    whats your thoughts on these recently departed brothers

    both were tough gritty fighters. With perhaps Chris being the better fighter with better gifts but Kevin being more technically gifted.

    I just watched Finnegan vs Minter 2 and that is a great fight and he really hurt Minter twice

    I think Kevin was better too. I'd love to see his fight with Hagler. Ring called him the "gamest gladiator we'd seen in years" and had it even on the cards going after 8, when it was stopped on cuts. His exhibition vs Sibbo is well worth a viewing- a real master vs pupil fight.
