Page at his very best would be favored to win a decision but if he came in uninspired he'd lose. In the real world Tua's hardly some incredible monster devouring all before him.
If Page is on his A game, and Tua is on his A game, then Page wins every time. Obviously neither variable can be guaranteed.
An in form Page out points Tua he has the movement and a good enough chin to get it done. Tua has lost multiple rounds to lesser boxers than a prime Page. My only issue is Page does hold his hands very low and Tua has dangerous power at any point in the fight early or late to turn a fight around. And whilst Page did take a fairly good punch in his prime would it be enough to weather the storm if Tua got him in trouble ? But I'll stick with Page by decision.
You say Page at his very best. But what about Tua at his very best. Tua suffered from the same syndrome as Page. But Tua at his best was a scary monster.
I don't think Tua was some scary monster at his best, personally. Overrated in here if anything. Against fighters that suit him stylistically he is extremely dangerous, absolutely.
David tua of 96/97 v Greg page 227 lbs of 81/82 ..? I think David tua catches page with his hands down around rd 5 ( page always fought with his hands by his side ) and tua at 226 lbs at that time would get pretty close to a 81/82 version Of Greg page and stop him by rd 7 !! David stops Greg page in rd 7 behind on 1 scorecard and put page away
Two deadweight never-weres who continue to get attention…for some reason. Why discuss legends below Heavyweight when we can talk about Page vs Tua or Grant against Carnera, I suppose.
