    Which Famous Boxers actually had brothers/relatives who were also fighters? Who were famous themselves or not.

    Joey LaMotta had some fights, so did Clay's brother right? Fritzie Zivic had four brothers, all of whom were fighters. Two, I think Jack and Pete went to the 1930 Olympics and one, can't think of which, brought home a gold medal.

    Just remembered Billy Conn's brother Jackie had some pro goes; was on the card the night of one of Billy's fight with Joe Louis.

    By the way la-califa... please don't ever change your avatar... I like it!

    I believe Clay's brother was in the main preliminary fight on the Fight of the Century Card?

    Mike and Tommy Gibbons.

    Two brothers, both hall of famers, and pound for pound greats.

    I win.

    Not according to Jack Johnson. :lol:


    I bet he regrets he didn't take the fight earlier for a long time. Probably the rest of his life.

    Steve McCrory, he lost to Jeff Fenech in a world title shot. There was great article on him ESBs front page a year or so ago IIRC.
