Has their ever been an instance when brothers have fought each
other inside the ropes ?
I know talk of the two Klitschko's fighting one another has been
thrown around.
Was their ever a suggestion of the Spinks brothers fighting ?
Thanks again guys

Re: Brothers meeting in the ring..
The flyweight world rated half brothers Ramon Arias and Ramon Calatayud, in the '50, many times:
1956 February 2, Maracaibo, Venezuela - Arias beat Calatayud in 10
1956 November 5, Caracas, Venezuela - Calatayud beat Arias, 10
1957 March 15, Caracas - Arias beat Calatayud, 12 (Venezuelan Flyweight Title, Vacant)
1958 November 17, Caracas - Arias beat Calatayud, 12 (Venezuelan Fly Title)
1960 June 24, Maracaibo - Arias beat Calatayud, 12 (Ven. Fly Title)

Re: Brothers meeting in the ring..
I know that back in the 90's Marty and Eric Jakubowski fought, and I believe that Marty won by KO. The only reason I know that is because I happened to have been looking over Marty Jakubowski's record a few days ago (reference my last post to Expug on the "Not so Great' thread).

Robbie Sims, Hagler's half-brother, actually became Marvin's outstanding challenger when he licked John Collins and Roberto Duran in back-to-back fights in 1986. Poor Robbie was left without a title fight. When he did come back, after a long time out, he was held to surprise draw by Tim Williams.EriqS wrote:I know that back in the 90's Marty and Eric Jakubowski fought, and I believe that Marty won by KO.

Re: Brothers meeting in the ring..
Jim Jeffries boxed his brother Jack in dozens (perhaps hundreds) of exhibitions throughout the USA, England and France when Jim was champion. Jim probably boxed with Jack more than any other person.
Jack was Jim's favorite sparring partner - always giving Jim his best workouts. Jack displayed a lot of talent in the gym, and Tommy Ryan took him under his wing in 1900 hoping to take him to the title once Jim retired. Jack, however, was only a gym fighter. He froze up in actual fights and had an undistinguished professional record of 1-1-2. He was famously knocked out by Jack Johnson in 1902.
In 1899, Jim and Jack engaged in exhibitions in which they would reenact Jim's knockout of Fitzsimmons (with Jack playing the role of Fitz). Once, after Jack was "kayoed," Jim gave him a playful kick in the butt as Jack was sprawled on the canvas. Jack took it as an afront, leaped to his feet, and the fans that night almost saw a real fight between the Jeffries boys.

Re: Brothers meeting in the ring..
Ali used to spar with his brother when he was an amateur and early pro....
Re: Brothers meeting in the ring..
There were some Asian brothers that fought overseas in the 90's I believe.Winner scored a 6th round stoppage.Don't remember their names.
I doubt a brotherly bout would be sanctioned in the USA by any legitimate commission,it would be too bizarre,not to mention inhumane to their mother.

Didn't Marvin use Robbie as a sparring partner for the Leonard fight?bennie wrote:Robbie Sims, Hagler's half-brother, actually became Marvin's outstanding challenger when he licked John Collins and Roberto Duran in back-to-back fights in 1986.

Tommy and Bobby Howard two Seattle boxers fought each other.
Re: Brothers meeting in the ring..
Wonder if Roger ever kicked Ray butt back in the day during sparring?
