Entitled, "Sizing Up the Top Heavyweight Contenders," artist and cartoonist Bill Gallo does an analytical comparison of the finest boxing boxers of the day in this two-page spread for "Ring Magazine." Distinguished artist Gallo made the masses laugh and cry and relive the most memorable sports moments during America's time of innocence. He evaluates Muhammad Ali as "The snappy left hand is still in evidence but it takes a little longer to get there." He is extremely critical of the fighting squad of the period. Joe Frazier: "Once the relentless, aggressive heavyweight champ, appears now to be a plodder." Ouch, that hadda hurt! Each boxer has images depicting them in motion. Comes with an original commercially-produced plaque, measures 18x27" and is in NRMT condition.
