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

Hatton brothers.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
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.
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.
The 3 twin bothers..Troy, Lloyd and Floyd of Mike Weaver. All pros!
Rabanales brothers
Manny and Bobby Pacquiao
Jerry, Bobby and Mike Quarry
The Hiltons..I mean come on man!
Max and Buddy.
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
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
