    Pernell Whitaker and Julio Cesar Chavez. A case where the father was actually two years young than the son.

    leon spinks was world heavyweight champ, cory was world welterweight champ, i guess they are the best. Add in michael spinks and that would make them boxing's best family.

    Id say Tracy Patterson was at least on par with Cory Spinks, and id rate Floyd much higher than Leon. Although Tracy was Floyds adopted son.

    Ayala family was pretty good although none of the siblings won a title all were good fighters.

    Tony- the best what a wasted talent:patsch
    Mike- Very good gave Danny Lopez all he wanted in Foty.
    Sammy- solid fringe contender at JW
    Paulie- not that Paulie but he was supposedly a good talent. He didnt have as many fights as the others dont know if he had drug problems like all the other brothers.

    :lol: Thats funny i was going to mention them along with the Ayala brothers. Alex never won a world title your thinking of Matthew he was by far the best of the brothers. Davey won a title over the out of shape blown up LW Thobela, but Davey was a better fighter early in his career when he was at Welter. Davey Sr i hear was a tough journeyman back in the days.

    Not in the same league as the ones already mentioned but brian london had 2 world heavyweight title fights whilst his father Jack was a british heavyweight champion and a tough cookie even as an older man as his part in a brawl in the ring after one of brians fights will testify
