was browsing records and noticed that robert guerrero's father was 0-7 (7) as a pro, while son was a world champ. also that canelo has a bro who had one fight and lost to a random guy then never fought again

what are the biggest gaps in achievment/ability between boxers who are related?

what about siblings?

how about in uk?

Amir Khan and Haroon Khan.

I mean he’s undefeated. But just packed it in.

This was more like a big gap in talent too.

Tyson Fury and John Fury were quite the gulf in terms of father-son.

Tyson Fury - Tommy Fury

Micky Ward - Dick Eklund

Chris Eubank Jr - Sebastian Eubank

Deontay Wilder - Marsellos Wilder

Muhammad Ali - Rahaman Ali

Bernard Hopkins - Demetrius Hopkins

Tommy Hearns - Billy Hearns

Sugar Ray Leonard - Roger Leonard

Tommy Hearns - Ronald Hearns (I mean Ronald wasn't bad, far from it) - but Tommy was special.

Floyd Mayweather Jnr - Floyd Mayweather Snr - As with Ronald Hearns, Mayweather Snr has a record most would be proud off - then you have Floyd Jnr.

Manny Pacquiao - Bobby Pacquiao - Again Bobby was better probably than his record suggests - but its Manny Pacquiao.

But whilst do not like doing this.

Ricky Hatton - Campbell Hatton. Again Campbell Hatton is far from bad if he was just on small shows with no TV camera's - can see him perhaps going to English title level (which isn't a bad thing) but it is a mile away from his Dad.

Joe Bugner Snr - Joe Bugner Jnr.

Alan Minter - Ross Minter (I liked Ross, but didn't live to expectation).

Peter Fury and Hughie Fury. More of a gulf in terms of achievement than anybody else mentioned.

I'm sure Peter could have done more as a boxer (as could many others) but had other commitments.

Miguel Cotto and his brother Jose

Oliver McCall and Elijah McCall. The father even had to go and avenge one of his son’s defeats…

Henry Cooper and his identical twin brother George (boxed as Jim) didn't enjoy the same success, despite the shared genes.

Nick Blackwell was a good prospect, Dan Blackwell was tough but pretty much a losing journeyman

Peter Harrison finished with a record of 7-6, including a Scottish title win. His son Scott ended up being a two time world champion.

I knew a guy who spent some time at one of their am gyms, he used to say, you think Amir is good, just wait till his kid brother comes through!

Oliver McCall has one of the greatest chins in boxing , Elijah McCall didn't.
