Both Page and Tillis were just short of being in the first division, they were tough fights for up and comers and both had their moments in the sun, for whatever reason and only they could answer they didn't quite measure up when it really counted.
I remember Ali being impressed with Page, a lot of people thought Page was the new Ali since Page come from Louisville Kentucky like Ali. Plus he had the same low hands style. A lot of the 80's Heavyweights were talented, but i think the best of 80's Heavyweight's was Tim Witherspoon at his best he gave Larry Holmes hell. In fact im big Holmes fan and i had Holmes only winning by 1 point but i wouldn't have been disappointed had it gone the other way very razor thin close fight.
