Shannon and sterling sharpe could give them a run for it. One HOFer and one borderline, like the mannings.

BJ and Justin Upton. Did you not see the 9th inning earlier in the season where they had the game tying and then walk off home runs?

The Mathews clan will have a few hall of famers in this current crop.

I full expect to see an entire front seven comprised of nothing but Mathews brothers and cousins in the next 20 years or so.



clay (maybe) and who?

I'll say their accomplishments outstrip the Mannings. Both have held multiple belts multiple times in boxing, and on top of a sterling amateur career, Vitali is the only person to hold the heavyweight title in kickboxing and boxing.


As far as the Matthews, I did not realize Casey had fallen so far on the Eagles roster. He had a good rookie season.

You still have the two brothers on the A&M line that will play in the league, but they are Clay's cousins, not brothers.

I was going to say this but they'd get their asses kicked if boxing was anything like it used to be.

No, no they wouldn't.

No one in the previous era faced someone with the size, speed and technical proficiency of the Klitschko brothers.

Even Foreman, who was a giant in his era and considered the hardest hitter, was 3 inches shorter and about 15 pounds lighter than Vitali.

Wlad can be caught, but he can still hit harder than just about any other boxer when he wants to. He just doesn't have to.
