Lennox Lewis career
And much more
Quotes
?Everybody wants to see Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev the fight will create a lot of action, excitement and I?m sure will not go the distance.?
?The kid is very long, very strong, fast and he can punch. I think Bernard Hopkins will be biting off more than he can chew with Beibut Shurmenov.?
?I think Roy Jones should retire, he?s put together a hall of fame career. Boxing is a very dangerous game, I have seen him hurt a few times he?s had a few bad loses, I saw his fight in Russia and it looked like his legs were gone, in my opinion he should retire.?
?Everybody wants to see Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.?
?There are a lot of reason?s involved, Floyd won?t do business with Bob Arum and maybe Floyd Mayweather?s camp figure Pacquiao will give Mayweather some problems.?
?Amir Khan has impressed no one, he got knocked out by Danny Garcia at 140.You have got so many other guys Mayweather could of fought besides Khan, guys like Manny Pacquiao and Provodnikov. Picking Khan is strictly business for Floyd.?
?The Floyd Mayweather-Amir Khan fight is not a fight I will be excited to see.?
?It?s time for Deontay Wilder to step up make a move. Chris Arreola would be a good fight for him.?
?The Klitschko?s never had the Mike Tyson the Riddick Bowe; I think that really hurt their careers.?
?Broner didn?t walk away, he didn?t quit. This fight will either make him or break him.?
?If I was managing Broner?s career I would make him drop down to 140 and grow into a weight class.?
?I heard stories about Broner?s partying and his drinking. Broner needs to stay focused on boxing, maybe that loss will wake him up get him back to business.?
It was indeed a pleasure talking to former light heavyweight champion Montell Griffin, I hope you enjoyed this interview and a special thanks to Montell for his time.
