    Greg Page probably had the natural talent to beat most that beat him, but didnt have the dedication to hone his physical assets, i suppose it comes down to mental laziness - which filters through to this lack of Physical preparedness, you need that fir in the belly, and ambition, when thats lacking and all you have to trade on is aname from the past, under these circumstances its proved time and time again, its better to Quit than become a Tank Town Trailhorse. Where are the Caring Corner, Promoters, Commissions ?

    To eke out a decision is not lazy. It is cunning and an art in itself. Pedroza is a stand out, and as mentioned Chris Eubank was more than good at sneaking title defences.

    IN Page's case, it was also a situation where his father forced him into boxing, so subconsciously he was affected.
