    A bit sad in fact, would probably be a dominant champ if he was fighting in this era...

    The last anyone heard from Akinwande, he was supposed to fight Holy circa 98, but got sick and pulled out shortly before.

    I think as a result Holy fought Vaugh Bean instead.

    Last I saw of him was the McCall loss on the Lewis-Rahman II undercard.

    In autumn of 1999, Boxing Monthly had a picture of Michael Grant on its third page. In the picture Grant sat on canvas with a grin on his face (Golota fight).

    The caption said (paraphrasing) "Michael Grant takes a moment as he realizes that even though he is not very good, he still is one of the best heavyweights of the moment and as a result of that will make millions"

    The obvious implication was that the era of Lewis, Holy, Byrd, Tua, Akinwande, Moorer,Hide etc. was not too good.

    I remember that magazine. It is defunct now. I remember that episode too.

    First ever boxing magazine I bought was the edition of Boxing Monthly featuring Foreman and Briggs, from 1997

    Apropos of what you say above, Briggs was the Linear champ with that win.

    Yes. That Briggs.
