    Out of the current crop you can't overlook the Smith brothers.

    I was going to say it's hard to find examples where there isn't one who stands out as by far the best talent, and the others are more associated with them, so the Marquez and Klitschko brothers almost stood alone in modern times. I hadn't thought of the Spinks though, that's a good shout as Cory was an excellent boxer in his day. Mayweathers are also hard to beat in that sense, Roger in his own right was a champion and top level fighter for a long time, even predator was clearly talented. Guys like Matthew Hatton or Jose Cotto would have probably never gotten relevant fights if it weren't for the family connection, even though they gave the odd good account of themselves.

    Early doors of course, but the Charlos are a rarity already. I thought Jermell was the better one for a time, but now it's looking like the other is, either way both class.

    Liam, Paul and Stephen made history by all holding a version of the historic Lonsdale belt in their respective weight class at the same time. Unlikely to be repeated.That is just three of them.

    Well ok, but the Londsdale belt doesn't actually mean anything as far as being very good. At this point it's looking like only Callum has any chance of being a world class fighter.

    As well as being the oldest and best looking belt it means they are all the British title holders. The opening post should probably have given you the hint that this thread is not just about the most successful dynasties.

    So your are saying it is a better belt that the WBO Intercontinental European interim regular junior title ?

    Camacho had a son who was a disappointment.
    Wilfredo Vazquez also had son who was not as much a disappointment as Hector Jr. was, but still didn't measure up to the old man.

    Currently, the Arroyo brothers (McWilliams, McJoe) are doing pretty good for themselves right now.

    Forgot the Peterson brothers
