    How would this match play out?

    Also would Gibbons have beaten the Dempsey Tunney fought?

    Yes Gibbons would have beaten the Dempsey that Tunney fought.

    Could he ever have beaten Tunney?

    Hard to say, but Tunney purposefully avoided him for many years!

    Yes, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

    I think the Gibbons that beat Greb might be capable of upsetting Tunney as well
