As most of you will know, Max and Buddy Baer had only one world champ in common: Joe Louis. Leon and Michael Spinks, on the other hand, both met Holmes and Qawi - so they shared 2 world champions. The question now is: Which two brothers can lay claim to the record of having shared the most world champions, recognized by BoxRec?
Yep, they did... so at the moment they are tied with the Spinks brothers in 1st place with 2 champs shared. Anyone want to go higher than that?
There were 5 fighting Zivic brothers - and 4 of them fought a total of 20 different world champions. But, surprisingly, Henry Armstrong is the only champ who fought 2 of the brothers (Fritzie and Eddie).
Abe Attell and Monte Attell both fought these champions... Jimmy Walsh- bantam Frankie Neill Johnny Kilbane
Now that's cheating... so you're disqualified! Just kidding - but neither pair of brothers shared more than 2 world champions.
Doug and Burt... you now lead the pack with 3 champs shared by both the Klits and the Attells. But let's try and go for 4 and 5 champs shared!
