In modern parlance, Ali trolled his opponents any chance he could get—in this case on Frazier's own turf. Ultimately, Smokin' Joe reigned supreme, capturing the heavyweight crown at Madison Square Garden on March 8, 1971, in what was dubbed the "Fight of the Century." This limited-edition 21x24 piece by photographer George Kalinsky is numbered 27/250 and features the brown-marker signatures of Ali ("8-9") and Frazier ("9-10"). NM condition. Matted and framed with a plaque to measure an overall 31x36. Full LOA from JSA.
