Mike and Tommy GIBBONS.I'm astounded it took that long for somebody to bring them up. (Aren't they still the only brothers in the IBHOF?)

[anarci]

I know Juan will make it but i also think Rafeal deserves too also (Marquez)

[Flea Man]

I know Juan will make it but i also think Rafeal deserves too also (Marquez)

Agreed, even though I think Rafa gets overrated in terms of legacy AND h2h matchups with other Bantam greats.

[anarci]

Dont think he is overrated, in fact he is underrated especially at bantam he is close to a top 10 all time bantam.

[Flea Man]

Exactly, he is overrated.

penalosa, pacquiao and donaire

[Bummy Davis]

Funny thing about brothers is like Joey and Jimmy Archer, Joey was a classy boxer but not much of a puncher, Jimmy was a puncher.

Jerry Quarry was a puncher, Mike was not.

With the Klitsko'd Vitali seems real solid....Vlads has been questioned

The Hilton brother were another pack, Gatti's

Ayala's

[anarci]

Exactly, he is overrated. In about 15 years you will agree with me:yep

[Flea Man]

In about 15 years you will agree with me:yep

:lol: You seem to forget that other fighters records won't degrade over time.:yep

:goodmmmm got to agree with you there.if randy turpin had had brother dick's wise old head on his shoulders instead of his own wayward (as dick put it)head then history would be looking at a different fighter

[bandido]

Jorge Barrera was a journeyman and older brother of Marco.

Jorge was stopped by Johnny Tapia in 3 rounds He went 20-9-1-8kos in the Jr Bantamweight division saw him fight at the Forum a couple times wasnt a bad fighter, but not that good either. Workman like Trialhorse type.

[anarci]

Edwin,Adolfo Viruet

Im watching Adolpho and Sugar Ray Leonard right now, not a big puncher but physically strong was a solid contender, But i think Edwin was better.

[Zopilote]

[Flea Man]

Chris and Kevin Finnegan

Both gave ATG's arguably their toughest fights; Hagler (said so himself about Kevin) and Bob Foster (damn competitive fight for Chris)

[GPater11093]

Would love to see the Hagler bouts.

[jackdempsey]

How about The Flanagan brothers out of st Paul Minnesota Both had over a 120 pro fights, and are in the World Boxing Hall Of Fame. Glen was a world rated featherweight and lightweight contender and brother Del a world rated Welterweight and middleweight contender. They put Minnesota on the map in the 40s and 50s and fought them all.

Im surprised no-one has mentioned kirkland laing and his brother (who actually KO'd a world champion)

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.
