    Well, that wasnt easy. LOL

    The pic actually looks better than it shows here. The restoration guy says he can take the wrinkles out and wash away( without hurting the pic) a good portion of the yellowing.

    I am slowly trying to learn how to digitally restore old boxing images. I have just spent 30 mins on this and it is coming up nicely.

    Here is what i have so far.

    That is the best photo of Sullivan I have ever seen. Might be a drawing?
