Don't know much about either, but I'm curious. Which brother accomplished more? Who had more power? Which were both of their weaknesses?
Gabriel was the much better fighter. Rafael had better power, but had poor balance, bad defense, and his chin wasn't as good. Gabe was very slick, much sounder fundamentally, and had better defense.
Yeah, Refael looked pretty bad against Hoya, in all honesty. Didn't seem to know what to do against a world class fighter.
Gabe had a fair career anyway, but imagine if he had avoided that sickening elbow injury against Franklin... Rafael always cracks me up when watching the first Gutierrez fight. Gabe was more talented and had the better career IMO.
That was the sickest thing that i ever seen. Franklin purposely did it and no one did anything about it.
Harsh... I would give Franklin the benefit of the doubt and say he did not mean to do all that damage to it.
