    He did fight some impressive competition pre-title.But Weaver coldcocked him good, which probably did a number on him psychologically.

    Page may have accomplished a slight bit more than Tate as far as total career.

    Tate's downfall was the kayo loss to Weaver.Page's probably began as soon as his father died, a lot of the mess with Don King started him downward.

    Tate's defining moment, the win over Coetzee, as was Page's, though Marty Monroe was arguably his best showing as a professional.

    Page had more potential than Tate or anybody from that time period.

    Greg Page had "Super" talent but became a victim of the 80s heavyweight lack of discipline era.
