Was Michael Grant an underrated contender?

you know what Michael Grant and Lance Whitaker have in common....everything...size and reach but not much else....Grant should have got ko'd by Golota, and every other class fight exposed him...he's rated where he should be IMO.

 

i remember the build up to he's fight with lewis and i was thinking maybe this guy is gonna be a major threat to lewis having not seen much of him before hand only Highlights from he's match with Golota. he certainly looked the part and we all know what happen to him when the bell rang . Grant never really done that much after the loss except lose some more

 

I think he was WAY overrated. Typical HBO overhyped and overpromoted.

 

did anyone pick him to beat lewis? ...anybody got any articles or links of the press leading up to the fight?

 

lmao lewis leaves his left hoe i mean left low

 

From one Chicagoan to another Chicagoan...I think Grant was not only NOT underrated. I think he's overrated. He's physically gifted and should have done better than he's done. He's not a top tier heavyweight.

 

The commentating for the Grant-Lewis match is so biased it's laughable. As Lewis battered Grant around, Foreman said Lewis was making a mistake by not using his jab more

 

foreman is like that

 

Yeah, I don't think it was a case of Foreman being biased as much as him just being George Foreman.

 

I haven't rewatched the Grant-Golota fight in a while, but iirc, Grant's victory had everything to do with Golota's lack of heart and screwed up head.

 

Grant was a far better fighter then Lance Whitaker.

You can't fault the power of a guy that blew out Corey Sander's in a handful of rounds. Maskaev couldn't even dent Sanders, nor could Golota even though he beat on Corey so badly that Sander's went blind in one eye.

The Lennox fight was perhaps the most foul filled Lennox fight I've ever watched. The leaning and holding and hitting was ****ing terrible.

 

case in point ...watch bhop vs felix trinidad
