Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
Henry Cooper and his identical brother George turned pro together. George boxed under the name Jim Cooper as there was already a George boxing. Jim didn't have the ring sucess that Henry did, but in his debut he beat future Euro champ Dick Richardson and was the first to beat Playboy Johnny Prescott.
Bruce and Don Curry , they both won world titles , but Don was the better boxer. Bruce was a tough guy who would come out swinging, his first fight with Benitez and the war with Monroe Brooks are definatly worth watching.

The Kameda's! (how the bloody hell did I forget them!), the Penalosa's worthy of a mention too (both generation of brothers).
Actually are the Penalosa's the only the only family two have 2 generations of brothers?

Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
I'd have to say the Marquezes are my favourite.
Arguably they have achieved more, combined, than any other boxing siblings.
I'm curious to see what the Jacksons will do (Julian Jackson's sons).
The Tiozzos, Rocchigiannis and the Norrises are some that stick out in my mind.
Domestically, the Magees & Finnegans.

Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
Have any brothers ever faced each other as pros?
Re: boxing brothers ...... who are some great boxing families
Don't think so, no.
There is a case of a father fighting a son though, some obscure Danish (?) heavyweights, I think. Weird photo of it somewhere.
