ignoring file times - but still examining content

Hello.
I would like to transfer files which have changed on another box.

The rsync man page says:
--size-only
 ..This is useful when starting to use rsync after using another mirroring system which may not preserve timestamps exactly..

Which is my situation.

My problem is that the size-only switch (clearly) ignores files with different content, but that have the same size.

I'd like to ignore timestamps but still examine content.

How can I do that?
