    We really should be posting about how sanctioning bodies crowning multiple champs in the same division is a good thing.

    Jack O'Halloran, I think. He was the California heavyweight champ at one point. He also played Emil Muzz in Dragnet with Akroyd and Hanks.

    Tomato can or not, he and Christopher Reeve almost got into a fight on the set of Superman II. If it had actually gone down, there might not have been a Superman III.

    Typist! I once watched Foster spar and later he said hello to me, which made him a legit contender.

    Jake LaMotta and Joe Pesc..........I mean Lamotta.


    ........haven't been mentioned.


    Joey actually had a good record, but fought some atrocious competition.

    Wow, Rahman Ali didn't turn pro until the night his brother Muhammad won his first title against Liston, according to Wikipedia.

    And Jack O'Halloran ended his career. :tick:

    I think Muhammad and Rahman take it over Manny and Bobby.

    Brother's Ali probably is the winner, but Tommy and Tim Morrison is a good runner-up. Tommy was a contender, Tim was among the worst fighters ever. I haven't seen Rahman Ali in the ring but I would bet my house on him over Tim Morrison

    well I just dont think including people like the Ali brothers should even count. I mean Charlie Zelenoff had a pro fight, that doesn't mean he was a boxer in the sense that he had some kind of career.

    That's probably just because you remember him best as Rahman Clay.
