@Belburg He was an average fighter with talent. A great fighter rises above pain, adversity, and is self-motivated. That's why Larry Holmes was great. That's why Page was a bum.
@GohModley He was above-average fighter who had bad fights due to his lack of motivation and training.You are right in your comments, however, Page wasn't a bum until after 1985.And even though he hurt himself with his performances,remember, there was a reason Larry Holmes, as great as he was, avoided him.
Thank you for posting this match. This fight was for the WBA heavyweight title. When everybody knew that the true champ was Muhammad Ali, the WBA said it was Ernie Terrell. When everybody knew that the true HW champ was Lennox Lewis, the WBA said it was John Ruiz. And when everybody knew that the true HW champ was Larry Holmes, the WBA said it was a bunch of other dudes, some of whom (Weaver, Witherspoon, Smith) Holmes had already beaten.
Neither of them is as fat as I remember them being!

That's what you end up with a load of greedy sanctioning organisations...a load of second rate fighters as 'world champions'.
