Boxer's who live(d) in their brother's shadows?

I was watching Bobby Pacquaio/Velazquez today and struck me as funny that two brothers, with such similar phsyical attributes and appearance, and one would be the #1 fighter in the sport and the other would be a decent journeyman at best. They are not even in the same league. I realize also that Ricky Hatton's brother Matthew is in the same boat. Mike Quarry had a respectable career but obviously never came close to reaching the acclaim of Jerry.

What are some of the other boxing bros who had one successful one and one (or more) who remained relatively obscure and unsuccessful? Obviously that can't be said about the Klitschkos. And even though Leon Spinks became one of boxing's casualties he did have his 15 minutes in the sunshine.

Henry Coppers brother was a good fighter just that Henry dropped Ali.

Wlad, and it can be said.

I believe Librado Andrade has a brother who boxes; and he claims is better than himself. Not as if Librado has a "stellar" career but he is a good fighter and you don't hear much about the sibling.

Also I believe Jorge Linares has a brother who fights:confused: Correct me if I'm wrong. If so he will have a hard time being as well respected as Jorge.

Bobby Pacquiao just needs to stop getting knocked out all the time and he'll be right there with Manny! Manny is known for his short right hook and most importantly his straight left, BUT, IMO Bobby has the better signature punch...the deadly low blow!

Donald Curry/Bruce Curry
Jake La Motta/Joey La Motta
Khaosai Galaxy/Khaokor Glaxy
Terry Norris/Orlin Norris
Ricky Hatton/Matthew Hatton

Im sure Muhammad Ali had a brother that fought on the Fight Of The Century card ? anyway heres some more that come to mind.

Milton McCrory/Steve McCrory
Henry Cooper/George Cooper Twin Brothers ?
Floyd Patterson/Ray Patterson

Chris Eubank - Peter and Simon

Tho both are P4P boxers, I'm guessing Rafa is more popular in Mexico than Juan Manuel due to their style of boxing... Rafa is more of a Mexican warrior style willing to go toe-to-toe anytime while Juan Manuel uses a somewhat boring counter punching style...
;D

Just when I thought you were good after posting that great thread yesterday about the press conf. you go and post this comment...

:LOS:

How OR what draws you to this conclusion?
Have you ever even been to Mexico?

Nevermind, don't answer those questions. I don't know why I even bother sometimes... :(

That would be Nelson Linares.

Orlando Canizalez and Gaby....swore never to fight one another.
Harold Warren and Frankie
Matthew Hilton and Davey.....Matthew had some skills
Mike Ayala and Tony....both just sabotaged themselves badly.Tony ruined other lives as well.
Gabe Ruelas and Rafa....Always thought Gabe the better fighter
Victor Rabanales and Bruno
James Leija and Louie

Well I'm only guessing (see my original post)... :-X

I think Mexicans love punchers... most boxing fans love punchers... not counter-punchers...
.

For a while,I thought Derrick Gainer was Roy Jones Brother.He seemed to be on every card with him and always around him like an adopted puppy.

Zab Judah/Joel Judah

Robbie Sims, a very inderrated fighter fought in the shadows of his half-brother, Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

na, Wlad doesn't live in his brothers shadow at all. He has made as much if not more money than vitali, and is as well known. To live in somebodys shadow, to me anyhow you would go about pretty much unknown because all the attention is on the other person, as is true for mathew hatton, bobby pac and a few others. this is in no way the case for Wlad.

Some one has already said Matthew Hatton

But I don't think Matthew's heart has ever truly been in boxing If Ricky wasn't a boxer Matthew would be a carpet fitter

He has had a nice little career and achieved more than most and more than he probably expected, so I don't think he lives in his shadow just firmly attached to Ricky's coat tails and happy to be there

Roger "The Dodger" Leonard,an AAU National Champion and 4x US Air Force Champion, retired as a pro after going 16-1. It was said that he had more gym wars than his brother and fought on Ray's undercards, but retired in 1982. He still is involved in boxing near the Baltimore area, but man he had some big shoes to "fill" even though he was the older brother of Sugar Ray Leonard.

I've heard many times trainers/coaches say that it's often the little brother that outshines the older one.

Ill go Davey Hilton
Mathew was light middleweight champ,brother in law is Arturo Gatti

In a non boxing one Ozzie Canseco in baseball,Jose's twin brother

Brian London Brother Boxed under the family name of Harper. All Boxers are counter Punchers, they are countering movement, except the ones Fighting Dead bodies ;D

Bigboy Hogue and his brother Shorty were probably each others equal for a number of years (both winning national amateur titles), but Shorty started to meet and beat some of the bigger names in west coast boxing including: Archie Moore, Eddie Booker and LLoyd Marshall.

Eventually Shorty overshadowed his brother to such an extent that the green-eyed monster raised its ugly head and things turned nasty!

The only time I've seen him was against Mack and he did not impress me.

Randy Turpin - Dick Turpin / Jackie Turpin

both Randy's brothers were good fighter but lived in his shadow in boxing history.

Jose Cotto living in baby brother Miguel's shadow must not be fun. :p

Joe Gatti older brother of Arturo Gatti.

this thread immediately reminded me of a story i read a while back about robbie simms, marvin haglers half brother.

Not 100 % sure on this one but Tim Morrison brother of Tommy.Watching a couple of his not so great fights and Tompkins mentions relation?

Jerry Quarry,Mike & Bobby.There was also a family in the 50's or 60's with about 6 brothers,all of whom fought professionaly ??Hmm

Donald Curry had another brother who was a pro fighter Graylin Curry. Don and Bruce both won world titles, Graylin never took boxing as seriously as the others
