Page hitting harder than Cooney is not true, even if Young said it.

George Chaplin is a good barometer. Dokes beat him 8-2ish, Cooney stopped him early and George soundly beat Greg twice.
Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Not this again. Page won both fights closely, though the second could have been a draw. Jimmy Young was also a good barometer and Greg did better than Michael against him.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑16 Dec 2019, 13:03 George Chaplin is a good barometer.

Page was a waste of talent. But no way was he a powerful puncher.

Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Dokes was the better fighter and had more power. I always wondered how good he could've been if not for his out of ring exploits. Page was always an afterthought to me. He had his moments early on, but proved to be mediocre.

Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Great skills? Hell no. He had good hand speed and a good chin. Power probably better than his skills.
Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Dokes had more talent than Page but blew it away.
I don't give much fodder to what fighters say about other fighters, that's more of a popularity contest.

Greg page at his best was about Muhammad Ali level in 1978..
Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Just getting back on topic. So Spinks is sufferring from prostate cancer. Reports are now saying his health is steadily improving.
Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Dokes was more serious about the game, but Page had more talent and power. Dokes was criticized early on for his punching ability. Cooney and Page were the Steve Stipanovich and Ralph Sampson of wasted talent. Dokes was the Sam Bowie of wasted talent.
Re: Leon spinks is very unwell
Dokes was the one with average power. And thought he was better than what he was.

He looked superb in Sun City vs Coetzee I thought.
