Marquez brothers: Are they the greatest boxing brothers in history?

Marquez brothers are the best in terms of two brothers being that talented at the same time. Klitchkos are very good as well but not as well rounded and they usually enjoy a nice size advantage on their opponents and havent fought the same level of competition but that isnt their fault because they fight what is available.


There is a wide gap between leon and michael spinks in terms of talent. Other than a great amateur career and going 1-1 with Ali when parkinsons was begining, leon spink's pro career wasnt that great. A lot of guys have a brother that fought. Pac, Morales, Hatton, ect but usually one is way better than the other. JMM are probably the only ones that were both top ten p4p for a good while.

 

it has to be the Klitschko brothers

 

Mike & Tommy Gibbons.

 

spinks should be placed with the norris brothers. leon turned out to be a frontrunner.

 

What about the Galaxy Twins?

 

Entertainment wise they are but you cant hate on the Kbros dominance in the heavyweight division

Its close between them and the Klitschkos

 

In no order, here's a list of notable boxing brothers. Pick your poison:

Max and Buddy Baer
Michael and Leon Spinks
Mike and Tommy Gibbons
Juan Manuel and Rafael Marquez
Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko
Khaokor and Khaosai Galaxy
Matt and Dave Hilton
Joe and Vince Dundee
Gabriel and Rafael Ruelas
Gerry and Dodie Boy Penalosa
Chris and Kevin Finnegan
Tony, Paulie, and Mike Ayala
Tony and Frankie Baltazar
Richie and Alberto Sandoval
Gaby and Orlando Canizales
Donald and Bruce Curry
Gene and Don Fullmer
Marvin Hagler and Robbie Sims (half-brothers)
Danny and Ernie Lopez
Terry and Orlin Norris
Jerry and Mike Quarry
Jack and Mike Sullivan
Crisanto and Ernesto Espana

 

definitly Marquez brothers but no one mentioned them Morales bros legendary Erik an an i believe diego was belt holder

 

no love for the hattons?

 

Yup! Numero 1.

 

Neither Marquez brother got destroyed in 91 seconds in their biggest fight only to cower and retire after.

 

Spinks was past his prime, above his best weight and suffering from chronic knee troubles by that time. No Lt. Heavyweight in the history of the sport is moving up and faring well against a peak Tyson, especially at that stage of their careers.

I disagree that the Spinks brothers are the best tandem because Leon absolutely pales in comparison to his all time great brother. But Michael was better than either Rafael or Juan Manuel in his prime.
