 | | The Facts...Charlie Brown was the first IBF lightweight champ, winning the title Jan. 30, 1984, by scoring knockdowns in the first and fourth rounds against Melvin Paul, of New Orleans, then surviving a last-round knockdown himself to earn a 15-round split decision at the Sands Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. |
 | | Brown lost the title three months later when he was K0d in 14 rounds by Harry Arroyo, of Youngstown, OH, in the same ring. |
 | | A pro from 1979 to 1993, Brown had less-than-modest success after losing his title, going 3-2-1 in his next six fights (losses to Cornelius Boza-Edwards and Tyrone Crawley) before finishing his career with 11 losses in a row, eight by knckout. |
