    I only started watching boxing in 1994, so I dont know about whether or not their were any pairs of brothers that were both great years before that. The two that are obvious to me know are the Klitschkos and the Marquez brothers. Who do you feel has had the better combined career between these two sets and why. Also who else should make the list. I know that Anthony and Lamont Peterson are out there, but have yet to really hit the limelight and hit the level of Jaun and Rafael. Thoughts?
    There were a very good pair, Tommy and Mike Gibbons, Ray and Floyd Patterson, Randolph and **** Turpin, Brian London and a brother (forgot name) Jim Jeffries and brother ( I thnk name Mike) Ricky and Ray Hatton, Manny and Bobby Pacquiao, also Michael and Tokunbo Olajide, but the Klitschkos are far more successful.

    And there are several families who had 3 or more boxers.

      There were also Mike and "Twin" Sullivan, well known middleweights.

        Considering neither Klit has beaten a really good fighter then they can both be discounted from this thread.

              And I bloody well forgot all about the obvious Spinks brothers. How the blazes did I do that! Also a Canadian family of 4 -I think- brothers the eldest of whom was a world champ, who spent time in Jail for sexual assault on young relatives (daughters??) sickening.
              I hope he's still there.
