Honorable Mentions Part 1
15. The Fighting Sands
The pack of Sands brothers, Dave, Clem, Ritchie, George, Alfie and Russell, all fought professionally. Dave found the most acclaim, winning Australian titles at three different weight classes.
But together they combine for nearly 500 pro bouts—495 to be exact. It’s the most by a pair (or herd) of siblings in history.
14. George and Joe Chip
George Chip was a huge player in the middleweight ranks through the talent-rich mid-west of the early 20th century. He compiled a record of 79-66-17 (including newspaper decisions), knocking out the legendary Frank Klause twice and beating Hall of Famers Jack Dillon and the nonpareil Harry Greb.
Joe Chip was never the standout his brother was but that didn’t stop him from handing Greb the first knockout loss of his esteemed career.
13. Khaosai and Khaokor Galaxy
Most would rate the Galaxy brothers much higher, but their combined resumes don’t merit as much.
Khaosai Galaxy was as gigantic a super flyweight that anyone will ever see and he had a cracking punch to match. But his gaudy 47-1 record (including 41 knockouts) is hardly made up of anyone worth their weight in salt.
His twin brother, Khaokor Galaxy was actually the more technically-sound fighter. He is a two-time bantamweight weight world champion, beating the excellent Wilfredo Vazquez and Sung Kil Moon in 1988 and 1989, respectively.
Those are two wins his more popular brother can’t match.
12. Gaby and Orlando Canizales
Gaby Canizales, five years the eldest, was a perennial bantamweight contender during the 1980’s. Orlando Canizales came around in the 90’s and showcased a near flawless boxer-puncher style to hang on to the IBF 118-pound belt for six years.
11. Jerry, Mike and Bob Quarry
Jerry Quarry fought in a golden age of heavyweight talent. He shared the ring with names like Muhammad Ali, Floyd Patterson and Ken Norton–plus many, many more. He never did win a title himself, though.
His brother Mike Quarry didn’t either, losing by knockout to Bob Foster in 1972 in an unsuccessful bid for the WBC and WBA heavyweight belts.
Bobby Quarry, youngest of the three, fought too, accumulating a poor record of 9-12-2.
