Very rare national Golden Gloves program from 1958 includes a young Cassius Clay. The program itself has seen better days, with both the cover and one four-page set from the centerfold missing, but what's left is in decent shape including the highlight on page 16. Depicted among the Louisville, KY, amateur boxing stars at 175 pounds is Clay - immediately and easily identifiable as the future Muhammad Ali - among teammates and coaches. Starting at just 14 years of age, the man who would be known at The Greatest captured six Golden Gloves titles before turning pro and changing the sport of boxing forever.
