    The Canadian Hilton Brothers, David Hilton, Matthew Hilton & Alex Hilton. David and Matthew were both world champions I think then the family went tits up, the Dad David Hilton Snr managed them I think not 100% sure on that. Think at least a couple of them went to jail though.

    It has to be the Marquez brothers.

    Both multi-weight world champions and P-4-P stand outs. Rafael only has the one win over Vasquez at SBW, but his BW resume is criminally underrated (after beating Austin for the title he literally dominated that division, no one was even close to challenging him for supremacy).


    Also, a shout out for the Ruelas brothers. I enjoyed watching them back in the day. Gabriel's fight with Gatti was the stuff of boxing legend.

    We have the Klitschko`s, both are clearly the 2 best at their weight class & most fans are split on who is no1.... or else the the Marquez brothers, even tho most agree that Juan is better than Rafael, its less even between them but both combined are higher ranked p4p fighters than the Klitschko`s.

    My answer is probably the Marquez brothers.

    Ps. as good as Michael Spinks was, Leon ****s their chances up, he wasnt that good despite his famous victory (later avenged anyway)

    Marquez brothers for me, personally.

    It's obviously Roberto and Kevin Duran.

    It doesn't even matter that Kevin doesn't fight, Bobby is good enough for two!

    In my opinion, it's clearly the Marquez brothers.

    I think they both deserve to be in the HOF. They were (and probably still are) world-class fighters who performed at the highest level for a decade.

    If you look at what Rafa achieved at 118, combined with his win over Izzy - I think he's an underrated fighter. His development from a right-hand puncher into a complete fighter was beautiful to watch.

    JMM was avoided at 126 but his skills are undeniable. I don't think he's built to fight any higher than 130, yet he was able to move up to Lightweight and ko two of the best fighters in the world at that weight. Diaz was younger, bigger, stronger and faster - yet JMM beat him on pure boxing ability.

    Marquez brothers, by a considerable distance. Both have a bit left in the tank and will add to their already considerable achievements. Rafa will square the ledger with Israel Vazquez and (hopefully) JMM will get his chance to add a 3rd win over Pacquiao :yep

    The K-bros aren't bad by any means, but lack sufficient competition available to prove how good they are. When they retire they will be seen as enigmas in boxing.
