an "Uncle Tom." He was angry that Patterson refused
to call him Muhammad Ali, but continued to call him Clay.

punished Patterson throughout before knocking him out in
the 12th round. Signed in Gold by Both Floyd Patterson and
Muhammad Ali and comes complete with Online Authentics Certificate.

As the dominant heavyweight boxer of the 1960s and 1970s,
Muhammad Ali won an Olympic gold medal, captured the professional
world heavyweight championship on three separate occasions,
and successfully defended his title 19 times. Ali's extroverted,
colorful style, both in and out of the ring, heralded a new
mode of media-conscious athletic celebrity. Through his bold
assertions of black pride, his conversion to the Muslim faith,
and his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War, Ali became
a highly controversial
symbol of the turbulent 1960s.
Ali's 1981 retirement from boxing did not diminish his
status in international public culture. Despite suffering
from Parkinson's disease, he remained on the world stage
as an adherent of the Nation of Islam, an
advocate of children and war victims, and a proponent of
international understanding. Ali has been described as "the
most recognizable human being on earth."
