Boxing dynasties with more than 2 elite fighters

amazingly enough, old Floyd actually held a #5 ring mag rating at the year end ratings for 1977. The only thing I can put together on any sense in that rating is an 8-round win over the veteran Miguel Barrett, who had beaten the top 10 rated Fausto Rodriguez. But that win was 6 months earlier. So that #5 rating for Floyd was a stretch and very odd.

 

But the OP said “more than 2”.

 

That was a product of the Ring Ratings scandal of 1977.

 

Perhaps. But I don't recall that scandal bleeding into the world rankings. The scandal was zeroed in on the ABC U.S. championships and the U.S. ratings. It's not to say it couldn't happen, but I don't know if Mayweather senior had any Don King-like backing that might be trying to hoist his ranking. But it certainly was an eyebrow raising ranking that made no sense.

 

Ah, Mr ‘Shades of Ali’ himself!

 

If Hughie Fury is elite, then I nominate Marty and Eric Jakubowski as another family dynasty.

 

Get in line behind the Summerhays boys from Canada!

 

The Kameda family. The father fought for the world title and his three sons became world champions.

 

This is a bit of a stretch, but the Toweel family of South Africa. Vic was world champion, Willie challenged for the bantamweight title and amazingly was a top lightweight contender as well. And Alan, who did box as a pro, but made his name as a big time South African promoter. Like I said, a slight stretch on the actual rules.

 

Hughie Fury is good but he probably can't be classed as elite.

 

Sort of a side note, but how many brother/sister boxer families do we have? Daniel Dubois's sister, Caroline, is currently a unified world champ.
