    The Best Boxing Brothers

    Myself, I have to go with the Gibbons brothers off the top of my head, because they both fought at the high level.

    Yea, they both have Class A resumes. But who else?

    When you talk about pure achievement, without evaluating skill, you have to include Leon and Michael.

    Are they the only brothers to ever hold the HW title or do we accept both the Ks as legit HW Champions.

          George, Jimmy, and Billy Gardner out of Lisdoonvarna, Ireland.

          I can't speak to the two younger brothers but George has a pretty good resume. Lost to more than a few recognizable names; looks to have been a good journeyman.

            I forgot about the Spinks bros. They are pretty high all right, by buggery.

              - - Why ain't the Ks legit?.

              Leon was only Neon and Mike an accidental slip in the time warp.

              Ks were emasculators.

                  I'm asking, not challenging. I no longer can tell a champion from a claimant.
