Who were they? The first father and son to win world titles.
Floyd and Tracy Harris Patterson
Floyd 1956 Heavyweight
Tracy 1992 WBC Super
Bantamweight
Guty SR. and Guty JR. Espadas
Guty 1976 WBA Flyweight
Guty Jr. 2000 WBC Featherweight
Leon and Cory Spinks
Leon 1978 Heavyweight
Cory 2003 IBF Junior
Welterweight
I'll guess Floyd Patterson and Tracy Patterson if they count, I know Tracy was technically adopted.
I'll go with Arístides and Eder Jofre
Are you giving the wrong answer deliberately or is the book wrong? LOLQuote:

I thought of them too. Cory is such a pathetic excuse for a champion though it pained me to say it.Quote:

Can't think of any more.
Future- Monk Foreman? Chris Eubanks jr? I hope.
Jorge Paez Jr never has won nor has he ever fought for a world title so that one is outQuote:

Which is technically a world title.
But to be fair I was clutching at straws and kinda knew it wouldn't count lol.
I knew the Vazquez one but I never knew it was the same weight class.
that's more of a regional or interim title type thing, not really a world titleQuote:
