    Decent boxer, once KO'ed Tyson in sparring apparently.

    Had a breif run as HW champ in the mid 80's.

    RIP.

    A decent operator, too.
    Such a shame he fought on way too long, like so many others before and since.
    RIP

    Good reminder... since we all like to trash talk about too many guys always fighting like bitches & pussies etc.

    We sometimes forget you can get seriously F---ed Up, and even killed in this sport if youre not careful!

    Do I want to see Wlad Bitchko actually stand toe to toe and trade bombs every fight? Absolutley!

    But, do I want to see him go out like Greg Page because of it?... No thanks.

    Boxers need a Union so after boxing they have health care ect.

    Sad news. I remember when Page was coming up and they were touting him as the "next Ali." He may have fallen well short of that lofty goal, but who could measure up? He made his mark on the game nonetheless.

    Yeah, a real tradgedy. I understand the fight that he got hurt in wasn't really so much from the punches as just he had a stroke or something from being out of shape.

    Real shame. RIP.
