For those of you who may have read Gilroy's book or may be informed of Bert's career, Gilroy vs Cerdan.

Who wins and Why?
Equal playing field, and on even poundage...

Joim I have read it and its unfortunate the way bert was dropped in the deep end here, Cerdan was by all accounts something pretty special, i dont know, theres too many ifs and buts and maybe's in this question for me to formulate a decent and honest appraisal of how a rematch would go.

I mean if cerdan had to make middle then he would be weight drained so then I take Gilroy to win, but at the heavier weight it was such a crushing victory its difficult to see how a rematch would have been anything at a cerdan victory, dut to the the fact that Bert was giving away too many physical advantages to Marcel..

interested to hear your thoughts tho. :wink:
