Very good fighters with lesser talented brothers?

Damn! Nobody said Michael Spinks and the notorious Leon Spinks or

Zab Judah and his brother Daniel

 

Not exactly on topic but Floyd Snr takes way too much credit imo. He never won a world title himself yet claims he taught his five-weight world champion son everything he knows.

 

ricky hatton and brother matthew

 

Arturo and Joe Gatti were they related?

 

The Curry brothers...Bruce and Donald
The Baer brothers....Max and Buddy
The Hilton brothers..

 

Someone just got banned yesterday for posting gay pics of JMM. So be careful with those JMM is gay topic. Those JMM pics surface every full moon so everyone here have already seen those pics.

 

Who was the better Ruelas brother, Gabby or Rafael?

I'm thinking Rafael, but not 100% sure.

 

As far as this particular thread is concerned, yes, you are correct. That being said, Orlin was a capable fighter in his day. Decent heavyweight and a titlist at cruiserweight. He just wasn't as good as his brother. I don't think the discrepancy is as big as the one between say, a Ricky and Matthew Hatton.

 

David and James Haye

 

Sultan Ibragimov's brother Timor comes to mind. Though i'm not sure one wold consider Sultan a VERY good fighter...

 

They are not related. Sultan is from Russia and Timor is from Uzbekistan. There was a rumor that they were cousins but even that was false.

Here's an old one...James J. Jeffries had a younger brother named Jack. Jack's career mostly involved sparring with James J. in traveling exhibitions. Jack shared much of his elder bro's physical characteristics - big, strong and heavy hitting - but apparently none of the talent. At the time of James J's reign, the great Jack Johnson was calling out the champ for a title shot but as was the attitude of the time was never offered one, so he got "seconds" instead by taking on the younger bro on May 16, 1902. Johnson destroyed the young Jeffries by KO in Rd 5.

 

talented: Vitali

less talented: Wlad

 

I think it's the other way round. Just Vitali has a good beard.
