    The worst we will never know because they will have vanished from the annals of boxing history without a trace.

    Other mentions that may have been missed:

    Smith Brothers
    Chudinovs
    Judahs
    Kamedas

    Awww fuckit, I'm too lazy to be taxing my braincells of a Sunday morning, look for yourselves...

    No actually when I mean worst it would be a case of one brother being good and the other brother being bad. Like for example Manny Pacquiao and Bobby Pacquiao

    Whereas if you compare them to the Klitschko's, they are poor because the Klitschko's are both good.

      Ah right, yeah I misunderstood the question then. You could phrase it as the widest gap in ability between siblings who turned pro then I suppose...

      Mmmm. Still I guess there's a good few really unsuccessful bros of stars we just ain't heard about, the Judah Bros spring to mind - Daniel and Joseph. Joseph aka Chris Crosby had a brief 9 fight run as a pro and went 6 - 3(1). Daniel looked fairly promising against journeyman and club fighters but his limitations became glaringly apparent when he stepped up a bit. He's still fighting but his record now stands at 24(11) - 11(5).

        That's the one thanks... yeah I think he might be the best out of the four of them.

          I'm not sure where I would put the Peterson brothers. They are somewhere in the middle. Not really good, but not bad either. Lamont and Anthony Peterson.



          One of the worst brother combos I also have is Miguel Cotto and Jose Cotto

          And Canelo Alvarez and all of his brothers

            Into the best list Juan Manuel Marquez and Rafael Marquez.

            Canelo Alvarez and Inocente Alvarez, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Omar Chavez, can be considered for the worst list.

              Absolutely, those are some good choices for best and worst boxing brother combos.

                The Fullmer Brothers, Gene (55-6 Middleweight World Champ) , Don (54-20) contender, and Jay (20-5) were all pro boxers.
                This would be the wrong family to get on the bad side of.
                Gene was a tough man to deal with and has huge wins on his record.

                    Now that's going way back. I definitely remember Gene Fullmer seeing film of him during the Sugar Ray Robinson era. I wasn't aware of his brothers. That's good to know about such a historical fighter. Thanks for sharing.

                      I nominate the donaires as some of the worst!
