What's the best Father/Son combination in boxing history?

Discussion in 'General Boxing Discussion' started by Destruction and Mayhem, Feb 24, 2011.

  1. In terms of aggregation of skill

    Mayweather Snr/Jnr
    Chavez Snr/Jnr
    Spinks Snr/Jnr
    Frazier Snr/Jnr
    Hearns Snr/Jnr


    I've probably forgotten many notable father/son combinations, so please educate me on which one you think is the best in history.

    Wilfredo Vazquez Sr/Jr

    The Mayweathers take this one easily imo. Aside from Junior's obvious ability, Floyd Sr gave a pretty good account of himself against SRL, which iirc was before he got shot in the leg. I've read and heard that before Sr got shot, nobody in the gym was a match for him.
     
  4. ILLUMINATI

    ILLUMINATI Roberto Duran

    Chavez Sr/Jr....Sr. makes up his son lack of skills/accomplishments/etc..

    Mayweather Sr/Jr...JR makes up for his father below average career...


    If Cory Spinks father had been Michael instead of Leon..then they would have won it easily...

    Guty Espadas sr and jr gotta be up there.

    Bernard Hopkins - Felix Trinidad

    Was going to mention them as well. Part of the equation should have to be that both sides were/are accomplished, and both of them were.

    I mean, Tommy Hearns and a pet rock would be just as productive in career achievements as Hearns and his son.
     
  8. Jake

    Kind of breaks the rules since he's not his biological son, but:
    Floyd and Tracy Patterson

    Also, Sly for what it's worth, Cory Spinks isn't a Jr :lol:.

    Floyd and son.

    :laugh11:

    At least the pet rock would have a granite chin and better movement.
     
  12. I know he isn't...but you know what I mean. :lol:

    Sadly out of all potential attributes Ronald could have inherited chin is the only one he received.

    I wonder if Tommy has another son with short arms.
