    Greg Page was well & truly shot when he dropped Mike Tyson in sparring. Iron Mike was past it as well. Tyson was at his best when he was sparring with Oliver McCall. McCall was one of the few who could handle Iron Mike in sparring when he was at his peak.

    Page was on coke, fast food, and poor training habits. Would have been interesting to see him with a better trainer as well. The talent was certainly there. The dedication wasn’t.

    Chin wasn’t his problem. His own demons drugs and alcohol self doubt bad management and needed a different trainer.
