Brit Forum: What boxing memorabilia do you have/collect?

Oh where to start!

I have the autographs of all HW champs from Willard to Patterson, plus signed stuff from Henry Armstrong, Barney Ross, Tony Canzoneri, Benny Leonard, Tommy Loughran, Sugar Ray Robinson, Basilio, LaMotta, Conn, Zale, Graziano, Berg, Wilde, Bummy Davis. Tickets for Dempsey Tunney I and II, Dempsey Firpo, Dempsey Willard, Dempsey Carpentier, Dempsey Gibbons, Davis Jack, Davis Graziano, Armstrong Garcia, Johnson Jeffries.
Programmes for Dempsey Vs Tunney I and II and Carpentier, plus countless other stuff too numerous to mention all from fighters active pre 1960

 

Wouldn't want a fire in your house! I was very close to buying a signed Ali picture once but decided to put the money towards a new car. Now I wish I bought the picatsch.

 

serious?? Thats impressive, and obviously cost a bit!


I know this strictly isn't memorabilia, but I remember some guy on esb telling a story of how he ended up being in Nigel Benns corner for one of the Benn Vs Eubank fights. That is memorabilia in itself, and i'm sure the guy took a ouvenir that night!

 

I thought the part when he absolutely drenched benn with a bucket and the trainer had a pop at him but Benn said it was alright was hilarious!! What a story.....

I'am a boxing poster nut:nut

The pride ov my collection is proberbly TYSON/BERBICK (Iron Fist) & it's dual signed & dated by Tyson 2 days before he became champ, i got it from Steve Lott who was Tyson's buddy/co manager before givin's & king came on the scene,:smoke

Chavez/Taylor 1 signed by Chavez + Leonard/Hearns 1 (Dual Signed) 100's more On-Site/PPV, vintage closed circuit, gotta blow the £££ before the kids get it:smoke

Women HATE-EM:twisted: I've got the Chavez/Taylor 1 poster up in the lounge only because the missis knows i was offered £1000 for it

 

I just noticed your avatar. What a poster to have and for so many different reasons:shock:.

 

The DURAN/MOORE is one ov the rarest posters in boxing christendom, tiger press did a re-print 20+ years ago (About 500) useing the same printers ov the original (Only about 200 originals produced & NO programmes)

I was on the dole at the time ov this fight & married with 2 babies on £87.60 a fort-night, i don't gamble, but i lumped it all on Roberto at 4/1 jeeeeezus i was filling me nappy, could'nt sleep & could'nt even afford a newspaper, anyway:!:

I rushed out at 6am 2 the paper shop & only the daily express had the result & it read like this DURAN'S back with a CRASH! BANG! WALLOP! i ****in freaked LOL:happy:happy:happy

 

Painting of Bernard Dunne after knocking out Ricardo Cordoba proudly hangs on my wall

 

Programmes are about 400-500 dollars, what site is it mate? I mainly use Ebay or Jo Sports
