Go toe to toe with the great "Rocky" Marciano, when you bring home this massive framed 44x60 poster display. This wall-hogging display features a life-size image from the belt up, of the "The Brockton Blockbuster" having a go at the speed bag. Below the majestic photo area, is a list of all forty-nine opponents Marciano faced and beat, along with a facsimile autograph, and the legend "Rocky Marciano, Undefeated heavyweight champion of the world". Professionally mounted to overall dimensions of 46x61, this colossal creation dates from shortly after Marciano announced his retirement on 4/27/56. Most of the moderate wear evident, is confined to the opponent list section at bottom, including a couple of wrinkles and some darkened patches. As this poster is adhered to a backer board, the wrinkles are tight and unobtrusive to display, and the overall presentation is very handsome. It's unlikely you would forget this dynamic poster, had you ever seen it before, and if you have, you're one up on us, as we could find no other examples during our research. Get yourself a winning piece of "The Rock from Brockton". 

 

NOTE:  Obtained from the Boxing Hall of Fame, this large display originally hung in a Boston-area bar for over twenty years.
