Muhammad Ali has come to be known for much more than just his skill in the ring. As an athlete he represented greatness and as an individual he teaches people to stand up for what they believe in. These eight programs are all from championship fights that Ali fought in. The programs cover the full range of his career from his days as Cassius Clay right up to one of his last fights. They range in condition from excellent to near mint but all present beautifully. The programs are from 1963 Clay vs. Cooper, 1966 Ali vs. Cooper, 1967 Ali vs. Terrell, 1971 Ali vs. Mathis, 1977 Ali vs. Shavers, 1977 Ali vs. Shavers (rematch), 1978 Ali vs. Spinks, 1980 Ali vs. Holmes. The 1963 program has several stray pen marks, and the fight card has been filled in.
