    You missed the greatest of all time in my opinion, Walcott-Charles 3.
    And what about the patience and craftmanship shown by Schmeling in his first fight with Joe Louis?

    What a shame to see how far Page had diminished by this point. He had such natural ability and potential to be a great but by this time he was losing to ancient Joe Bugner and freakin' 10-9-1 Mark Wills. A fully motivated Page is one of the biggest what-if's in heavyweight boxing history, in my opinion.

    Wills actually KO'd Page twice. In 1986, Wills was 5-5-1 entering their first fight, and won by KO9, and was 10-9-1 entering the 2nd fight and won by KO6. Nobody else had stopped Page up until that point.

    Page was probably one of the biggest wastes of talent from that era. Seems he lost his love for the sport early on, and never could get it back. IIRC, issues with Don King had a lot to do with it...
