Ronnie and Reggie?
Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
The Turpin's have to be the most famous
Recently the Smith's have to have the highest profiles. Nice to see they are wasting no time in hyping Callum up to be a shoe in for world class just like the others were

Tony and Wally Swift Jnr were the sons of Wally Swift and were very capable ; Wally in particular had a solid and successful pro career.

Since British has not been specified, surely the Spinks family is worth a mention.......

Klitschko's, Marquez's, Santa Cruz's, Garcia Hirales', Saenkham/Galaxy's and plenty of othersSamWise72 wrote:Since British has not been specified, surely the Spinks family is worth a mention.......
Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
There's something in the back of my mind saying Khaosai and Kaokor weren't related, but actually, I think I'm confusing them with someone else. The tendency for Thai fighters to change their surnames to their sponsors names threw up a situation where people appeared to be brothers but weren't, but it wasn't them, thinking about it.

Were the Spinks' cousins rather than brothers?
Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
There's a couple from Cov off the top of my head.
Mark and Gareth Payne and Llewy and Rhys Davies.

Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
We're on to a 3rd generation Spinks now I think.
The Galaxy's were more than just brothers, they were twins. So were the Porpaoins/Motma's.
Oddly despite the sponsorship stuff in Thailand they do have some genuine brothers such as the Hanwichachai family (Pichit Sitbangprachan and Pichit Chor Siriwat), the Sor Vorapins and of course the Boonjunmongs.
Suriyan Sor Rungvisai and Nawaphon Por Chokchai are also brothers

I'm pretty sure it was the various 3K Batteries that I was thinking of

Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
Oh, also Canizales's's's's. Gaby and Orlando were world champs at the same time for a bit, which is pretty good going.
