Greg should've won, but he'd find a way to lose. Larry at this stage of his career against a younger Page, should lose, but he'd find a way to win.

That's the difference between Holmes and Page.

Possibly in like 1997 Page could've whipped Larry because I gotta tell ya Greg looked sharp in the rematch with Tim Witherspoon, but in or anywhere near their prime. Larry is better than Page. Greg doesn't need a faded Holmes, he needs a completely shot Holmes, and 1984 Holmes wasn't shot.

I would've said Greg, but what Gilgamesh said, sums it up perfectly.
