Before he was “The Greatest”, Muhammad Ali was Cassius Clay, a relatively unknown light-heavyweight from Louisville, KY. The 1960 Rome Olympics changed that, as Clay took the Gold Medal in the 178-Pound division by soundly defeating Polish Boxer Ziggy Pietrzykowski. Offered here are three 11 x 14 photos of Ali from the 1960 Olympics that have been framed in a 20 x 44-inch display. The first photo of Ali, still Clay at the time, wearing his gold medal with two of his Olympic teammates, is signed “Muhammad Ali” in gold, and is a limited-edition 9/200. The next image is of Ali in his US Olympic jacket with his hands in the air to his right and his trademark smile. Ali signed his name “Muhammad Ali” in gold marker and this photograph is marked as a limited-edition 80/100. The final picture shows Ali at the airport proudly displaying his gold medal to his mother, father and brother. Ali signed his birth name “Cassius Clay” in black marker on his chest. This photograph is a limited edition 57/100. This item comes with a LOA from JSA.
