and even tho i aint a fan i guess you could include kevin and chinny mitchell

'chinny mitchell' ?... what makes you say that? has one of the mitchell bros been ko'd?.. thought they was both unbeaten so far?

Think Vinny got wiped out be Akash Bakia in the ams didnt he?

That was when Vinny was 16/17 and his first fight in a year and Akash was more like 20/21 I think, if that is the case there is a lot of difference mature wise between a teenager and a man in early 20's. Haye got KO'd in a fight, took big punches since but stood up to them, Lewis got KO'd and came back, fought same man, stood up to the punches and KO'd him that time so also to suffer a KO once or so does not have to mean your chinny, outside circumstances can have an effect how you withhold a punch, like crashing weight to quick etc. Frazier got wiped out by Forman but I wouldn't say Frazier was chinny.

O'Callaghan's, Paddy, Peter and Johnny three brothers from 1950's Dagenham fighting family.

yes he did Jim or was it george

George Cooper is Henry's twin brother, but he boxed pro as Jim Cooper, as there was already a George Cooper boxing at the time, and he didn't want to get mixed up.

There are quite alot of brothers that have boxed, usually one is quite a bit more sucessful than the other.

Muhammed Ali's brother Rahman boxed pro, as did Floyd Pattersons brother Ray. And another heavyweight champ Larry Holmes had a brother Mark Holmes who boxed as a middle.

Billy Hearns boxed pro , he's Tommys brother. Not sure why but Billy only had 7 pro fights before giving it up, he now helps train Tommys son Ronald Hearns

Very true - the diff between age 17 and 21/22 can be massive in terms of strength and power

Good shout there Coco with Max

There are loads and loads of example.

Truth is that boxing tends to run in families. It is very common for whole families to box and sons to follow in the footsteps of their dads.

Just for the record, Vinny Mitchell was kayoed in 24 seconds in the London ABA featherweight final in November 2005 by Akaash Bhatia. Mitchell was 18; Bhatia, 22.
Bhatia made it to the ABA finals a month later, where he lost to Stephen Smith (8-6).

Father and son, Paul and Nicky Cook. Paul was a lightweight in the 80's I think. His other son's Nicky's brothers Paul jnr and Darren also boxed but as amature.

Several of the Quarry brothers boxed (Jerry, the most famous), all managed by their notorious father, Jack.
Jack had the words "Hard Luck" tattooed across his knuckles.

No mention of the Turpins?

Corcarans?

Isn't Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns son fighting? Ronald?
Don't recall anybody entioning the Klitschkos
Have the Chavez's been mentioned.
Did Scott Harrisons dad (Peter) Box?

The thread is about British boxers
