All-time great heavyweight boxing champions enter the bidding ring, with this selection of (4) flats, including (3) that are signed. A hundred years ago, Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney each reigned as heavyweight champs during the ill-conceived "Prohibition" era. Forty years later, "Smokin' Joe" Frazier became the heavyweight champ, and at one point is his electric career, he even gave Muhammad Ali more than he could handle, with a barrage of devastating left hooks in "The Fight of the Century". These proud "Ring Lords" are gathered here for your collecting pleasure, with this group of (4) items.
