    For the posters who've seen the available footage, studied the records, etc. Who would you take?

    And a question to those who are up to it...what technical aspects place one over the other?

    Personally, I feel that both are very close...

    Bleuch. It's going to the cards, that much should be obvious. I'll pick Yarosz on a superior body attack and what I suspect would be a superior jab.

    Gibbons remains abit of an undecided to me though his record speaks volumns. Coming from Minnesota as the Gibbon's brothers and later the Flanagens whom Del modeled his style after, they are big boxing icons here. Still Mike, as superior a holder of skills he was, hints of not having everything. With McGrain I give the edge to Yarosz for the body attack and a stronger jab also.

    Can't recall seeing Mike Gibbons on film.

    Bit and pieces are out there...Highlights of McFarland, brief sparring with brother Tommy, and about 45 minutes against O'Dowd.
    There may be even less of Yarosz available....and that is the Dundee fight.
    That's why is is so hard to make a call...but still fun anyway.
