    Good points. And they don't look very yoked.

    No, and did you see that one part where Gibbons missed a jab and totally overextended himself? You never ever and I mean ever over extend yourself. Watch a Canelo fight, treat yourself.

    Another great point.

    Maybe the mods should delete the thread.

    I mean it would assist in preventing the youngsters from being lead astray, thinking this is actually a good way to box.

    Correct again. It might distract them from doing preacher curls and tanning.

    Or even worse, wearing thongs in the ring.

    I'd go with Tunney. Gibbons style seems to be built around a very much reactions based defense. Tunney is the bigger man, has the better jab, better right hand and better use of distance.
