Shavers, probably in the first round. Shavers was a quick starter, Grant was extremely slow one. He was knocked down 8 times in the first round in his career
Up for grabs for me. I know Grant gets a bad rap around here for being a pushover but he could be tough and was a very big man who could punch. If shavers is winning this it has to be fast and early or he might get mauled himself
People sometimes forget that Shavers himself was a glass cannon. Grant was a 6'7 athletic modern HW with a ton of weight, size and reach over Shavers. pre Lennox defeat and injuries/losing streak and decline he wasn't the worst and would definitely be live in this fight.
And he still looked far from impressive tons of times pre Lewis/Golota. Against Cole, Anis, Wooden, Sullivan. Was always hittable, never could undertsand high hopes for him
Yeah he was definitely overhyped. I think out of a necessity to hype a young American HW. That being said I'd still give him a good shot against Shavers.
