    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.
    The man just passed, theres no need to be calling him names.

    Also I think he'll be remembered by much more then just the guy who dropped Tyson during sparring.
    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.

    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.
