Great video of Greg Page knocking Tyson down 1990

That's not Greg Page. That's Oliver McCall!

That's not Greg Page. That's Oliver McCall!

No its Greg Page you can tell by the footwork, Greg Page was a poor man's Muhammad Ali. There's footage of Oliver McCall sparring Mike Tyson and McCall walked out of the ring complaining.

Greg Page had the tools to be a very good fighter, but he was too lazy and his prime was very short. He went from being one of the best Heavyweight prospects, to a journeyman who got stopped twice by someone like Mark Willis, talk about a fall from grace.

When it happened, it wasn't hushed up and every fight fan saw it. As Larry Merchant said, guys get knocked down in sparring all the time. Don't read too much into it. It was unusual just because it was Tyson and he had the aura of invincibility at the time. Considered pound-for-pound #1 at the time.

wow, did they actually stop the sparring afterwards?

Just shows what happens when you spar thinking you have something to prove.

I feel bad for Greg Page. He was in a horrible car crash that ruined his life and I believe he passed away recently.

Sad he is mostly remembered for dropping Mike Tyson in sparring. That seems to be his legacy. He seemed like a nice man from the piece I saw on him after his accident.
