One wonders how good both of these guys could've been if they'd taken care of themselves. Tubbs was a boxing magician but couldn't kick the lady. And Page just couldn't be motivated to knock off the junk food and train properly. Both gifted boxers, but both wasted their talents.
Styles make fights & this match of two young Muhammad Ali imitators was sure a dog when I saw it LIVE in 1985! Now, looking back, it's simply a showcase of wasted talent on both men's part!
True, Tubbs lacked in punching power and chin but he had very good skills and fast hand, pheraps the fastest of the heavyweight division at the time, Page had more power than Tubbs but less hand speed.
Two of the greatest what if stories in boxing history. They were fighting masters but just couldn't beat their vices.
Despite his weight at Times Tony Tubbs was a Quality Boxer
Tubbs had the talent of a champion but not the mental strength that the truly great ones had.
Well this tubbs would totally destroy this new era boxers joshua wilder etc etc
@@user-dm3gk4lb8q no he wouldn't.
I know. Even despite his drug and other issues some people thought he beat Riddick Bowe when we has way past his best
@@darinkasaboski6829 yes but Bowe was still developing

True,
These 2 should have had a wet T-shirt contest instead of a fight.
