Best brother combo in boxing history? IMO it is?

[Shadows]

Yep going off one fight is always the best way to judge a fighter. He dominated in one of the best LHW divisions, beating Lopez, Eddie MM, Qawi, Davis and an old but still very good Larry Holmes just to name a few. His resume is truely excellent.



Yeah I agree Shads, not sure if there combined resumes are actually greater but the I would pick them for being more even, one great great brother and one not so great brother doesn't do it for me.

Well, I think that's what eliminates the Spinks brothers, but of the remaining two, I think the Marquez brothers are better.

Marvin Hagler and Robbie Sims?

I would agree with you if he would of done a little better in the heavyweight division, But I am still waiting for the Names of the elite fighters he fought to compare them with who JMM fought????

Murray Sutherlandx2, Yanqui Lopez, Marvin Johnson, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Mustafa Wassaja, Jerry Celestine, John Davis, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Oscar Rivadeneyara, Eddie Davis, David Sears, Larry Holmes, Jerry Cooney.

Michael Spinks>Juan Manuel Marquez>Wladimir Klitschko>Rafael Marquez>Vitali Klitschko>Leon Spinks in my opinion.

So those light heavyweights in your opinion are better, than say Barrera Pacquiao, even if Marquez did not beat him but were very close fights, Casamayor, Diaz, Katsidis, Medina, Norwood, which I think JMM beat, Chris John, and more elite fighters he will fight and beat!!

Marvin Hagler and Robbie Sims?

good one, I forgot about that.
probably because theyre only half brothers.

I'd say their possibly the best if we are counting half-brothers.

With all the others black irish named, easily.

best combinations I can think of:

Rafa-Juan Manuel Marquez
Wladimir-Vitali Klitschko
Bruce-Donald Curry(very underrated brother combo)
Leon-Michael Spinks
Max-Buddy Baer

Good call with the Curry's.

most of JMM's biggest 'wins' are controversial. thats the big problem with him. people can say that Marquez was 'robbed' against Norwood and John, but in reality they were clsoe fights that could have gone either way.

JMM's best non-controversial win is over Juan Diaz. and lets face it, thats not that great of a win. I dont consider the Juan Diaz that Marquez beat to be better than say Marvin Johnson.
