Trivia: Brothers who fought at least 3 HOFers

[Bundana]

How many pairs of brothers can you guys think of - where both met (not necessarily beat) at least 3 members of the IBHOF?

[QueensburyRules]

- - Gibbons bros likely top. Spinks likely meet the criteria.

Maybe the Ks after their era gets sorted by IBHOF 20 yrs from now...

Yeah, for a question like this, the Gibbons should probably be the first pair, that pops up in people's minds.

Also, the Spinks brothers, of course.

Brothers Baer are out as Buddy doesn't make the cut with only Louis on his resume.

Going to check out the Brothers Zivic next see if big brother Jack can meet the criteria. Pretty certain Fritzie does.

I haven’t checked, but heres a few North American brothers that might fit the bill. North Americans are far more likely to be in the ibhof than others.

Quarry brothers

Ruelas

Canizales

Hagler (and Sims) (half brothers only I know)

No, sorry... none of those pairs fits the bill.

It looks like my Brothers Zivic comes up one short.

Big brother Jack tangled with Lew Tendler and Young Corbett III but can't find a third.

Can I get a 1/2 point for Ruby Goldstein. He fought Jack Zivic and is in the HOF (as a referee?)


P.S. Younger brother Fritzie was obviously a no brainer but Jack let me down.

Actually, you hit jackpot big-time with the Zivics!

In addition to Tendler and Corbett III, Jack also fought Jackie Fields - so that's 3½ (if we count Goldstein, lol).

But that's not all... another brother, Eddie, met no less than 4 HOFers: Armstrong, Canzoneri, Wesley Ramey, and Freddie Miller.

So we have here not just 2, but 3 brothers, who all met at least 3 HOFers... and unless I'm very much mistaken, I don't believe there's another group of brothers, who can claim that!

Damn I missed Jackie Fields and I was trying

Didn't know there was a third brother; that's some deep knowledge you got.

There was actually a 4th brother, Pete... but he met only one HOFer, Panama Al Brown. Still, 4 brothers that all fought HOFers... a rather special family!
