    When their respective careers are over, I do believe that they will be remembered as the best boxing brothers in history. They still have some time to add on to their resumes.

    Marquez Brothers, then Spinks, then Klits...

    Klits have the benefit of a not too deep division in their era. Not their fault, but they've hit speedbumps along the way.

    The Spinks acheived success in the amateur and professional ranks. Sure, You can find flaws in their respective careers, but gold medals and heavyweight titles in that era are hard to discount.

    Leon Spinks was a GREAT amateur

    When Vitali Klitschko wins the WBC Title again, they will be the best in boxing history. Don King is doing all he can to stop them, but in spite of Don King they will be successful.

    how abut the penalosa brothers. Gerry penalosa has a brother, Dodie Boy,who despite physical limitation (polio) became a world champon (ibf flyweight). They should also be considered.

    But skillwise, the Marquez are head aove the others.

    Fair enough....

    I think I was just shocked by seeing people voted the Klits over them that something deep inside of me just snapped.....:twisted:

    Objectively, counting both fighters careers together you could make an arguement that it goes to Juan and Raph. But slightly...and as Marnof said...they still have time to make it greater.

    I admit my fault......BUT, ya gotta shake your head that Wlad and Vitali actually got votes.

    :huh

    AND ARE BEATING THE SPINKS BROTHERS???!?!???!????

    :lol:

    yeah, it bugged me too. Thats why I asked that someone that voted for them actually step up and post their opinion on the subject. I knew it was going to happen but sadly I forgot to make the poll a public one.

    I do agree that both brothers must accomplish more. I honestly feel that they will. They're both damn good fighters.

    God damn it, I voted for the Marquez brothers by mistake. Spinks brothers win this for sure, compare the accomplishments and you'll get the answer easily.

    the penalosa brothers were good fighters. i even think that the younger is the best technical filipino fighter ever. but they are nowhere near the three brothers mentioned.

    the marquez brothers are both in the top 10 p4p. that's something the penalosa's couldn't even dream of becoming

    What about Khaosai and Khaokor Galaxy of Thailand. They are not only brothers. They are twins. I think they are better than the Klitchkos and the Spinks brothers. Maybe they are at par if not better than the Marquez brothers.

    Spinks brothers. Both were Olympic Gold medal winners and undisputed HW champs. Micheal Spinks was arguably the greatest LHW champ ever!!
