Considered one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport, Joe Frazier reigned as heavyweight champion from 1970 to 1973, fending off a challenge from Muhammad Ali at the world-famous Fight of the Century, held at Madison Square Garden in 1981. With an brutal and unpretentious fight style, topped off with a mean left hook, Frazier's fight style made him a feared opponent for anyone who stepped into the ring with him.

This specimen is a piece of a heavyweight bag glove owned by Joe Frazier and used in his training. It was signed in 1990, the year he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. The glove was part of a personal collection for several years before being squired by Mini Museum.

During his career, Muhammad Ali compiled a record of 56-5 with 37 wins by knockout. His victories include wins over what some consider the finest opposition in history: Sonny Liston (twice), Joe Frazier (twice), Floyd Patterson, Ken Norton (twice), and a knockout victory against George Foreman, one of the hardest punching boxers of all time. Ali also held the title three different times, each time defeating a reigning champion. This feat has never been equaled, nor is likely to be.

This specimen comes from an authentic training bag that was once used by the champion boxer, Muhammad Ali. It is a "crazy" bag designed to help improve accuracy, speed, and endurance.
