Created by famed Boston Herald cartoonist Vic Johnson, this Cassius Clay vs. Sonny Liston cartoon is not something you run across everyday.  This piece of pop culture must have been illustrated well before the bout because the fight was ultimately rescheduled after Muhammad Ali unfortunately had to go to the hospital three days before the historic event.  Bottom right corner shows original scheduled date of November 16th.  Signed by artist Vic Johnson on bottom right, framed to 15x15".
