Why he might be annoying:

    Early in his career, he mocked his opponents in the ring.
    He signed contracts with both Butch Lewis and Don King (1982), leading to a year of protracted litigation.
    Due to a timekeeper's error, he knocked out Gerry Coetzee to win the heavyweight title 48 seconds after the round should have been over.
    He lost his title at his first defense.
    He went bankrupt (1998)
    He boxed his final fight for a $1,500 purse.

Why he might not be annoying:

    At fifteen, he sparred with Muhammad Ali, who said he had 'championship quality.'
    He KO'd Mike Tyson in a sparring session (1989).
    He trained heavyweight champ Oliver McCall.
    There were major safety violations at his last fight, including no emergency oxygen or stretcher being available and the ringside doctor had a suspended medical license.
    The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority adopted the 'Greg Page Boxing and Safety Initiative' to bring state regulations in line with federal regulations (2006).
