    Amir Khan

    Haroon is unproven but I doubt he will exceed European level

    Donaire?
    The Kamedas?
    The second generation Penalosa brothers? (or the first generation of boxing brothers)

    Most I thought of have been mentioned.

    Anthony Peterson, Lamont's (slightly) less illustrious brother is another

    Mikey Garcia is proving to be a superior version of big brother, Robert. People who weren't watching boxing back then don't realize how highly regarded Robert (then Roberto) was, with his amazing blend of hand speed, power, defense, and agility. He was considered the looming threat during Floyd's early reign. Unfortunately Robert had durability issues. He also seemed to burn off a lot of excess energy when he fought.

    i would think a lot of boxers picked up boxing because their father and/or their brother boxed.

    GGG says his brother Max had better skills than him (at gym level I'm assuming) but that he hit harder. Don't think Max ever really tried to progress as an amateur tho.

    Serious? Somehow I always thought that references to Dick Turpin were some kinda joke (Bout the infamous highwayman). Guess it's on me then:patsch

    Too many to mention. Next step is fighters with more than one inferior boxing brother:

    Roger Mayweather - Floyd, Jeff
    Jerry Quarry - Mike, Bobby
    Fritzie Zivic - Joe, Eddie, Pete, Jack
    Chris Eubank - Peter, Simon
