    We are 2 brothers, who never won a world title...
    but between us we fought more men from BoxRec's list of champions, than any other pair of non-champion brothers.

    Who are we?

    The Hogue twins met just 2 world champs (Moore, Apostoli) - quite a bit below the "winning" total.

    Jerry and Mike Quarry? I know Mike didnt make much of an addition but Jerry did fight a lot of world champs.

    Jerry fought 5 champs, and Mike an additional 2, for a total of 7 - which isn't enough for 1st place in this category.

    I came up with a grand total of 10 for Don and Jay Fullmer, 10 for Armando and Javier Muniz and 11 for Eddie and Pete Zivic. Of course this also consists of some NY state recognised champs, so I don't know if some count.

    Viruet's fought 8 world champs, but that's obviously not enough.

    They are all good, as they are all on BoxRec's list of world champions.

    But 11 is not enough.
