    Liston and Seldon were the two that looked bad.
    There could be others who went into the tank a bit more convincingly.
    I mean, Sonny and Bruce were pathetic. Although I do have a fondness for Seldon's "jelly legs" act he pulled when he realized the ref was going to let him continue. :yep

    I dug up my '92 tape of "Ruddock-Page" off Showtime.... Page was well trained, just too faded for the peaked Ruddock here.... Ruddock gets the TKO win... Page was game....

    Never seen the fight, but that was what I'd heard - Page looking up for it, Ruddock still trying to learn that 'jab to the body' stuff Patterson was insisting on.

    Page seemed to get a real morale boost when he knocked Tyson down in the...was it the Douglas fight sparring? Seemed to give him a bit of belief and he rededicated himself a bit more. Still only so much you can do with rusty tools, of course.

    Page did indeed trim some fat off for his return to the ring in the early 1990s... He was motivated, but also slowed to age... He fought well against Ruddock for the first "6" rds, but then slowed to where Ruddock could catch and stop his ass.... The fight was good....

    Nileson could create a lot of problems for Holyfield, if he has anything left. Bad style matchup for Holy.
