just watched the Rafael Marquez and Mark too sharp Johnson fights.
Can someone shed some knowledge - Question:
At end of their first fight johnson is declared the winner. Box rec shows Rafael as the winner and Johnson the loser. On their second fight they talk about Rafael winning the first fight. WTF?? what happened? they correct some mistake and later declared Rafa the true winner of the first fight???
The answer to this question is between the Marquez' and Klitschko's. Both Marquez' are future Hall of Famers, both Klitschko's if they aren't are pretty close to it.
Only Michael Spinks is a Hall of Famer in that brother combination, so I wouldn't say them.
That said, the Marquez brothers are the best boxing brothers of all time.Comment

They made a mistake on the tallying of the cards, they corrected it afterward. Lampley said how they gave them the info at the beginning of the 2nd fight.

Both Marquez brothers have been ranked top 15 by The Ring since 2003 and are future Hall of Famers, both Spinks' are not and will never be. The Klitschko's are probably Hall of Famers too, Leon hasn't ever gotten consideration.
The question is best boxing brothers of all time, not family, and for you to say it's not even close shows that you need to review the fighters in question. The Marquez' and Klitschko's are close even if you add Cory to the mix.Comment

I would have to go with the Marquez brothers. Not only because they are actually the best brother combination but also because they married sisters. Freaky!
As MM mentioned, the Canizales' were also brilliant. Especially Orlando but Gaby was pretty damn good too.
Still, for both being great I think you would have to go with the Marquez bro's. Both multiple weight, long time champs, both P4P rated champs, both with great resumes and both future HOFers. Both fought the best their divisions had to offer and both are two of the best champs of their era.Comment
