(Aaron Lister Brown)

BORN   December 23 1883: Fulton, Missouri
DIED April 6 1934: Los Angeles, California
HEIGHT 5-8
WEIGHT 138-155 lbs
MANAGERS Bill Jacobs, Charlie Gavin

Dixie Kid was a welterweight who often fought heavier men; He was clever and fast with quick reflexes -- a counter-puncher deluxe; Kid fought with his hands at his sides and his chin stuck out, inviting attack; His favorite punches were a right uppercut followed by a left hook to the head

He defeated such men as Joe Walcott, Georges Carpentier, Jeff Clark, George Cole, Al Neill, Dick O'Brien, Frank McConnell, Mose LaFontise, George Gunther, Young Loughrey, Jack Goldswain, Arthur Evernden, Jack Meekins and Johnny Summers

Nat Fleischer ranked the “Kid” as the # 5 All-Time Welterweight; Herb Goldman ranked the “Kid” as the #16 All-Time Welterweight; The "Kid" was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1975 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2002
