Former boxing champ Greg Page dies at 50

I seen an hour documentary thing before on Page and his accident. He was really messed up, in a wheel chair and almost paralyzed.
His wife is right when she says he's in a better place now.
He'll probably be remembered best for dropping Mike Tyson in sparring before his fight with Buster Douglas.
So you know I edited the last part of your 1st statement.Quote:

He was an outstanding amateur with several chips.
As a pro he fought top fighters early on.
He fought everyone and anyone win, lose or draw he was a fighter who would tango with anyone.
May he R.I.P.
Sad news.RIP mate.*
Rip Champ!

Terrible news, Greg was a tough man who would fight anyone.
My best to his family
R.I.P champ. You went to places we can only dream of.:(
R.I.P Greg
RIP, he will be missed. He arguably never reached his potential in the ring, but he certainly did outside of it.
Tragic way to go.
God bless.
Very sad, RIP Greg
My thoughts are with his family at this sad time
Thanks for the memories Champ.
thoughts,prayers with the family.RIP Mr.Greg Page
As Joe Louis said when he heard Rocky Marciano had been killed in the 'plane crash:
"Count ten over him ......... he'll get up"
Rest in peace, Greg. Another champ gone.

Well excuse me. I thought I was being respectful and honest there.
Page was excellent fighter at his best, and could still take the best a few rounds even in the 90s.
Billed as the New Ali, Greg may not quite of lived up to that, but he still was one of the best of the Lost Generation.
A tragic ring death (possibly the most tragic, because of the time involved), I hope lessons were learnt.
