    Yeah but JMM is still the best boxer of all the names mentioned, and his brother Rafa was a top level fighter throughout his career.

          I agree that the Marquez brothers are the best of the given pairs and that Michael Spinks is the best fighter.

            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

              he fought in one of the greatest LHW eras ever and was the best in it, and then went on to beat one of the best HWs of all time.

              he is most definitely better than JMM, who is a little bit overrated after the Pacquiao fights.
              Without the Pacquiao fights, I might have to say Rafa was the better brother.

                  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????

                    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.
