Lot Number: 275
Description: 1967 original art for a published cartoon by sports cartoonist Bruce Stark. Signed and inscribed in blue ink: ôBest of luck to you in your career, Joe - Bruce Starkö The cartoon depicts a powerful, upper-cutting Joe Frazier with smaller images of Muhammad Ali and Floyd Patterson. In the cartoon, the point is made that no Olympic heavyweight champion ascended to the professional heavyweight crown. However, the point is also made that if Frazier defeats a tough George Chuvalo (which he did), he might be the first to achieve this lofty goal. Fight fans know that Frazier was indeed the first man to win the heavyweight championship on both the amateur and professional levels.
Estimated Price: ($400.00-$600.00)
