    didnt know how to word the title correctly :)

    there have been brothers of great champions who have had great records {on paper} but disapeared from the sport...like...

    mark holmes, brother of larry....retired with a record of 38-1

    roger leonard, brother of sugar ray 16-1

    billys hearns, brother of tommy...unbeaten 7-0

    Rahman Ali, brother of muhammad 14-3


    anyone else that fits in the 'you may not have heard of this other brother' category ?

    no...not the obvious ones....the ones that most people wont have heard of, and considering a good record may be surprised....you know what i mean i'm sure..

    I don't think a lot of people realize that Ricardo is Jose Luis Castillo's brother.

    Andre Dirrell's twin brother Anthony is 18-0, but has barely fought lately because of health problems and getting arrested.

    Tarvis Simms would have been completely obscure if not for landing that Allan Green fight at the end of his career, and even then people still probably wont remember him five years from now.

    Seems like fame and that name only last for a short time in boxing.
