Tony Mundine was a better fighter than his son but unfortunately, he was caught between middleweight and light-heavyweight in the days before super-middleweight and getting down to middle drained him and cost him some big fights. His chin was also let him down in those fights. Nevertheless, he beat a lot of good men and possessed fine boxing skills and a real dig.

Billy "Dynamite" Douglas was Buster's dad, a man who wasn't as talented as Buster but more dedicated and determined.JimJim2009 wrote: ↑08 Jan 2019, 08:36Buster mathis jnr wasn't it ?Michael1988 wrote: ↑04 Sep 2018, 10:14 I’m no way near as knowledgeable as most on here, not having looked it up, wasn’t Buster Douglas’ dad a pro?

Mundine and Douglas are two guys who fit the thread title to a tee, but not if it is expanded to suggest they were actually better fighters.
Interesting flip around of which sons did not eclipse their father's ring achievements but were better fighters?
