I really don’t care about the nationality of the heavyweight champion.

              And honestly, besides the 90s and the 70s, the heavyweight division has always been weak outside of the dominant champion.

              This era was being built up as another 70s or 90s type era.

              It’s the Klitschko era but Fury is the new Klitschko. That’s all.

              That’s what usually happens.

                You were boycotting the fight and now you’re claiming Fury as your own along with British supremacy. Lol. Get out of you here, you clown. Fury is ours. You all turned your back on him.

                  Matched as carefully as Wilder, he probably could.

                    Grant was much better than he gets credit for. He was brought along the right way. They slowly increased his level of competition during is rise up the ranks. He was handled very well. He was in with the 90s journeymen like Jeff Wooden, Lionel Butler, Ross Puritty, Al Cole, Ray Anis, Jorge Luis Gozalez & Corey Sanders (Not Wlad's Conqueror). They moved him up to the next level fighting guys who were fringe level gatekeepers like Lou Savarese, David Izon & Obed Sullivan. At that point he was ready for the next level. He beat Golota in a great foul filled title eliminator before getting crushed by Lennox Lewis. Lewis was simply one of the best ever so no shame losing to him. He took a long layoff & came back to fight McCline. He badly broke his ankle & he was off again for a year recovering. He was never the same when he came back. He tried to build himself back up with Teddy Atlas but his desire was gone. I remember his fight with Gilbert Martinez. Atlas told him after the fight he wasn't sure if he still had the desire. His next fight Dominick Guinn dropped him several times before stopping him. Atlas split with Grant & he got a few more decent paydays against Adamek, Tye Fields, Botha, Takam, Charr & Zimnoch but he never found that fire after the McCline fight. I always thought Grant's handlers brought him through the ranks the correct way. They didn't rush him. They kept him active & slowly upped his level of competition so when he fought Golota he was ready. The loss to Lennox & the injury layoff after the McCline fight zapped him of his drive to be a fighter at the top level. He had a decent career though...
