This drawing was actually done by Muhammad Ali and gifted to noted Time Magazine and Sports Illustrated photographer Neil Leifer. It measures 12x15" on poster board in black ink and is signed "To Neil, Muhammad Ali," along with "Frazier, Ali" and a date that is indecipherable. There are also a few minor smudges in some areas. Depicts Ali and Frazier in the ring with hundreds of small marks surrounding. Leifer is forever tied to Ali as the person who snapped the transcendent shot of The Greatest standing over a prone Sonny Liston, and Leifer snapped many images of the champ over both of their illustrious careers. From the Neil Leifer Collection Guernsey's Auction.
