Marquez Bros. The best boxing siblings in history?

Marquez brothers or Klitschkos

 

What about the Curry brothers. Donald The Lone Star Cobra Curry. Bruce Curry also a world champ & the one they claimed was the most naturally talented brother Graylin Curry. Graylin sadly never took boxing seriously even after it was rumoured he was never beaten as an amateur

 

Close thread.

 

I am sure there will be future mayweather champs but for now the only siblings from the family that i can think of are roger and floyd sr. Niether was great.

 

Klitschos by a mile.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nirote Saenkham (born May 15, 1959) in Petchaboon, Thailand, is the twin brother of boxing star Khaosai Galaxy and twice world champion in his own right.

Like his brother, Nirote Saenkham started his career in the sport of kickboxing and later switched to orthodox boxing. After becoming a sports star in his native country, he followed a long-standing Thai custom of adopting an attention-getting pseudonym and thus became known as Kaokor Galaxy.

Galaxy made his professional boxing début in 1985, winning his first seven fights before capturing the Thai Bantamweight (118-pound) title in July 1986. He held that crown until 9 May 1988, when he upset Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vazquez to take the WBA Bantamweight title. With the victory, the Galaxy brothers became the first twins to ever be world champions.

Kaokor lost the title three months later in his first defence against Korean Sung-Kil Moon, when an accidental clash of heads caused a sixth-round stoppage with Galaxy behind on points. He bounced back with five straight wins to earn a rematch with Moon on 9 July 1989. This time, Kaokor Galaxy won easily, taking all 12 rounds on two scorecards and eleven of the twelve on the third. Once again though, Galaxy lost the title in his first defence three months later, this time against Luisito Espinosa. Surprisingly, he retired at that point with a record of 24 wins and just two losses. The defeat to Espinosa was unexpected, but Galaxy was caught with a left hook, and about 20 seconds later just collapsed out of thin air. Retirement followed defeat, no doubt the possibility of severe injury was the uppermost thought in Galaxy's mind.

 

http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/ Khaosai_Galaxy Galaxy defended his WBA title an incredible 19 times over the next seven years, winning 16 by knockout. In the late-1980s, when world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was in his prime and scoring knockouts over everyone, boxing fans tagged Galaxy with the nickname "The Thai Tyson" for his own propensity for knockout wins.

 

Marquez
mayweather

i'd have to agree leon never beat nobody but ali way past his prime. I can't say the klits cause they have dominated a terrible hw division.

 

The Klitschkos have owned the heavyweight division for a decade and at their best have proved untouchable.
The Marquez boys are great boxers, especially JMM. But they have shown flaws being dropped numerous times in their biggest fights. And losses in their biggest fights is what they will mostly be remembered for. Unlike the Klits, who are unquestionably the greatest heavyweights of their time.

 

How was Vitali untouchable against Lewis? What? How many times has Wlad been dropped and you're talking about the Marquez brothers being dropped against the likes of Vazquez and Pacquiao? What kind of logic is this? I don't get where you're coming from.

 

:nono Rafeal is the lesser of the Marquezs and PFP id rate him higher or at least on par with the Klits. JMM is a level above the Klits this isnt hard to decide here.

 

Neither has much of a case for top 10 in their weight classes. Quit exaggerating!

 

Baers are not even close, id rate Norris,Currys,Ruelass better than them and probably a few more Max was very good but not great, Buddy was a decent contender but nothing more.

 

How about the penalosa brothers. Both are two division champs. Dodie is even handicapped with one leg afflicted by polio.

Both Marquez' are two division champs as well.

 

Obviously I was talking about their primes.
Granted "Untouchable" may not have been the right choice of word. Both have still dominated their division for the most part of this decade with unmatched skill (for heavies), hardly losing a round in their primes and will be remembered for doing so.

JMM in his prime was dropped in each of his 3 biggest fights against Pac and Barrera (Mayweather knockdown is neglible) and historically will be remebered mostly for his fights with Pac, which he failed to get a W from. His brother will be talked about for the Vasquez trilogy, also coming in his prime, in which he lost two out of three and was dropped in each fight. They were not even the best Mexican fighters of their generation.
