I am hearing that great things are expected of Ellijah McCall son of Oliver McCall, Former heavyweight champion of the world. Elijah looks exactly like a young version of his father its very striking. Hope he doesn't follow in his drug and Alcahol habits........

Tony & Anthony Mundine.
Tony lost to Carlos Monzon, Anthony of course a former WBA super middle champ.
Leo & Luisito Espinosa.
Luisito a former 2 weight world champion, Leo lost a decision to Pascual Perez.
Muhammd & Laila Ali could be another.
Brian & Jack London could count. Brian fought Patterson and Ali and came close, Jack was a British champion and fought guys like Tommy Loughran and Buddy Baer but never got a shot I don't believe.
Mike Weaver's triplets were all contenders I believe.

The question that begs to be asked: Does Elijah have his dad's otherworldly chin?

Alfredo Escalera Jr. He's a cruiserweight that looks like a GIGANTIC version of his dad. 16-1, but hasn't stepped up yet. He's competing on this years Contender.

Mayweather Snr was a solid journyman type, not world class, let alone a world champ IMO.

Lennie and Ray Mancini
Lennie was highly respected, but World War II probably put pay to him ever becoming champ.

The Weaver triplets were not Mike Weaver's kids, they were either his brothers or nephews.
