    Right now it's clearly the Klitschko brothers.

    All time my vote goes to Marquez brothers.

    I haven't see enough of any other brother combinations to vote fairly all time though.

      In order:

      Klitschkos
      Gibbons
      Marquez
      Spinks
      Morales
      Cottos
      Hattons
      Dirrells (but they will probably be much higher in a few years)
      Hiltons

          The SPinks brothers beat ALi and Holmes for their HWT titles. For you to put the Klits above them is ridiculous, especially when you consider Mike is one of the greatest LHWT champs ever.

            As brothers the Klits > Spinks, both Wlad and Vitali have achieved plenty, Michael Spinks is greater then both imo but Leon isn't close to either of them and ranking them as a duo Leon drags the Spinks' down quite a lot. That Ali really doesn't mean much at all.

                Leon Spinks won the HWT title when it meant something against one of the 3 or 4 greatest boxers that ever lived. Wlad nor Vitali have accomplished anything close to that.
                Michael SPinks resume is 100 times better than Wlad and Vitali's combined. Both of them beat the best opponent they faced, which is not something Wlad or Vitali has done.

                The spinks brother have accomplished more against much better competition.

                  He beat a past it Ali in a close fight and then was striped of it for not facing Ken Norton, he earned it off and old man when it meant something then didn't bother defending it against the #1 contender, he didn't beat one of the 3 or 4 greatest fighters that lived he beat a shell of one of them. He did nothing with his career afterwards.
                  The Larry Holmes that L. Spinks faced >>>>> the Ali that he faced, he didn't beat the best opponent he fought, also Michael beat Tyson ?, that's news too me.

                    He beat Ali when ALi was HWT champion. STill a better win than anything a Klit has done. I believe ALi beat him and won the title back. He may not have done anything after that we agree.

                    Larry Holmes 1 was Mike SPinks best opponent. I never said he beat Tyson but I don't think Tyson was better than Holmes, even though Tyson Ko'd him when he was shot.

                    Find one win either Klit has that compares in any way to Ali or Holmes. I'm sorry but KO'ing 95% of rotten crappy opponents is not impressive.

                    The basic argument is the Klits have destoyed a great percentage of low quality opponents so they are the best brothers. I'll take the guys who have a lower KO rate but more quality wins.

                      No.

                      I have great respect for the Marquez brothers.
