If it's on most successful then it's the mckenzie's, with duke being the only British 3 weight world champion ever. If its on love and popularity from the public then it's the coopers.

The London's from a few years ago, Jack London Snr won british and commonwealth titles. His son Brian London would follow in his footsteps, Jack London jnr didn't win any titles, but his contribution to the Brawl in Porthcawl in worth watching.
Also the Eubanks had Chris, Simon, Peter and their cousin Frank, plus going well so far Chris Jnr

Wally Swift was a very good box fighter in his day and had 2 lads that boxed at a high level, Tony and Wally Swift Jnr; Robert McCracken was a top class boxer, amateur and pro and had a couple of brothers who could box at a decent level without getting shown up. Kevin Lear was a good amateur and pro and his brother Danny was also very good, The Delaney brothers have already been mentioned, Patsy Gray was a fantastic amateur as was his brother Shaun. The best boxing family at the moment in Britain have to be the Smith brothers - all very high achievers and they're still all at it, respect due!

Walsh brothers might be, think they'll collect a few titles between them.
