Tough match-up. I don't know enough about Gibbons to comment on this match-up but I'd like to see some replies.
Based on reputation Mike Gibbons would beat Nino Benvenuti...Mike Gibbons was the smaller and older brother of the great light heavy Tom Gibbons,,,Gibbons was considered after his retirement in 1922, as a top ten alltime middleweight, and the divisions finest pure boxer ..Gibbons had 133fights against the cream of the crop and was considered an uncrowned champion, as Billy Graham was in later years...Gibbons over Nino by dec...
Well since I got old man Arcell saying.. "I dident see Gibbons till after he was past his best but I'd havto pick him over Marvin Hagler, he'd outbox him" So I think that makes this pretty easy no?
