Name the best and worst boxing brothers combination in boxing history

Juan Manuel and Rafa Marquez.

I nominate the donaires as some of the worst! Ah yes, Nonito and Glenn Donaire Forgot about Glenn, good stuff

......"during the Sugar Ray Robinson era". Not at the beginning of Sugars career but Gene fought Sugar in 1957 when Sugar was still very very good and beat him for the 160lb title. Sugarman came back that same year to stop Gene to get his title back. He then drew with Sugar in 1960 and won a decision in 1961. Very impressive! Gene lost the title to Dick Tiger in 1962 then drew with him and again lost by RTD after the 7th. This guy was always in shape and was only stopped twice in 64 bouts. Once by Sugar in 5 and his last bout by his corner who argued with him to call it a day in the third bout with Tiger. Ray

I'm curious, who is this new poster? Supposedly signed up in 2010 but haso nly 600 posts but all of a sudden got real busy today lol Just curious. As for the best: clearly Wlad and Vitalia. The Spinks will be up there. Not sure who else qualifies. Worst? That's a toughy. I can't think of many boxing brothers and ithere are any that were that bad, then no one would hear of them. I can however think of superior brother and rubbish sibling, i.e. the Cottos or the Alvarez's.

I nominate the donaires as some of the worst!

The Fullmer Brothers, Gene (55-6 Middleweight World Champ) , Don (54-20) contender, and Jay (20-5) were all pro boxers. This would be the wrong family to get on the bad side of. Gene was a tough man to deal with and has huge wins on his record. Ray Now that's going way back. I definitely remember Gene Fullmer seeing film of him during the Sugar Ray Robinson era. I wasn't aware of his brothers. That's good to know about such a historical fighter. Thanks for sharing.

Into the best list Juan Manuel Marquez and Rafael Marquez. Canelo Alvarez and Inocente Alvarez, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Omar Chavez, can be considered for the worst list. Absolutely, those are some good choices for best and worst boxing brother combos.

Ah right, yeah I misunderstood the question then. You could phrase it as the widest gap in ability between siblings who turned pro then I suppose... Mmmm. Still I guess there's a good few really unsuccessful bros of stars we just ain't heard about, the Judah Bros spring to mind - Daniel and Joseph. Joseph aka Chris Crosby had a brief 9 fight run as a pro and went 6 - 3(1). Daniel looked fairly promising against journeyman and club fighters but his limitations became glaringly apparent when he stepped up a bit. He's still fighting but his record now stands at 24(11) - 11(5). I'm not sure where I would put the Peterson brothers. They are somewhere in the middle. Not really good, but not bad either. Lamont and Anthony Peterson. One of the worst brother combos I also have is Miguel Cotto and Jose Cotto And Canelo Alvarez and all of his brothers

Callum 'Mundo' - a lot of folk think he may have the highest ceiling of the four. Hopefully we get to find out before too long. That's the one thanks... yeah I think he might be the best out of the four of them.

No actually when I mean worst it would be a case of one brother being good and the other brother being bad. Like for example Manny Pacquiao and Bobby Pacquiao Whereas if you compare them to the Klitschko's, they are poor because the Klitschko's are both good.

Best combination has to be the Klitschkos The worst we will never know because they will have vanished from the annals of boxing history without a trace. Other mentions that may have been missed: Smith Brothers Chudinovs Judahs Kamedas Awww fuckit, I'm too lazy to be taxing my braincells of a Sunday morning, look for yourselves... :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_boxing_families No actually when I mean worst it would be a case of one brother being good and the other brother being bad.

Here's another example: The Marquez brothers, Juan Manuel Marquez and Rafael Marquez one of the best brother combos in boxing Ricky Hatton and Matthew Hatton one of the worst brother combos Because both weren't good, only one. Ha, I just inadvertently provoked the song. Lol, "There's only one Ricky Hatton"

Paul, Liam, Stephen smith plus another one whose name I can't remember for the life of me, all from Liverpool. And still active.. Callum 'Mundo' - a lot of folk think he may have the highest ceiling of the four. Hopefully we get to find out before too long.

Oh yeah I forgot about those guys, Travis and Tarvis Simms. They are identical twins also like the Charlo brothers. That's the one thanks, didn't have time to go through boxrec.

Seems to remember another twin in the light-middleweight division in the early 2000s... sims? They use to fight each other outside of the ring. They were both champions as well. Travis/Tarvis.... sims.. need to boxrec it doe Oh yeah I forgot about those guys, Travis and Tarvis Simms. They are identical twins also like the Charlo brothers.
