cory spinks had a pretty good career he won a few world titles, beat mayorga and so on, son of leon who wasnt that great but was certainly famous after beating ali.

and mentioning ali, not father son but laila ali is one of the most famous female boxers ever(mostly due to being related to being mohammeds daughter :S), no idea if she was any good as I dont watch female boxing.

Cory and Leon are a pretty good example of a father-son combo where there isn't a clear-cut winner as to who was more famous/ successful. I'm sure you'd get an argument either way. Michael, Leon's brother, was pretty good in his own right.

Leila was good, but it seems she faded quite quickly.

Couldn't be a wider gap than how Aaron Pryor jr ended up compared to his Father. 6'4 and double digit losses was not Pops way. Guty Espadas Sr and Jr I believe were the very first Father-son pair to win titles, with Jr arguably doing just as well and being robbed vs an undefeated Erik Morales. Tracy Patterson and Floyd did very well for themselves.
