I'll guess Floyd Patterson and Tracy Patterson if they count, I know Tracy was technically adopted.

I would agree with Bean but I'm not 100% sure.

If Tracy and Floyd are wrong, I'll throw Leon and Cory Spinks into the mix!

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