Remembering Simon "the real beast" Brown

Simon Brown did not use the nickname "The Real Beast." GLENWOOD Brown did.

 

Simon Brown is one of my all-time favorites.
(The only fighter during his WW run that I wanted a 140lbs Chavez to avoid)

 

Brown was a very good fighter would give anyone around today a run for their money.

 

This is the man that stopped Norris?

 

Yes sir.

 

thanks ,

I know he got stopped by Hopkins , what was the deal too small? , old?

 

Both, Simon was @ his absolute best as a welterweight.

 

He was a very good WW in a solid WW era (which gets forgotten due to the amazing era that followed).

His first bout with Trice was a great, great fight.

 

Plus the fact Hopkins is half-decent

 

Yeah, Glenwood was more of a fringe contender/journeyman type (although like many, he may have at one point held some alphabet title. I frankly can't remember).

Simon, on the other hand, was one of the best 147 pounders of the post Leonard era, a top grade world class fighter.

 

This is the GF. Nobody here knows Simon Brown.

They probably think Brown is someone Khan could have beaten.
