The mentioning of Floyd should end this thread lol.
Anthony Mundine is another example.

Why not? You said famous, not great fighter. I would say Floyd Sr. is a famous boxer.Originally posted by pistol whip View PostComment

He wasn't famous when he was fighting, he is famous now because of Floyd jr. In fact Sr. Was not even a contender, he was a bum.Originally posted by turkas View PostComment

Of course! How could I forget that one?Originally posted by BattlingNelson View Post
For those that never knew, Tony Mundine was a top middleweight in the great Carlos Monzon era. Had about 100 fights, losing about 10, and fought the best.
His only title fight was against a prime Monzon unfortunately. But he also fought and beat Emile Griffith, Antonio Aguilar, Denny Moyer, while his most notable losses were to Monzon, Bennie Briscoe and Luis Manuel Rodriguez.
Not too bad, and I suppose it could be considered that Anthony Mundine topped his dad. Certainly in the mainstream sense.Comment

He was briefly a contender, even making the top five at 147, but nothing more and not for long.Originally posted by VanillaIce View Post
Then again, being a top five today usually means you're a titlist.Comment

Come on!
How the fck can anyone compare being the son of Floyd Mayweather Sr to being the son of Julio Cesar fucking Chavez, arguably the greatest Mexican fighter of all time!!
Chavez Jr gets hated on here by jealous nobodies who would love to be in his position but there's not a single son of a legend in Boxing(mens) who has achieved what Chavez Jr has achieved.
I'd hazard a guess that his dad must be from his point of view the most proud dad in the world, knowing how extra difficult it must have been for Chavez Jr to be the son of such a legend and still manage to achieve what he has achieved.Comment
