    Gibbons. He beat better opposition and was more skilled in my opinion.

    It is admittedly more a leap of faith to pick Monzon but I could just about do it. Maybe Gibbons narrowly but he wouldn’t win 5/5.

    I would go as far as saying that Gibbons has a top 3 Middleweight resume and is a top tier ATG. He is criminally underrated.

    Gibbons was very great. But he was quite a bit smaller than Carlos and Carlos was also very great.

    Monzons the safer bet and i'd take him for sure.
