    This is a photo of Duran from between rounds on the first Leonard fight. Got it off Ebay about 4 years ago. The small brown mark at the top left never put me off buying it at all. I was always attracted to the simple "DURAN" in red across the bottom. Photographs of Duran and signed items are easy to find, but anything poster size is like rocking horse ****. Cerainly anything excluding official fight posters.

    Duran-Barkley art by Brian and Dooren Meadows from England. I phoned Brian and asked him for this one, but he had none left as they are limited to 850 worldwide. Fortunatley he managed to track this one down from a guy he sold one to in Australia. I paid £10 for it as it was second hand and had to be removed from a frame. They are usually between £20-£32. I recently got myself a Hagler-Leonard one, and they are limited to only 100 worldwide.

    Holyfield-Douglas original poster. Many of these are around, although with the bottom cut off just above where the Bud can and glass of beer sit. Right along the top of the white border they have been chopped. I kept mines just as normal. Silver was my prefered choice of framing. It compliments the black poster IMO.

    11x14 signed by Holmes and Norton. 8x10's signed by Pep and Breland on the podium at the 84 Olympic games. All from Land of Legends, who are based in New Jersey. They were the first ever to do a private autograph signing with Pernell Whitaker when they approached him at the Mayweather-Gatti fight.

    Ebay and similar sites can be quite good, even for somewhat obscure ones. Google can lead to some good sites as well.

    I want a clear, big poster of Joe Louis. It is hard to come by though.

    Also, Mike Tyson is already on my wall. It is a poster of him throwing a right hook on Quick Tillis.

    Click on "Index", then click on the art available on each fight. Some are no longer available. Real lovely art work available. The Duran-Leonard I piece is a real stunner.

    They Meadows couple (Brian and Doren) are easily the best boxing artists on the planet. Mostly all the original have been presented to the fighters themselves.

    Probably shots from fights, or fight posters like the Holyfield-Douglas one you have.

    I also have a picture signed picture of Larry Holmes, my dad, and I just after a workout at the gym. I have a picture of Lennox Lewis giving Evander Holyfield a right uppercut.

    Great pictures, Bill. I like those 50's posters where "Marciano k.o.'s Louis" is written in almost a happy, comical font. I don't like the one where Rocky lands the elbow however.
