Both extremely scientific and tough fighters, guys who could be calm amidst a tornado, could calculate and break down an opponent. Both could also brawl when necessary. 15 rounds. How do you see this one?
Might have to go with Gibbons on conditioning alone. 2 highly skilled men bit Eddies conditioning is a concern for me.
Gibbons basically had everything at light heavyweight. He could outbox anybody around, he could outslug anybody around, and you couldn’t hurt him with an axe! He did perhaps have a tendency to bring the wrong fight plan to the party. Even so, he would have been too much for Eddie.
Gibbons was fantastic, no doubt. Didn't you write that you had read an auto-bio of him? Was it that article he wrote or a longer piece? There needs to be a definitive work done on him.
Totally agree...i never heard of a book about him but i printed out the article ur talking about. Ill grab it wen i get home and tell u wat its called
Eddie was a what might have been for me he had the tools and talent but not the dedication.Tommy was 100% a pro.Gibbons by decision.An interesting matchup:good
I'm picking Gibbons also, but it would be a really cool, somewhat mirror image, fight. Seriously, someone needs to do a definitive work on the Bros. Gibbons. Moyle? Adam? Dare I even suggest Klomp?
