    None whatsoever unless we're talking about an old Holyfield.

    Greg Page was a talented boxer who had potential. But he lacked the focus, discipline and long range stamina needed to beat Evander Holyfield.

    No, I don't think so. Holyfield gets a decision or a late ko.

    Greg Page does not have anything to make Evander Holyfield respect him, TKO 7 win for a stronger Holyfield, who walks Greg down.

    Page at his best has a chance to win a decision, but he was never in Holyfield shape, TBH. Holyfield by UD.

    This. Page was another one of those once promising alphabet champions who lost too many fights they shouldn't have.

    What's interesting about this fight is that Page has some of the ingredients that would make it a tough fight for Evander. However the things he lacks would get him beat down stretch

    He has a chance but I think his leisurely pace would suffer against the, in your face style of Evander ,who would be too pro-active for Mr Page.imo

    This would be about it. Too much pressure and energy.

    Page was like what Bowe became...only, he was like that most of his career. Too many slug-like performances from a man who had shown glimpses of dazzling ring generalship, hand and foot speed, and a seriously fine right hand hand.

    Page just rarely seemed to want it, whereas Holy from the time he turned heavy to the second Tyson fight (with exceptions due to outside complications) ALWAYS seemed to REALLY want it. Page gets overwhelmed and stopped in five, at the most.
