    Well,I have seen a bit of Steele he was a fast ,straight ,hard puncher.
    Gibbons by all accounts was a master boxer, appreciably better than his brother,so I go for Mike.

    I suggest u view Freddie Steele destroying Gus Lesnevich before u choose up these 2.

    ~ time: 1:12 | referee: Charley Randolph ~
    "Steele used up something like half dozen assorted left hooks and right crosses before a towel floated into the ring from the Lesnevich corner. The referee used it to wipe the blood off Lesnevich's face.... Lesnevich drew a tremendous cheer even in defeat." Tacoma News Tribune. The promoter of this show, Joe Waterman, would tell the Tacoma News-Tribune shortly before his death in 1949 that Steele's performance was the finest he ever saw in his over 40 years of boxing.
