    Are there any father/son tandem in boxing's ATG list???

    Just curious cause i think the Klits bros will be there. I know their relation are full blood siblings and that gene pool of theirs must be special. Thoughts...

    Carmen Basilio's nephew won the 147 championship in the 70s I think. The Hall of Fame is in Canastota because Basilio and his nephew were both born there.

      I can't recall off the top of my head.

      But a fun fact I can recall is;

      Jersey Joe Walcott, knocked out ATG Harold Johnson in 3 rounds in 1950, and also beat his father, Phil Johnson, also by KO in 3 rounds a whole 14 years earlier in 1936.

      A feat I believe, is the only time a single fighter has beaten an ATG AND his father.

            I know did you read my post. What im saying is the brothers are already entering boxings top 100 ATG. Their boxer gene as siblings are in fact special. Im just curious if that boxer gene can be the same with father to son???
