I was rewatching a Page fight earlier, and realized that his head, body, and foot movement was much like that of Henry Hank.
Not even close. Toney is the guy who has some Henry Hank moves specially the waist movement is very similar to Hank. Bill Miller was Toneys trainer and mentor and he knew Hank them being from the same state and all im sure he was one of the fighters that him and Toney studied when they would watch film of old fighters together.
watch Hank-Tiger round 10, watch Hank's dancing and slight head and body movement. Then watch Page-Tillis round 2. It is brief, but there is a moment in that round where Page displays the same kind of movement. I've noticed it in some of Page's other fights, but never made the connection before.
IMO Page will All Page was about is being a poor Ali imitation never cared for him. He was tough I'll give him that but no where near as slick as Hank.
Now that you mention it ... Page reminds me of a generation of heavyweights of his time that couldn’t hold a belt for more than a minute and felt training was optional but all-you-can-eat buffets were mandatory.
I still think Page looks like Hank. When's the last time u guys even watched Page or Hank? I've watched Hank once last week, and I've been watching Page quite a lot these days.
Honestly, I do see it. Duh, Toney is the one most reminiscent of him, but Page had plenty of similarities as well. He certainly fights more like Hank and Walcott than he does Ali. I gotta rewatch more 80's heavyweights, they used to be my bread and butter... The Page - Tillis match was certainly an exciting one.
