    I´m not very educated on either of the Gibbons brothers but they seem to be very important and interesting figures of the late 10s and 20s with strong resumes, so I´d like to get them to know a little better.

    Where they similar in style? Which style did they fight? What where each strength and weaknesses? Which one was seen as the better fighter back then and did this perception change over time?
    Which one finished with the better resume and is seen as the greater fighter?
    How was their relationship which each other? How did they end up after boxing?

    Would be nice to have a discussion about them, I think, other than them beeing footnotes to Dempsey, Tunney and Greb and I hope this thread doesn´t turn into another Dempsey or Greb discussion.

    So, go ahead.
