    Lose to Occassio? Depends who's judging. Hey, Occassio was a real good boxer, no shame, but Young won.

    Page would beat Jimmy, if he was in decent shape, nice boxing skills, and good power.

    I'll take a bigger and more offensive minded 1981 Page to out-box the 1976 Young... Young doesn't punch enough to out-point an '81 Page... Plus, Page's jab was superior in 1981 with only Larry Holmes comparing...:deal

    The peak version of jimmy Young would have been too slick for Page, as he was for Ali, Foreman and Norton. Once again..peak Jimmy Young would have beaten Greg Page.

    Much depends on the waist lines and motivation of the fighters. If they were both at their best, I like Young via decsion.

    I remain convinced that Jimmy decisions Greg.

    I could honestly see a trained Page stop Jimmy, but the chances for that are 2%.
