Michael Grant was hyped as the next big thing. 6'8 and extremely athletic. Lewis destroyed him and ended his career.
You gonna tell me you of all people. Some ABIFE (too bad you don't know what that word means) knows more than boxing scouts?
Inside experts PUT Golota and Ruddock as FAVORITES against Lewis. Lewis destroyed them.
I can almost bet everything I got that you have never watched
Lewis v Golota
Lewis v Grant
or
Lewis v Ruddock.
But I guess that's why you full knowledge about the tiny little baby fighters and know nothing about divisions higher than 147.
And Im no Lewis hater , I dont follow the HWs much these days the competition has been pitiful for years now .

He ended USA dominance over heavyweight boxing after like 120 years, his punches sent shockwaves throughout the nation that were felt from the white house, to graceland.
It was so bad, that American childeren were too terrified to lace up a glove if they were over 200lb, and there hasn't been a good heavyweight since.

I've never seen the greatness that many claim. He had the advantage of being huge and fought conservative enough to win a lot. That definitely makes him a worthy champ, but it's not the fabric of greatness. I think there's something mental that was missing. The man had no grit.
I hate saying that as so many people really adore the guy. I just didn't get excited about his fights, even though he was really good.

No grit? I think that means 'no heart' or 'no courage' right?
As a 15 fight novice he challenged 35-0 Gary Mason. Who had a 100% KO Ratio. Everybody was calling Lewis stupid and foolish for stepping up that fast. He took murderous punches in that fight, because let's face it.. he was green. He literally walked Mason down.
He fought Ruddock when everyone thought he was gonna get knocked out. Ruddock was one of the biggest punchers in the division and he ended up getting destroyed.
Bruno threw everything and the kitchen sink at Lennox and Lewis walked through that, on route to knocking Bruno out.
Went to war against a Prime Mercer, round five.. blood dripping, Lennox took multiple combinations to the face and was being sledge hammered, Lennox answers back with a vicious four shot combination of his own and a upper cut.
Lampley screaming 'THIS IS HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING AT MSG THIS IS MSG THIS IS MSG'
Lewis getting shocked by Mccall.. (debatable stoppage)... rediscovering himself and taking on huge risk fights like KO Artist Tommy Morrison. Ended up tko6ing him.
Fought muderous punchers throughout his entire career. Went to war against the bigger 6'8 American golden boy future of boxing Michael Grant. Took Grant's soul.
Old and heading towards shot status, he avenged his defeat against Rahman. Literally a corpse and shot to pieces. went to war against Prime Vitali. Another 6'8 giant.
Avenged all his defeats.. walked through Hell and back.. ya No grit.

We get it, mate.
The guy that got knocked spark the fuck out by two fat Yanks, and won gold for Canada, is the greatest Limey HW of all time.
Fookin tit's, innit.
