Sons who eclipsed their fathers ring achievements?

[jamamb]

like coco said there are a lot of succesful fighters whose dads were pros but really had no notable careers to speak of.


robert guerros dad was a 0-7 (6) pro

chad dawsons dad was a 1-4 pro

fernando montiels dad was a 7-10 pro

tony harrisons dad was a 11-7 pro

zab judahs dad was a 1-1 pro

thabiso mchunus dad was a 2-6 pro

2x euro champ lukas konecnys dad was a 22-13 pro who didnt get past national level

ken shiros dad had a decent career and was 20-1 but never got past regional level like his world class son did. funny enough ken is 5'5 but his dads 6'4

I’m no way near as knowledgeable as most on here, not having looked it up, wasn’t Buster Douglas’ dad a pro? Not sure about his résumé

Here's the article, he was pretty good, records can be deceiving. He dropped MSM and was unlucky to get stopped.

Thanks for that
Will have to check out a few fights

[handsofstone]

Was reading yesterday that Buster Douglas's old man was a pro

[Espada]

Wally Swift jr?
or achieved the same level?

That’s right, Jonesy too

[Loftgroov]

Chris Eubank Jnr... obviously

Ray boom boom Mancini

I was pointing out that Wally Swift Jr and his father could be an example of a father and son who equalled their ring achievements. An example of a potential third thread, Stuarty set up two, where the father was better and where the son was better. My point is that there are some very rare examples where the father and son achieved equality in their success. Jack London senior and Brian London are possibly a second example of this.

I always thought Cory and a better overall career than Leon.

Wasn't Zabs dad a pro kickboxer too?

[jamamb]

[Bladder]

Matthew Hilton (and maybe his paedo brother) eclipsed his father Dave Hilton Sr

[Espada]

Dean Francis
Anthony Mundine

Corey's career far eclipsed Leons.

Meant to put "had" a better.....

I see these topics here from time to time and nobody ever seems to mention Corey.

Corey was a damned good fighter.
Way longer prime than the 1 good win Leon.
Who by the way I was always a fan of

[fanman]

Andre Ward had a much better boxing career than God.

[Autobarn]

Harry Duiven jr’s Pro career certainly eclipsed his father’s...

But not as much as Felix Trinidad did.

Hahahaha, he actually beat his dad I recall.

[Syntax Error]

Chris Eubank Jnr... obviously

Junior is deluded, but even he wouldn't claim that.

[Manchester Massive]

Anthony Crolla

[Bard of Boxrec]

Andre Ward had a much better boxing career than God.

I heard God was handy on the cobbles though.

Dean Francis
Anthony Mundine

Just saying, Tony Mundine (from my early days) had a pretty fair career. 80-15-1. Saw him fight Monzon in 1974.

[stujones]

Stephen Foster Jnr

I would say pretty similar as a pro being honest. Foster Jnr was the more talented no doubt.
