    You facts are wrong, and we all know your a Page fan boy and Holmes detractor. Not need to debate those points.

    I do not recall saying Pavlik will be a the next great middle weight. More like the next and exciting middle weight. The guy had issues outside the ring.

    As for Leonard, he is a favorite on mine, but I'm correct by saying he let Hearn's fought his fight, until Dundee talked some sense into him, and also let Duran fight his fight, only making the adjustment in the rematch. Hence he was not a great thinker in the ring.

    You are not very impressive JT, boxed in again.

    Not according to the book Facing Ali, written by Hauser who knows Ali. Read the Holmes part; it says Ali kicked Holmes out of his camp for being too fast! That happened first.

    Once Holmes gained his reputation as a prize fighter, he was nobody's sparring partner. So your fact is after the fact.

    That depends on whether you're referring to Greg Page, the Heavyweight Boxer; or, Greg Page, the Lead Singer of The Wiggles.
