The Tszyu's are The Best Boxing Family Ever

The Spinks and Mayweathers may have a bone to pick with this statement you made.

The Klit brothers, Smith bros, Spinks family, Mayweather family, galaxy brothers the Inoue brothers, GaryRussel jr family and even Kameda brothers have done much more in the sport.

 

Klitschko bros will probably never be surpassed. Two brothers being together undisputed for over a decade in the premier division of the sport. One a top 10 ATG, the other a top 10 H2H. No other boxing family comes close, really.

 

Disagree, the Spinks bros alone surpass the Klit bros on resume and accomplishments then there's Cory Spinks who was a two division champion and undisputed/lineal WW champion in his own right. Both Spinks brothers were Olympics Gold medalists, both lineal HW champions and Michael Spinks is a top 5 ATG LHW. All 3 members of the Spinks family have been lineal champ at least once in their boxing career with Michael being lineal at LHW and HW.

 

You do mean best Aussie boxing family ever, don't you? No way you mean world.

 

Roger was Floyd's uncle.

 

"family" Kostya left him when he was young and has seen him twice since. he said they talk on whatsapp but not often.

 

As for father & son (or daughter) champions, you've got:

• Floyd Patterson & Tracy Harris Patterson
• Jinx & Cory Spinks
• JCC Superstar and his idiot ceiling fan fighting druggie disappointment Julio Jr., who did briefly hold the WBC middleweight title
• Wilfredo Vázquez Sr. & Jr.
• Eubank Sr. & Jr.
• Guty Espadas Sr. & Jr.
• Muhammad and Laila Ali
• Joe & Jacqui Frazier

...you could possibly add Nigel & Connor Benn soon. Had it not been for the WWII draft, Lenny Mancini and his son Ray would have qualified.

I actually expected it to be a longer list. I might be missing a couple of parent-child tandems, but those are the notable ones.

Floyd Sr. was never a titlist, as he wasn't half as good as his brother (as competitor nor coach), or a tenth as good as his son.

 

Smith brothers? They're all bums and B- world champs at best.

 

The Chavez family are still better than the Tszyu's. Chavez Jr up until he met Martinez was a more accomplished fighter than Tim and Chavez Sr is without a doubt greater than Kosta. There's Laila Ali and Muhammed Ali then there's still Leon Spinks and Cory Spinks.

 

You're right, looking back at it now the Smith bros as a whole haven't really done much compared to Kosta.

 

There is surprisingly little competition for the Tszyus but they are not number one yet. Tim just hasn't done enough. The JCC clan is certainly ahead of them. Senior is way ahead of Kostya and the troubled junior has arguably had a better career than Tim has had to this point. I would also put Floyd and adopted son Tracy Harris Patterson ahead of the Kostya Klan. Those other Floyds are well above the Tim and Kostya. Lastly, you may scoff but The Greatest is so far above Kostya that I would say that Muhammad and Laila Ali have achieved more.

All of this being said, the Tszyus are definitely on the rise.

 

They're all overachievers and its a safe bet Timmy leaves them in the dust by the time its all over with.
