While there might be an argument as to who was the greatest heavyweight champion of all time, Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis would certainly be two of the top contenders. This 8” x 10” black and white photo is of two of the all-time greats in a playful moment at a formal gathering. Ali in a suit and tie is smiling and delivering a mock punch towards Louis in a tuxedo who is also smiling and both seem to be enjoying the moment. Ali signed the photo in bold blue sharpie with a “Greatest of All Time” inscription, which might also be directed at Louis. Louis signature is on a 2” x 3” cut adhered to the matting on the 15” x 17” framed display; comes with JSA LOA certification #X03286 for the Louis signature.
