    Default charlie white lightning brown

    In the early or late 80's charlie 'white lightning" brown was fighting against another boxer whose name I have forgotten except for nickname I think it was "rootin'". Both these boxers were undefeated at the time. Because of hand speed, charlie brown ended up winning on points.

    1. What has happened to Charlie Brown?
    2. What was the other boxer's name? I remember he was black

    Help me please.

    Hi Gentlemen,

    I may have been mistaken by saying "white lightning". It could have been just "lightning". His opponent's boxing name (nickname) was rootin' tootin'. As Brown was white the other boxer was black. If I am not mistaken the undercard in Marvin Hagler vs Juan Roldan and perhaps in 1984.

    Help

    No it wasn't on the undercard of Roldan vs Hagler i don't believe.

    Charlie is now living in his hometown. And it was Rootin Tootin Newton who was from Oklahoma.

    While I don't believe it was Greg, Haugen iced him in one shocking round.

    Harry Arroyo "ruined" Charely in 8 brutal rounds. He was never the same after that and even Joey Ferrell (sp-?) beat him. I did see him beat an uninspired Saul Mamby live in NYC in the early '90s and that was probably his last decent fight. He finished out his career badly.

    "White Lightening" was from my home state of Illinois, but he was from Moline which is like another world. He was an interesting fighter who came though the boxing scene like, well, white lightening.

    Speaking of Arroyo, he beat another Charlie Brown--Charlie "Choo Choo" Brown which makes him th only boxer to ever fight and beat two high profile opponents named "Charlie Brown." BTW, "Choo Choo" was one tough SOB.
