    not saying he isnt nice and if he wants to feed his family its up to him how he does it, but it may be better for him not to after the lewis fight he always looked like he went to pieces when when hit hard .

    Interesting, wasn't he mentioned as a possible Arreola opponent the year before last? :think

    Best of luck to him if he is serious about him.

    Grant was severely overhyped after Golota fight. Every time he stepped up he was brutally KO'd (with the exception of Golota, who wasn't far from getting TKO1 either, and quit when on the best way to get a decision anyway).

    Even if he would be 100% of his former self (which I doubt, based on his age and previous comeback), it wouldn't be much - a fighter that looks impressive against C level fighters, but otherwise folds every time he meets a decent opponent. The combination of weak chin and leaky defence won't get you too far even in current HW, and I have the impressionGrant was never able to learn anything about defence.

    What trainer would help make Grant all he can be at this point in his career? Could somebody teach an old dog new tricks and rebuild Grant starting with the jab?
