Well Ice Cold you may not believe this but a friend of mine here in Melbourne, Australia has the greatest collection of Boxing autographs i have ever seen!
The thing about his collection is he has personally met everyone of the people who signed for him, he won't buy on e-bay for example. He has this sports encyclopedia that has a photo on one page and a bio on the other, it includes Olympians, Golfers, Footballers, Cricketers, Baseball players etc
He has Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Mickey Walker ( sneaked into the hospital to meet him to get it!!)
Ali, Joe Frazier ( Frazier agrees to sign for him, invites him up to his hotel room and opens the door clothed in only a t shirt fully revealing large appendage)
Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Tony Zale, Jake La Motta are a few others that he has met and has a signature in his book.
He is currently after Ruben Olivares and is prepared to travel to Mexico to meet him, so if anyone knows where the great man is living please let me know.
I only have Tszyu and Fenech who signed programmes for me.
