    great thread , i want to add :
    Roccigiani : Ralf , Graciano
    Tiozzo : Fabrice , Christoph , Frank
    Foster : Bob , Mac
    Dirrell : Andre , Anthony


    Mayweather : Floyd , Jeff , Roger
    i think that also :
    Hearns , Qawi , Eubanks , Collins
    had boxing brothers , at least one of Collins/Eubanks

    correct me if i'm wrong , about qawi i'm sure , he was mentioned before ,
    Leonard's brother was also mentioned


    remark : Hagler and sims were merely HALF brothers.

    Good mention. :good

    Del Flannagan won 105 pro fights and beat several former champs and contenders but never got a world title shot. Such were the times and the competitiveness of the game back then.

    I think Glen got a shot at the featherweight crown.

    There's was another brother, Jerry, but he didn't have many pro fights and was never a contender.

    Some well-known heavyweights with lesser-known boxing brothers :

    Tim and Anthony WITHERSPOON
    Larry and Mark HOLMES


    Joe Frazier had at least two sons who boxed professionally :
    Marvis Frazier and Joe Frazier Jr. (also went by the name "Hector Frazier")

    I think there were other boxing Fraziers too.
