    Would you take 5'9", 175 pound Gibbons over Rahman ? If so based on what ? I happen to think a 1926-28 Sharkey was a terrific 200 pound fighter but don't think I'd pick him over the so much bigger Rahman or Peters H2H ..

    P4P I'm sure Gibbons was a terrific fighter but so was Nunn, McCallum and many of the others I mentioned ..

    Tommy Gibbons isn't 5'9", He's over 6'. Mike Gibbons is that height, but it was Tommy who fought Dempsey.

    Again that completely proves what I said.

    Toney a former MW was able to make Peter look far less than formidable and arguably did enough to win the first time round.

    When we are discussing Peter we should not be discussing his size advantages, it should be a discussion around style and how they matchup.

    It's a strange dynamic this as I sense you're debating against me but everything you're saying is actually proving my point.

    What a clown. Should have figured with all those posts you have way too much free time on your hands.

    Posting on boxing websites is a hobby of mine, it's literally the whole reason I'm on this site.

    Again I feel like you meant that as an insult but actually it's just a statement of fact.
